The Secret to Successful Wedding Planning revealed🎶

When you’re planning a wedding, it’s crucial to think big picture.

Enjoy your engagement! Start by collecting vision images on Pinterest, then reverse engineer your plan for the best results.

Making quick decisions without considering the overall picture often leads to problems. Here’s what to avoid:
❌ Booking venues that exceed your budget by 50%
❌ Securing videography or photography that doubles your budget
❌ Spending $3,000 on invitations when your budget is $300

Instead, focus on these key steps:
✅ Define your overall budget.
✅ Allocate funds for each aspect upfront.
✅ Research and quote realistic vendors in order.

Here’s a step-by-step approach:
1️⃣ Set your total budget (e.g., $60,000).
2️⃣ Prioritize photography with a budget of $7,200.
3️⃣ Research photographers within your budget.
4️⃣ Confirm key elements before moving on.
5️⃣ Stick to your budget throughout the planning process.

Common pitfalls include:
🔂 Overbooking photography at $10k when the budget is $7.2k.
🔂 The groom booking cars for $3k when the budget is $500.
🔂 Family members handling drinks without planning for logistics.
🔂 A venue bill of $20k that includes drinks but isn’t negotiable.

Couples often find they need a planner or experienced venue coordinator to manage stress and avoid going over budget.

Thinking big picture, planning in the right order, and checking your budget regularly are essential for a smooth and enjoyable wedding planning experience.
