Omg sis. Your thought process is exactly like me. The bouquet, the saving, cost of the veil the etc 👀🙌🏾 definitely going to look at Waitrose for a bouquet
This was so so helpful!! I couldn’t believe the cost of your wedding dress ! So affordable and still gives that boutique quality. Do you mind sharing where you purchased it ?
discovered your channel literally today and have been binging through your videos. just wanted to quickly say I love the content, it's really helpful 😁 thank you!
Hello! So I really just did a lot of Google research and went to see the venues myself. So I would first search wedding venues in the area I wanted (in my case north london)!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Regarding your venue which hall did you hire and do you know any other halls selling for a similar price. Locations in Greater London. Thanks
Hi Sandra, we did our wedding at Regency banqueting suite, however the price we got was before the pandemic - if you’re looking for similar venues I would just search banqueting halls in London on google - that’s how we found most of them!
The light blue looks so good on you! Both of you avoided so many pitfalls others would be in, so congratulations on that. I personally can't imagine organising everything for a wedding because it can be quite chaotic. Even though your wedding expenditure is on the smaller end of the scale, I can't fathom spending that amount of money for 1 day.
@@camillemondido3419 we set a strict budget, looked around for the best prices, used local small businesses and local businesses that we have a rapport with. Got married at a registry office and had our reception at a local venue as opposed to a large hotel or Manor House. We refused to start our marriage off in debt and decided that having a family holiday and putting money towards our home was more important then a hugely extravagant wedding.
The plan was to go Dominican Republic!! Unfortunately our holiday got cancelled so I'm having to try and rebook again, but I'm hoping we can still stick with DR as it seems amazing!
I think you guys did a brilliant job, and this way of thought can be transferred to organising any big event e.g birthdays, christenings etc. It's not romantic but things need to be treated very business like or you go broke😂😂😂😂
It's funny because when I was saying this price to people, people were thinking I was mad. Euh no im not ain't nobody spending madness on a wedding dress
How do you think we did with our budget? Let us know in the comments! P.S. You can access this exact budget template here for free: exciting-founder-6771.ck.page/8ca4a53893
Oh my word bless you. We did our wedding 3 weeks ago for £3569 for 160 people xx
That's amazing Sue! How did you manage to cut your costs down?
Howwwwwww oooo🤣🤣🤣
How? Can you share it? :)
How?
Yes sis How ?!
Yes! Our wedding, honeymoon, and rings came out to $11,700!
That's amazing Shira and I hope you had an amazing day too!!

Haha sometimes you just have to be creative!!

Yes I was so happy! It was a store called Anna Mode in Finsbury Park, North London 🙂
Thank you !

Thank you so much I love that!! I'm so glad you find the content useful too!
Hi Veronia, this video was really helpful! I'm currently in the process nyself.. do you have venue recommendations or site recommendations? x
Hello! So I really just did a lot of Google research and went to see the venues myself. So I would first search wedding venues in the area I wanted (in my case north london)!
You did well. The fact that you guys were able to include all the areas that are important to you. I like your Nigerian outfit alot.
Thank you so much! Yes we're still really happy with the result!
Well done on the budget! I think being creative is my biggest takeaway!
Thank you! Yes I do think being creative can really help!
I got my dress for £599 at wed2be near Marylebone and it is great 😍 no alterations needed
Love that!! Wed2be was also an option - they do have great prices!

Well done, very helpful and the use of family and friends really helps. 👌🏾
Yes they do, I would defo recommend getting them to help out as much as they can!

Yep it can be very very chaotic! I think at one point we regretted planning it, but obviously it can be hard when your family wants to celebrate!
@@VeroniaSpaine Wedding is the one event where everyone has an opinon.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing
Glad you liked it!
We’re getting married in June, we’ve spent £5000 total, we’re having 180 guests.
That’s amazing Melissa! Best of luck with your wedding too!
How?

Heyyyyy thanks so much for this!!!!
Of course! I hope you found it useful! 😊
I am surprised by the wedding dress cost to go you sis, that’s incredible.
Yep! Although it was a lot of trial and error to get there! 😂
Woow 14k is really good for 200 guest wedding 👏🏾
I think we had to be really creative to achieve this to be fair!
Well done, this sounds absolutely amazing. Where did you go on honeymoon?

100%!! It's literally like a huge project - at least we got some transferable skills out of it 😂😂
Number of guests and location please as that will influence costs thanks
270 guests (although catering we said 200) and our venue was in North London 🙂
@@VeroniaSpaine oh wow that’s really good. I thought the venue was outside London
@@taii_chii6782 Nope! We did have to shop around A LOT to find this though!
It's funny because when I was saying this price to people, people were thinking I was mad. Euh no im not ain't nobody spending madness on a wedding dress
Haha glad to know it's not just me!
@@VeroniaSpaine 😆😆😆
😭😭 I wish my bridesmaid could do my make up, it's so expensive. £300-400 and above
So so expensive! I know I was very lucky to have that otherwise I may have had to do it myself 😅
You're so lucky with the veil. They are so expensive bruh, making my own kmt
They are! My back up option would've been to look on ebay or a similar site!

Oh wow that’s so interesting Eva! At least you can have an idea as to how much you’re likely get back from the wedding too!
I feel both of you did a wonderful job. What was the original budget amount for the wedding?
Thanks for sharing.
Also, JL n Waitrose are sister companies so that is OK
Yes they are!
