Keeping Within Budget
Weddings are already an expensive affair, but by adding the popular season factor to it, you may have hefty expenses to tackle. The best way to avoid any unwelcome surprises and exceeding your budget is by making a list with your absolute must-haves. Once you have finalized what you consider to be the necessities, you can then move on to extras, and keep those fairly modest. If you still have money left over by the time you have finished factoring in all the remaining expenses, you may then choose upgrade your secondary selections to more elaborate options. Getting married during wedding season has its advantages and disadvantages, and higher prices are some of the minuses of marrying during such a popular time. You may wish to choose to prioritize something that you will keep forever, like your wedding bands or wedding dress, rather than something like flowers which will not last longer than that evening.
