On a Tight Budget: Should you let go of your dream wedding?

Most -if not all- girls have dreamt of their perfect wedding. The big white dress, the sparkly chandelier, the beautiful flowers, champagne, red carpet and of course the handsome groom. Once you get engaged, all of those sparkly dreams will come rushing back and this time, it's for real. But then you realize (to your horror) that it's not going to be cheap!

Budgeting your dream wedding maybe is the hardest thing you'll go through during the wedding planning. Do you shell out more money? Do you even have that much money? Or do you keep a modest budget and use the rest of your money for the future?

It's a hard decision, but the good thing is, with the right planning and research, you can have your dream wedding and your emergency fund! With the advent of internet and wedding fairs, it's no longer a hard feat to stay within your 500k budget. There will be sacrifices, for sure, like Jason Magbanua or JayJay Lucas, but there are other photographers or videographers that can also do magic. Those two are on a different level for sure, but there are others out there, who are up and coming, who will give you the same passion and talent with half or maybe even 1/3 of the price.

Of course in the end, no big dress or champagne would ever be more important than the dream husband. It will definitely be more practical to let go of the sparkly chandelier than to let go of your groom because you can't agree on your wedding budget. :)
