I hope you enjoyed going through my real UK wedding budget with me - I still don't really know hw to breakdown a wedding budget, but I gave it a good go! I wonder if we'll stick to our £25,000 budget? I hope so!!!

I got wholesale flowers and arranged them myself for my wedding with my bridesmaids and it worked out so well! You save a tonne and is so fun to do the day before (so long as you're not super stressed about other things - or maybe if you are it'll help take your mind off it!). Would 100% recommend! We did a budget wedding for about £5/6000 and it was the best day ever! ☺️
Also it you are doing that with flowers start collecting jam jars and get cheap vases from charity shops for table centrepieces!
@@sophiesayswatcha ahhh amazing!! Thank you so much for the tips 🥰🥰
Where did you order wholesale flowers from?
For someone so money savvy, I'm surprised your spending so much!
I got married in the UK 6 years ago. We paid for everything ourselves and our total cost was just £6,000.
There are so many ways to save your money and still have an amazing day.
We had a traditional church wedding, followed by a sit down home catered brai, for 120 people.
No point even bothering with advise because she won’t take any notice. Just rude and ignorant. Can’t even be bothered to comment to all these people. It’s not a ‘budget wedding’ like she made out it was going to be! In a few years when they’re divorced like everyone does she will wish she hadn’t bothered! People that spend that much on weddings are doing so for everyone else not them. All for the gram! Just so cringe
@@lucywhite3014 why are u so pressed???? Stop being jealous its her day she can spend as much as she wants :) no need to be bitter u dont know her relationship so shhhhhhhh love x
@@lucywhite3014 She never said it was a budget wedding. She said she was sharing the budget for her wedding. There’s no need for the negativity, if you don’t like something/someone, don’t follow them on social media.
@@lucywhite3014 someone shit in your cornflakes or something? It's her wedding, she's a human being marrying the person she loves, she can spend whatever the hell she wants. She's done this video to show people what she is doing and help people that may not know what to expect budget wise. Crikey.
Meant to add - I had artificial flowers and they were truly stunning. I now use mine every Christmas as table decor!
I would say that by the time you get a cheese ‘cake’ you would be spending a fair bit of money anyway and remember people at your wedding will probably be drinking all day and if you don’t feed them they will get really drunk!!!
Wed2be dresses were lovely when I tried them on a few years ago! Enjoy the planning it’s so much fun!!
My mum is a florist and she said you could definitely do the table and venue flowers yourself to save a lot of money, but that the bride’s bouquet and buttonholes for the men are harder than they look to pull off and you need to consider that those flowers will be in pretty much every photo from the day so maybe get a florist to just make those for you and do all the table and venue ones yourself x
Definitely recommend a videographer I didn’t have one booked until the week before my wedding because I couldn’t stop thinking about it! & it was worth every penny and the best thing we had, we’ve watched it so many times & it really allows you to relive your day much better than the photos!! Xxx
Photos, video and rings are the only things you'll keep forever from your wedding. We added a videographer last minute and it was honestly the best thing we did ❤
Congrats for your upcoming wedding and hope all is going to plan. We got married 4 years ago and decided to do everything ourselves. A lot of work but well worth it. Decorated church, venue, bouquet & button holes, made our cake (4 tier). If you are going to do your own flowers check out Triangle Nurseries. They supplied all our flowers and I could not have been more pleased with the help and advice they gave. Yes it's a lot of work when sourcing stuff but can save a lot too & very satisfying too. Good luck.
We did our wedding for around the same budget. I did our own signage/website and then didn't need any stationery! And we did a 'cheese-cake' as well.
I would say my only wedding regret is that we didn't have a videographer so I would defo recommend putting your budget towards that rather than the smaller details that only really you care about (stationery, expensive decor and flowers - love the DIY idea especially with all the faux foliage you can get now!).
Don't forget, if you do go for cheesecake, to ask your venue to provide crackers etc. We totally forgot which meant they had to go get some on the morning 🙄 and added to our bill of course!!
