The Ultimate Guide to Budgeting for Your Wedding

Stay on top of your wedding budget with our handy guide

At first glance, you might be overwhelmed at your sizeable wedding checklist in comparison to your limited wedding budget.

Take a deep breath.

Your dream wedding doesn't have to stay a dream. Figuring out what you're prepared to cut back and compromise on will help you work out what is really important to your big day, and how to make it a reality.

It's a good idea to get in early and secure big-ticket items like your ideal venue, entertainment, and catering. It can be chaotic and competitive – to say the least – so it is important to arm yourself and your partner with all of the essential knowledge to make informed decisions on all of your wedding costs.

Many couples who begin to book their suppliers months or even years ahead are shocked to find they have suddenly overspent their wedding budget, long before the actual countdown to the wedding. That is why Sunshine Loans has put together a free Ultimate Budget Wedding Guide to make sure you stay on course, without sacrificing your perfect day.
