    We should be on track with what we have but I am sure it will move up once

    We haven’t changed ours at all, but we are going to most likely be about 5-7k under our budget

    We got an idea of how much a wedding costs first and then set a general budget that has some wiggle room. We are trying to keep things as close as we can, but some items ended up costing more than we thought. Luckily, some items (like my dress) was much cheaper than budgeted for so we are still a little over but not too much.

    Our budget is basically "as cheap as someone can possibly have a wedding". We've revised that number a little as we've put down deposits and done more research, but we've done a good job sticking to that mentality

    Zero times. I was very firm with mine and it helps that I’m a semi-minimalist.

    Same! haha he's like, we can't go over X amount... and I'm like, that's the price of the venue plus half the cost of catering alone... It's hard to budget accurately before knowing how much these things actually cost!

    So far, we've stayed within budget. I'm hoping any changes made will be because we have come under budget. (fingers crossed)