My friend had a cheese cake for the same reason. Honestly she says she regrets it. Family (especially the kids) were looking forward to a cake (many didn't even like solid cheese) and it hardly got eaten. Plus it got a bit whiffy towards the end of the night 😆 maybe get cupcakes for those who won't eat the cheese? Cheaper than a cake and you don't have to tell the baker they're for a wedding so they don't buck up the prices x
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Ours is in 45 days and my spreadsheet is my bible! Just a few things you might want to consider (caveat that I'm in Canada so maybe things are different in the UK): look into the terms of your insurance. Some insurance policies require you to buy them within a limited number of days of your first wedding purchase. So you may have to buy it ASAP so it covers the venue and other things you've already purchased. For the wedding dress, don't forget to factor in alterations. Those can really cost a lot. My dress is super simple but just hemming and adjusting the straps is costing me $300. You should also add a line item for "extras." Like you say, there's so many ways to go over, things costing more, tips, taxes, paying for trials, etc. So I would factor in like 10% for extras just so you're not surprised when you go over. We're doing a very small wedding and were aiming for $3-5K but it's looking more like $6K+.
Oh and yes we did the table flowers and things ourselves and had so much fun doing it! We paid for our bouquets but going to a flower market and doing it yourself is so achievable
You very similar ideas/vision that I had for my wedding- a very different budget! We had 120 people to the day and did the wedding for less than 10k (including honeymoon)
I got my dress from wed2b and just found a seamstress to alter it. We found a florist to do the bouquets and button holes, but we too got the rest of the flowers from wholesalers. We then collected loads of jars (jam jars etc) bought hessian and ribbons to decorate them and then placed the flowers in there. Got a friend to do me a wooden log/plate for each table and placed the jars on top. Looked lush. It was then nice to offer each quest a jar of flowers as they said goodbye- people commented about being able to look at their flowers in their homes over the following days to remember the wedding by. I still have some jars around my home that I use now as tea light holders ect. X
Videographer is so worth it!! Omg you won't regret it
For your wedding stationery I would strongly recommend buying a template on Etsy and printing it yourself! We bought nice linen paper and got so many compliments!
Completely agree - we got some nice linen paper from The Range and it printed really well on our (cheap) home printer...people thought they were professionally made but I just did them on pages and printed, put on a nice brown card like a mount and job done for probably about £25 - £30!
@@philippatownly87 definitely! We saved a fortune! I managed to print on the envelopes for our invites too which made it even more special ☺️
Also for the video videographer I didn't want to pay loads either. Got a relative with a go pro to go around making candid videos and messages. Was lovely to watch back after not seeing/remembering lots of things. Was free and funny. Maybe consider that (or a student videographer who charges cheap?) I get you won't watch it loads, but I love I have the option if I want to jog my memory or watch back with my son when he's grown x
Might be worth adding in alterations for your dress, possibly between £50 and £400 depending on what needs to be done, I got my dress from wed2b and needed the straps shortening, taking in a bit, and taking up and I think it was around £170. Wed2b is great though and has a good selection and they don’t feel budget!
We did our whole wedding for around £6000 but our venue was £600 plus tables and catering (which were £200 and £900).
For decoration, we collected loads of jam jars and had loads of baby breath in them up and down the tables. We did pay for a local florist to sort as we didn’t have time and she did the tables, flower girls head bands and baskets, bridesmaids bouquets, buttonholes and my bouquet for £250! But we could have definitely done the tables and bridesmaids one ourselves and saved probably £150 there.
Oh also we got our bridesmaids dresses from M&S in the end! We wanted multi-way dresses as the four girls were so different in shapes and I hunted for a while and M&S had them for £50! Wed2b also do pretty bridesmaids dresses which aren’t a tone!
For your cake you could watch videos and self teach it's normally just four round cake bases and white fondant with decorative pieces could save alot and check charity shops for anything you need before purchasing you would be surprised what they have 💜💜
We got married last year, should have been in May but the pandemic (duh!) - we haven't actually added up what we spent...awful really as I'm an accountant! But the quotes we got from caterers etc were very similar to yours. We did a few bits 'on the cheap' - invitations and on the day stationary I printed with paper purchased from The Range - also Hobbycraft do great wedding things like little stamps and bits super cheap. Bridesmaid dresses were from TFNC via ASOS - highly recommend, think they were around £50 each and the quality was actually fantastic. They were long so they just wore their own shoes because you couldn't see them anyway and then they were comfy. We weren't sure about a cake either but we had Colin the caterpillar cakes and a doughnut wall which went down a treat when we wanted a late night naughty snack! Super cheap and easy but something everyone liked!
