Rings-£600
So between-9000/10000 but these are top figures as in the highest theyll be, depends how generous we are when it comes to wine on the tabes at the do etc and also what deals or extras we can get added in. We have some money coming from family too which has helped us to be able to have a nice venue.
I think DIY is a really good way of saving money and if you have the time to do some stuff yourself then it could really be worth it x
