Must haves and Nice to haves. This will help to set your budget for your venue and catering. It\u2019s 2021 going into 2022 \u2013 so density quotients and vax status will also be a limiting factor. Talk to your vendors EARLY about the implications.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Examine Wedding Blackout Dates<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Look at the calendar: is your preferred wedding date one that coincides with the Grand Prix, the races, the Grand Final? Will access to your chosen venue clash with the Marathon &#8211; or another nearby occasion that could influence traffic and hotel access?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Pay attention to Mother Nature<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Hey &#8211; it\u2019s Victoria. It\u2019s not like you won\u2019t be prepared for some variability. Think of contingencies for cover on hot days (you can\u2019t leave elderly guest out in the sun), and always a plan B should the weather bring rain in outdoor settings. And don\u2019t forget the Aerogard.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Look at Your Credit<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Can you get booking with point? Weddings often involve big purchases, so it might be a good chance to use rewards programs. Set a limit though, and control what you spend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Referrals lead to good business<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Allow one vendor to lead you to another. For example your photographer can let you know which florist\u2019s blossoms truly pop, and your venue should let you know which DJ reliably packs the dance floor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>Ease up Your List<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The simplest way of managing your wedding financial plan? Cut your list of people to attend. Keep in mind, a big part of your wedding costs goes to your visitors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>Make a Meal Arrangement<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Take care of your big day team. Ensure you&#8217;re knowwhat meal your vendors get. No one wanting to make you look great and have a great time wants to work on an empty stomach.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li>Get Organised<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Keep track of agreements, quotes and invoices. Put everything in a binder along with notes you make during meetings, and your inspirations and ideas from magazines you need sellers to see.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li>Leave Some Room in Your Wallet<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You\u2019ll see some variations on this, but roughly people spend: 48 to 50 per cent to the venue; 8 to 10 per cent for flowers; 8 to 10 per cent for clothing; 8 to 10 per cent for music; 10 to 12 per cent for photograph\/video; 2 to 3 per cent for the invitation; 2 to 3 per cent for celebrant; and 8 per cent for a wedding coordinator and other costs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li>Don&#8217;t Be Afraid to Ask<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Your wedding vendor ought to be your go-to, most-believed specialists during the planning.It\u2019s their job.
