I have a budget but I'm unsure how to keep to it?

I have a $10,000 spending limit that I can't go over and if I do I have to push it back a year, how do I keep it under my limit? The wedding is already to far away in time for my liking :(

Dear bride to be , Having a wedding planner can help you stay on tack of budget Also look at hiring different items instead of buying things that will just sit there once the wedding is done Good luck x

Self control and a strict line item by line item spreadsheet.

I separate everything out in my couples budgets -

Photographer

Venue

Hair Stylist

Makeup artist

And then I have 5 columns.

1. Estimate (you might not be able to estimate)

2. Actual (the actual costs coming in

3. Paid

4 Outstanding

It's the way I stick to my couples budgets

Hi Bride to be,

Best advice I can give is to write everything into a spreadsheet so you know what you have spent or will need to spend.

Another good idea is if you find a beautiful centre piece that you like, see if you can create it without a company (e.g buy items from cheap shops - they do have some items)

If you need further help or would like us to take a look over your budget, please do not hesitate to send us an email happy to help!

Hope this helps
