Comment on "Budget Bride"

Syd — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:23:36 GMT

I loved every single word. I also learned some things that I had never considered about a budget. I've decorated for weddings/events for the last 7 years,and there have been times when I have used the word budget and the client looks offended. I will use what I have read Thanks, SYD

One question that usually comes up when a couple announces their engagement is, "Who will pay for the wedding?"

Traditionally, the majority of the wedding expenses are paid for by the bride and/or her family. In our more modern times, however, another approach is to divide the costs up between the bride and groom and each set of parents.

Below is a list of the traditional guidelines for wedding expenses. You may choose to adapt this list to your own personal needs and preferences.

On Martha Stewart Weddings for Fall 2006 there is a great 8 pages Wedding Workbook (checklist).
And never allow the details to overshadow the joy of the event.