Sat here watching this whilst going through our own wedding budget 😂 getting married in May and have very similad style and budget to you so very much enjoying this series! 💍
Highly recommend wed2b!! I had a terrible experience at my first boutique being a UK size 16 most dresses at the boutique couldn't even fit over my hips and yet they expect you to spend £1500 on a dress that needs alterations.. there's so much choice at wed2b and you buy one off the rack which fits you and doesn't need alterations. The wed2b consultant had so much expertise and she built up my confidence so much. I did end up going to another boutique and went for a designer dress in the end but I loved every dress i tried on at wed2b
Recommendations artificial florist
foam wedding flowers liverpool but they are amazing they look so real.
Optimal print for the stationary bits. Your local wed2be branch will have a list of dress alterations as well. Also love the idea of a cheese wheel cake 😁
We got our bridesmaids dresses and all the men’s suits from ASOS! Everyone was happy and we had compliments on our choices too xx
And also check out Waitrose for wedding cakes we got a 'naked’ 3 tier cake for 150 quid then decorated with loads of fresh berries and flowers. They might to cheese cakes too! Xx
You will definitely save a lot by not doing paper invites you would be surprised how costly they can be! We didn't have a videographer but my uncle offered to video for us. We let him because he wanted to and we really didn't expect much from the video but it was so lovely to see. If you can ask a friend to video the ceremony and first dance on their phone just because they are such lovely moments to look back on 😊
Loved this video, I really like seeing people’s budget breakdowns! We got married at Christmas 2018 and spent a total of £12,500 on ours - a few things were kindly paid for by family, eg. Cake & dress, and we didn’t need to have accommodation as we got married in a hotel close to home. Our venue was a great deal (cheaper as a winter wedding package) and included all food, we paid extra for drinks and evening food. Aside from the venue our main spends were on an amazing photographer and outfits for the men (large family!). All the best with wedding planning, it’s so exciting and it will be the best day!
That’s a hell of a budget Woahhh I didn’t think weddings were that expensive 🤣 it’s going to be such a good day!! Congratulations 🥳 xx
Try JJ’s house for bridesmaid dresses, they are so much cheaper and the quality is great! I went round the big names to try on dresses with my bridesmaids to know the style that everyone liked then we picked a similar style from JJ’s house and they all come in so many colours. Highly recommend! 😊
Agreed! I got mine from there and they were gorgeous!
I’d also say try looking in charity shops, I was in a few the other day and there were loads of bridesmaid style dresses with tags still on! Depends on your style of course and if you don’t mind them not all uniformed etc. X
Hi!! Congratulations on getting engaged :):) such exciting times! I saw you mentioned about getting flowers from wholesalers. I did the same for my wedding and I think I only spent about £400 on flowers for 15 centrepieces and ceremony decor! There’s a flower wholesalers that you can visit in Colchester called D Byford & sons. They were great and have an amazing selection and great quality :) if you want any photos of the flowers I had for my wedding then I’m happy to share! Xx
Thankyou ☺ this was helpful and realistic . I have been struggling with our budget and this aligns with oursxxx
I recently got married… we budget 20k was just shy of £25k 🙈 but you don’t realise all the little things you buy!! Good luck! X
Check out if your local wedding dress shops are doing sample sales! My dress was a sample, should have been £1800 and I paid £600 and it fit me like a glove so I didn't even have to get alterations!
I think all in if you include gifts (parents bought my dress, gave us some money etc) our wedding was £22500, it was for 85 guests then another 40 came in the evening. It was an amazing day xx
I got my wedding dress in the sample sale at my local wedding shop - it was £450 plus alterations (which cost more than I’d anticipated tbh!)
