Planning the perfect wedding budget

It’s time to talk money. Follow our top tips on budgeting for a dream wedding.

The ‘budget chat’ won’t be the most romantic conversation you’re going to have when it comes to planning your big day, but overspending isn’t very romantic either. One of the first things you need to do when that rock is comfortably on your finger is decide who’s paying for what.

Traditionally, the father of the bride picked up the tab for the main event, with the groom chipping in for ceremony fees and a suitably fabulous, surprise honeymoon. But, times are changing. Many contemporary couples choose to pay for the bulk of their wedding themselves, or even to split the costs three ways – between them and both sets of parents.

Whatever you decide to do, at Confetti we’re here to help you spend wisely with that all-important goal in sight – planning your dream wedding.
