Venue itself will be around 10k (eek) then everything else, i dread to know the final cost. But we are lucky, we don't have kids yet and brought our house this year so all money can go towards our wedding (got 3 years to save). Will be worth it.

mine is cheap compared to everyone else's mine is around £3000 at the most. i am going to local registary office (my mam and dad got married there over 30 years ago) then rugby club. im having a late ceremony so no wedding breakfast just straight on to reception. we bought our house a year ago it needs a kitchen and a bathroom and got 2 children under 3 so my funds are needed elsewhere. still more then happy with what i have planned and went over budget on my dress as well haha

Suzanne Lent

I’m hoping to do mine between 1k - 2k.
Wedding package is 1k, my dress is £180.
We only have 26 guests though, including bridal party.
Everyone’s budget is different.
You do what you want to do, if you have the money, go for it.
I can’t even afford 1k! It’s gonna be a massive struggle for us.

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

Around 18k once we are finished getting everything, does include honeymoon and spending money though!

We originally said £10000, but probably looking more like £13000 now or slightly more
We have got our venue for the whole weekend though

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

Ours would have been about 6k. However, my H2B has invited everyone on the planet so goodness knows now lol xxx

Wer budgeting £3000 but its looking like it will come in under £2000 as im making everything myself and we are having a very informal wedding. Will be exactly how we want it though xx

Too much

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

£5000-£6000

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

My budget is coming out at just over £13000 bit my aim is to get it done for £10000. That includes a few days away after the wedding

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

Ours will probably be around £3000, maybe even less than that. That includes our lovely venue, decorations, catering, my dress, the cake, our invitations etc etc. It's basically what everything will cost us put together. Remember though, it's not about how much you spend on your wedding

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

We went over budget. Budget was 6k... ended up spending 8k plus honeymoon was 2k

UKbride Administrator

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

Way WAY more than anyone else has put on here.... I'm not going to say because I don't want to get slammed....

However we have saved, we can afford it (just about ) as we have been paying for it for over 18 months and it's what we want. Also we have 120 guests for the day time and 200 for the evening so we are feeding a LOT of people which has been where the bulk of the money has gone...

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

We spent 10k

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

We budgeted 10k but ended up about 12 with all the things you don't account for, gifts, drinks etc and we did so much ourselves

Sammi Louise

I'm hoping not more than 16k

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

We said 7K at first (without parents contributing to this figure), then 10K and now more likely to be about 13K... it keeps adding up! But we own a house, have really good jobs and no kids so we thought why not? It’s different for everyone though!

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

We've got a budget of 7k but hopefully will be under that

So far we have spent £6000 and that's just my dress venue and ring. Still got lots to sort!! We have been engaged for 15 years and have a house and 3 children who are ten and over so have the time and money to organise it all!! We also have a foster child who we are hoping can be a bridesmaid! 😁 hubby to be said he's not fussed how much we spend as long as I'm happy!! Love him so much!

You can't compare with other people. There are too many variants. It's like asking someone what they spent in a house, could be 90k or a million. Set your budget, decide what's important to you and then plan and enjoy your day.

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

We've got a budget of about £6k, so far coming in on budget but still 8 months to go x

Me and my partner are getting married in Tenerife and that will be €965 xxx

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

We did it for less than£1,000

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

Does it matter? Each couple spend what they want on what they want-at the end of the day as long as you are both happy, sod what anyone else thinks! You can have a great wedding for a small amount and a great wedding for a large amount-just because somebody spends £100k on a wedding doesn’t mean it’s what everyone else will want

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

It is not the price that matters. It is what you want and can afford xx

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

Our budget is £5k with everything included, so far we're only at £4k and only have suits, dresses, stationary (invites etc) and rings to buy...... so hopefully won't be far off that mark. Xx

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

I spent just over 2k for the lot outfits both bridal party and grooms suit plus the wedding itself and reception plus food (hubby did the food himself)

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

Think about a civil ceremony at 5pm .... no wedding breakfast .... evening buffet .... this will help with budget

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

We will have spent about 9 to 10 thousand xxx

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

I don't think it matters how much you spend and def not what anyone else is spending as long as YOU have the wedding you want and can afford. It's about you and htb not the price tag. Enjoy and good luck x

Sharon Allen
Sharon Allen 17 Oct 2017

Me and my partner got married and it cost us £1,200 for everything. It doesn't matter how much you pay to get married as long as it's what you both want. I wanted a cheap wedding as i didn't want to pay loads of money for one day that i knew I could do cheaper.

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

12000 including 2week all inclusive honeymoon with our son and spending money.

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

We haven't got a budget, (saved loads and planned for 2 years) and are just making sure we have the wedding we both want. It doesn't matter how much it costs, just that you are both happy

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 17 Oct 2017

If any of you ladies want beautiful one of a kind flowers at very reasonable prices please take a look at my website . Will also offer 10% off orders or 5% off wedding packages to the group . (Subject to the date being available)

I spent 10k on ours but we had videographer, dove release , photo booth , caricaturist, candy cart , 2 photographers , make up artist honeymoon in the Dominican . If could give any advice too many people spend too much on venues for great looking photos then go cheap on their dress and flowers . You are the main attraction in your photos a huge venue costing thousands is brilliant but try to think about your dress and flowers will be in the photos with you to look back in years to come . Check out vendors reviews, reccomendations, are they on google ? Do your research as a florist and run a wedding group of 2,500 brides so many are trying to save money so much that they are being lured into these scammers and fraudsters hands advertising amazing products at rock bottom prices . Then months later paying out even more when they have taken their money . Please never pay by PayPal friends and family option , ask if they have liability insurance most fraudsters won’t and wedding insurance is as little as a one of payment of £30-50 depending on your budget protects you up to two years so should your dress shop go into liquidation you can claim to get a new one . DIY some things yourself like favours , coat hangers, signs etc
Hope this helps x

Donna Hood