We saved so much money by purchasing things when suppliers had deals on. For example we booked our band at a wedding fair and the were offered a reduced price so saved £200, we bought our cake when they were offering a deal for Black Friday so the voucher saved us £300, we made some diy things for our decor and I made my own centre pieces for tables using old apothecary jars and old books from eBay (we are having a vintage literary theme). I also made some of our stationary myself which saved hundreds of pounds. I also bought my wedding shoes from quiz when they had a sale on so only cost me £16 which was amazing. I got my bridesmaids to pay for their own accessories since I was paying for their dresses. We did splash out on other areas that were important to us like kilts and dresses, rings, and flowers.it’s your day and you are entitled to spend whatever you want to have your dream wedding. People will always have an opinion on what you’re spending but at the end of the day it’s your wedding not theirs.
Maybe consider a less popular videographer and therefore cheaper one. We had one for our wedding 2 years ago for £250 covering ceremony up until just after the first dance and love watching it on our anniversary so wouldn't want to miss that for the world..alternatively ask family and Friends if they'd be willing to take clips in turns so no one is overwhelmed which then could be edited together?
This is so helpful while I'm planning my wedding!
If you do go for a wedding cake m and s do them and they are a lot cheaper! Also I reckon hair and make up will be more if you’re paying for you and your bridesmaids - bridal make up can be nearly £100 just for the bride!
I personally wouldn't spend money on accomodation for guests. Most weddings guests to sort overnight accomodation themselves. Free drinks at bar are more appreciated imo.
My flowers are 320 I'm having top table design, button holes, corsage, bridal bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets.
I got my dress for wed2b and loved it but I did need alterations because obviously they are just off the rail. I would allow at least £100 for that just Incase. But I love the fact you can spend as long as you like in there you just have to wait your turn and only try on 3 dresses at a time
Morrison's do flower designs in little vases, for 5 pound each
From one military wife to another make sure your wedding insurance is for military to cover Ash's uniform and just in case he gets leave cancelled etc!! I know we hate to think about it but we all know the Military!
Weddings are so ridiculously expensive! I still cannot believe that I managed to keep mine in my £10k budget 5 years ago! I personally wouldn't pay for guests accommodation though as you are spending a fortune on a massive party where they are going to enjoy great food and drink paid for by you. I can guarantee they will not mind paying for their own accommodation and it will save a large amount of money that could be used elsewhere or just help keep your budget under £20k.
Sian do you mind me asking what you did in terms of stationary in the end please? Did you do invites in the end? or menu / order of the day etc. Thanks xx
I got my wedding dress by Milanoo for 120€ and it's soooooo beautiful😍
Just FYI our videographer was £1,750 so a lot cheaper than you mentioned & she also had cheaper packages! Think she started at around £1,400 ♥️
My venue is £30,000 dry hire , all we get is tables and chairs 🤦🏾♀️😅
Charity shop wedding dress!!!! I’m telling you 🙈 mine cost £85 ❤️
Also ever pretty for the bridesmaids!
This is crazy - I work in a weddig venue and just venue with nothing included is £18K, catering for 100 people would be around £15K!
Mind blown you can have a deposit on a house for that much money!🤯
We’re not doing cake either because it’s just so expensive! (And some weddings I’ve been to most people don’t even have any) I don’t understand how a cake can be £300-500
We had Colin the caterpillars from M&S (should have been giant ones but COVID put a stop to that) and tbh people were happy with a slice of chocolate cake! We also had a doughnut wall which went down an absolute treat...drunk people want snacks!
I wish I’d had had your mentality when I was getting married! Everything was beautiful but it’s SO expensive! Good on you chick! X
You will need people's addresses to send out thank you cards later. Believe me, getting addresses now will save you a headache later!
£25,000 😯 then there’s me trying to get married for as little as possible. No way on earth I could afford so much.
1St
Good morning x
If you dont sell your dress, there is a company called sleeping angels you donate your dress and they make baby dresses out of the material for babies that have passed away in hospital xx
@sophbellebrown did all her flowers herself and saved loads and they looked really good
