Plan the perfect… wedding budget

Whatever your wedding budget, you can afford a great wedding -- if you’re careful...

It may not be very romantic, but the issue of who’s paying for what is one of the first things that needs to be established when you plan your wedding.

Traditionally, it falls to the father of the bride to pick up the tab for the main event, with the groom chipping in for the church or registry fees and the all-important honeymoon. But times are changing fast. Today, more couples choose to pay for the bulk of their wedding themselves, or costs may even be split between the couple and the two sets of parents.

Whatever you decide to do, this confetti guide will help you to make your money go further towards getting the wedding you want.
