    We increased our budget only once, so far we're sticking to it.

    The budget didn't really change maybe because we didn't set an overall budget. I kept track of what was spent on each individual item, attire, decor, etc. We actually came out better that way.

    Never really set one, just paid as we went. We knew what we could afford though and had an idea on what we were willing to spend on certain things.

    Once. Goal was 10 k initially. Buuuut there were things we wanted to not compromise for. So probably will be more around 13/15k

    To be honest I don't even know the budget! It's definitely small but my parents are managing it.

    Increased once but it's just for precautions. Since we want to be ready for any surprises!

    Two many times to count. We were going to keep it small and do a backyard wedding but it turned into 145 guests

    At least three times. It increased then decreased. A lot of people are saying don't spend too much on the wedding, it goes by in a blink. Focus more on the honeymoon

    I never set a budget. I’ve been planning for just over a year and have been paying as I go. I’m not going to stress myself out and I’m going to have everything I want and no debt when we are done Smiley smile

    Originally we had planned to elope, so we didn’t really set a budget. Then things just kept growing as more and more people found out and wanted to join us. We still have not set a formal budget, but the costs definitely keep expanding.
