In this episode of The Well Designed Wedding, I’ll walk you through the real reasons budgets often shift and how easy it is to fall in love with beautiful details you didn’t even know existed. While it’s easy to find average numbers online or hear stories from friends, the truth is, most couples end up spending more than they originally planned. I’m not here to tell you how much you should spend, but I do want to help you identify your top priorities, whether that’s guest experience, design, storytelling, connection, fun, or peace of mind, so you can invest with intention and confidence, knowing every decision reflects what matters most to you.My hope is that after listening, you’ll feel more empowered and less overwhelmed by the numbers. Budgeting doesn’t have to be stressful, it can be a chance to clarify your priorities and create a celebration that feels completely true to you. With a little intention, a touch of flexibility, and a willingness to revisit the plan as your vision evolves, you can design a wedding that’s not only beautiful, but intentional every step of the way.If you found this episode helpful, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, or share it with someone else who’s in the midst of wedding planning.
