According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/12\/12\/zola-wedding-cost-trends-2025\">recent survey<\/a>, the average projected cost for a wedding in 2025 will be <strong>$35,000<\/strong>. With that price tag, it\u2019s more important than ever to ensure that you and your partner are on the same page when it comes to your first <em>major<\/em> spend as a couple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Secret to Planning Your Dream Wedding on a Budget! #weddingbudget #weddingplanning\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zMjgV43I1YY?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Discuss Your Finances &amp; Contributions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sit down with your partner and determine how much money you are willing and able to spend on your wedding. If you have family members that are contributing funds, get clear expectations from them on how they\u2019d like to see the money spent (maybe your mom wants to buy your ceremony flowers, or your partner\u2019s grandparents are writing a lump-sum check for the wedding in general).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Consider setting up a separate checking account or wedding credit card for all wedding purchases to make it easier to keep track of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Set an Absolute Limit:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what, you cannot go over this dollar amount!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Draft Your Guest List:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your guest list will determine <em>so<\/em> much of your budget. It will dictate what size venue you\u2019ll need, how much you\u2019ll spend on food and drink (these are typically per-person costs!), and even what you\u2019ll shell out on wedding stationery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Keeping your guest list trim saves you money on almost <em>every<\/em> wedding budget item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Decide Your Priorities with Your Partner:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you always dreamed of getting married at a specific venue? Does your partner know they want a top-of-the-line photographer? Determine what these priorities are for your dream day so you can accurately allocate your funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Maybe you skip that eternity wedding band so you can splurge on an awesome wedding DJ!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong><strong>Breakdown Your Budget:<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have your priorities listed out, you can start planning how to allocate your funds. No two weddings are the same, but these percentages can give you an idea of how the average couple sets up their wedding budget. But keep in mind: These figures don\u2019t include any additional events (think rehearsal dinner, welcome party, farewell brunch, etc.). If you\u2019re planning these and will be the ones paying for them, you\u2019ll need to add to your budget or re-allocate where you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/pearl.davidsbridal.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Pearl-by-Davids-Wedding-Budget-Breakdown-2.png\" alt=\"Pearl by David's Wedding Budget Breakdown Infographic\" class=\"wp-image-9290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pearl.davidsbridal.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Pearl-by-Davids-Wedding-Budget-Breakdown-2.png 1024w, https:\/\/pearl.davidsbridal.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Pearl-by-Davids-Wedding-Budget-Breakdown-2-980x735.png 980w, https:\/\/pearl.davidsbridal.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Pearl-by-Davids-Wedding-Budget-Breakdown-2-480x360.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>Get Organized:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve set your budget, find a way to track your spending\u2014and stick to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. <strong>Find Ways to Save:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even once you\u2019ve created your budget and have an idea of how much you\u2019re looking to spend on each aspect, comb through to see where you can save so you don\u2019t start your marriage in debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cut down your guest list. <\/strong>We mentioned it before, but seriously, being cutthroat about your guest list keeps costs down across the board.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Go for the less expensive venue. <\/strong>It\u2019s not about the w<em>here<\/em>, but the <em>who<\/em> after all.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Go for minimalist decor. <\/strong>Hey, it\u2019s trending!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opt for an affordable stationery suite. <\/strong>Or better yet, an all digital experience!
