*This is a collaborative post*

Getting married is always going to be a big deal. It’s undoubtedly one of the most special days of your life, and you’ll quite often find that it’s nice to ensure it’s the day of your dreams. Some women have been dreaming about their wedding days forever. Since they were little girls. They may even know exactly how they want the day to pan out – and that’s just so exciting. But, if you don’t really know what you want, that’s okay too. Because you will eventually figure it all out once the plans are underway. And that’s where you’re going to want to start. Because choosing between a summer and winter wedding or home or abroad seems crazy right now, but it definitely gets easier when you start the research.

Another thing that you will want to bear in mind is the price. As you may already know, weddings can be costly. However, all you really need to do is to make sure that you’re planning ahead and that you’re really thinking about all of the different areas that you’ll need to spend on. And, the good thing is, you may find that there are only a few things that are important to you. So, you can invest in those areas and cut back in others. But, which areas will you want to invest in?

1. The Dress

To begin with, you may find that you want to allocate a large proportion of your budget to finding the right wedding dress. It’s so important for you to make sure that you feel comfortable on your special day. And sometimes, it’s the dress that you really want to invest in. If you know that this is the most important part, then be sure to do your research and look for dresses that are going to be just right for you.

2. The Rings

The next area that you will find really interests you is the rings. Well, you may not want to go overboard here and simple wedding rings will do. But if you know that you want it to last forever then it’s important for you to ensure that you are allocating the right budget for them.

3. A Photographer

One of the areas you might find yourself forgetting about is photography. But, this is often one of the most important areas of all. It’s essential that you are sourcing the right documentary wedding photography team to film and photograph the day. Most of the time, you’ll want to look at their previous work and even consider their style of photography too. If you want incredible photos for memories, then you absolutely have to invest here.

4. The Venue

Another area of the wedding for you to think about is the venue. This won’t always be the most important part to everyone, but you may find that you still need to be able to choose the right venue. For you, that could be based on location or size – or maybe the look of it. Plus, there’s deciding whether you want to get married at home or abroad as well. Sometimes, the wedding can be the most important expense.

5. Catering

The next thing that you’re going to want to consider is the catering. You may find that you really want to ensure you have the reception menu of your dreams – especially if you love food. Maybe you love the idea of enjoying the finest foods and having the best possible meals available is important to you? Then you’ll definitely want to ensure that you invest in this area.

6. Entertainment

Then there’s also the evening information. It’s so important for you to ensure that you have fun and enjoy your day. When that’s the case, think about what kind of music or evening entertainment you’d love to put on, and how you can invest to make this better.

7. The Honeymoon

And, of course, you cannot forget about the honeymoon! You don’t want to spend everything on the big day itself and then not enjoy the honeymoon of your dreams. Sure, you might find that you get some money from your guests and that can go towards your honeymoon – but wouldn’t it be nice to go away the day right after you get married. Or soon after? You’re definitely going to want to save some of your budget for this part, because it extends the big day itself!
