Indian weddings with their grandeur are the most awaited day for every groom and bride and while it’s like a dream, planning the perfect wedding requires a huge investment. With so much glamour and glitter around, you must be perfectly aware of the cost it would require to set up such an extravaganza and it can be a tricky process because the main challenge here is managing all the hopes and emotions involved of family and friends. However, creating life-cherishing memories does not require a specific budget, it only requires the right process to execute your vision in a perfect manner. Planning a nuptial on a budget suitable to you is all about prioritising your requirements toward bringing your dream wedding to life. To simplify the process for you, Anam Zubair, Associate Director of Marketing - WeddingWire India, put together a step-by-step guide that can help you plan your wedding budget with ease: (Emma Bauso)

1. Finalising the budget - The first and most important step is to finalise a broad budget range for your big day. Planning your wedding can be a stressful and time-taking process, but setting the budget range, in the beginning, will help you to channel your creative flow in the right direction. In fact, to simplify the job, you can opt for a budgeting tool which will not only simplify the job by letting you assign a budget to various vendors but also help you manage every task and related payments efficiently.

2. Choosing the ‘right’ date - Many times, the primary task in wedding planning is to choose the date and time of your wedding. This can follow the budget step or even be done before as per your preference. Mostly, if you plan a wedding in a month with a lot of wedding dates/mahurats, the cost will be on the higher side as venue bookings will be expensive but at the same time, if you plan it on a non-saaya date, the same venue will come at a cheaper price. The case will be similar for other vendors like clothing, jewellery, choreography, photography, etc, as well. Non-saaya dates and other recommended dates can help you to manage everything in your preferred budget and create a magical experience without any discomfort. So whether you plan an evening wedding filled with glam or glitter or a daytime wedding with minimalistic decor, the ultimate objective is to make it a memorable one. (Olya Kobruseva)

3. Preparing Guest List - Preparing the guest list is the next important step in wedding planning. Whether you want it to be a closed-knit affair or an extravaganza, it will affect the budget you have allocated for the venue, catering, etc. Be it 100 or 800 guests, all of them are going to be there to celebrate the love you share as a couple, so the key is to create everlasting memories, while staying on your budget.
