Bride with high bun and halterneck dress

As Steph chatted to us about her modern winery wedding, she advised how important it is during the planning stage to work out what is really important to you as a couple – what are the things that are non negotiable, that you really just can’t live without? Once you’ve decided on these and costed them out, you know exactly how much budget you have left over for those added extras.

“Make a list of things you want for your wedding and stick to this when booking your venue. Simple things like an extra hour of partying can really impact on your night! Also when planning your budget think about what is important for you both and spend the money on it  – then make sacrifices on things you don’t think are as important. For us the most important things we wanted were the band and the venue and we did not regret it!!”
