Congratualtions on your recent engagement.
To answer your questions yes it certainly can be done, recently engaged couples planning their wedding these days do pay for their own wedding. Be sure to do your research into vendors and services around your local area and surronds, attend bridal expos, if you are on facebook look for weddign buy swap sell pages in your local area and surronds as well as DIY Brides Australia is also another helpful facebook page where Brides as well as Grooms speak to other newly engaged as well as past brides about how to and what worked when planning their wedding. 
Be sure to set a budget and if you need help do not hesitate to speak with your parents reagardign financial issues that arise.

Paying for your own wedding without help from your parents is more common nowadays. It is easy to stick within budget with set guidelines and a clear vision of what is most important.  DIY options are great but ensure you have the resources and time to follow through with your ideas. At Intimate Weddings & Events we offer all inclusive wedding packages from $4000.00 so do some research to find the best deal to suit dream wedding.

Hi

Yes you can absolutely pay for your own wedding without your parents help. I did this and I knwo many others that do.

I did this because of my Italian background and only wanted a small wedding with a garden ceremony - a far cry from a traditional Italian wedding!

If your concern is offending your parents then let them help out in other areas or pay for the bar tab. There are plenty of ways to get around it.

Bottom line is if it is your wedding then do what makes you and your partner happy.

Good luck

Hello lovely! 

Of course you definitely can! I would recommend getting a Wedding Planner to help you along the way to get you the best prices possible for you. Many brides pay for their wedding on their own for various reasons. It all depends on what you are after and how much you want to spend. Feel free to send me an email for any enquiries! 

Have a lovely day! 

Kind Regards,

Jess

Hello lovely,

You can absolutely pay for your own wedding without your parents help, I did! 

If you are going to pay for your wedding yourself then make sure you set yourself a budget. There are lots of templates you can find online. Add your approximate amounts you would like to spend on each item E.G. wedding dress/catering/flowers etc... 

Dont let the total amount overwhelm you, take each item as it comes. Moving forward you will know which items you want to spend more on and which items you are happy to cut back on. 

You can certainly still have the wedding of your dreams without any outside financial help. 

Wishing you all the best :-)

Hi Bride and congrats on your engagement!!

It completely depends on what type of wedding you want, how many guests, and how much you and your fiance can afford.  A relaxed casual wedding can be beautifully created with some ingenious budget saving ideas!!  We work with couples with all various budgets and most times these days the couple are paying for their own wedding.  Happy to chat and give you some pointers anytime.
