Planning a wedding

Traditionally when the bride's parents finance most of the wedding the Mother of the Bride has taken on a large part of the wedding planning and making the wedding arrangements. More recently the bride and groom often pay for or make a big financial contribution themselves. The bride then tends to make many of the detailed wedding arrangements herself. If you are having a big wedding with many guests and a large budget you may like to employ a professional wedding planner, who can often source good deals on your behalf and will certainly take away much of the stress, particularly as your wedding day approaches. A professional wedding planner will typically charge 10 - 15% of the cost of your wedding suppliers.

Wedding Budget

A wedding can cost from as little as £1000 to as much as £50,000 and beyond if you are a celebrity. TYpically the average wedding costs are in the region of £10,000. Whatever your budget you will want to ensure that the money is spent wisely on the things you really want. See our wedding budget checklist and guide.
