Figuring out your wedding budget is definitely not the best part of planning, but is super-important. First, you’ll need to figure out who’s paying for what, or how much money you are being given by parents etc. Statistics say that almost half of couples are paying for the majority of their wedding themselves. Once you’ve figured out the total sum of money you have to spend (the average cost of an Australian wedding is about $38,000), then work out how you’ll split it between all of the goods, vendors and services you’ll need. WeddingWire has a great budget tool to help you stay organised. Budget so that you still have some money in the kitty because there will always be unexpected costs pop up (74 percent of couples go over their budget!).
