And I feel like one of the things I love is hiring somebody who is local to your wedding location. This means you don't have to pay for the travel. You can usually cut back on some of those expenses and wait until a little later to work on all the after effects of like the album and all of those prints. Sometimes you can spend that money later.

So if you don't have it in your budget right away, you could ask for it down the road, which is another great flex. And lastly, flowers. I think that so many people go into it not knowing how much a peony or a ranuncula might cost. So talking to your florist about the look you're after. Sometimes they can choose alternate stems that might be more affordable, also help you repurpose arrangements.

So maybe arrangements you had at your ceremony setting can be repurposed at the reception. It's a great way to make your dollar just go a little further.

Yeah. Oh, I love Elaine. She was, she was on our cover. She had a beautiful super wedding. And I think her advice is so sound, right? You spend all this time planning your wedding. It's so nice to be able to have the memory of that. So I would absolutely agree with capturing that photography is huge. I would also say a videographer,

A lot of people don't think about that until later in their planning and they've already started to spend quite a bit of their budget. But I watch our wedding video all the time. My kids love it. And I think now that we're in this era of video where you've got audio and you're seeing video all the time on social media and websites, you're used to that kind of live action.

Absolutely. You're so right. You cannot splurge on everything, nor should you. We don't want people going over budget. I think it's super important to pick a couple of things that are a value to you. So we ended up getting married at a museum, an art museum, and we did a lot of our activities outside. So we had our ceremony and a reception outside. And at first I had this really big flower budget.
