budget for my wedding

[freeze29]

to all married peepz:

my soon to be wife and i are planning to get married sometime in october2010. we have been living in for the past 2 years so i guess its time. lol we are planning to have a laid back wedding with not much fancy stuff..we just celebrated our daughter's 1st birthday last month so were on a quite tight budget...(yes, may anak na kami and flower girl siya)




(the wedding cake and the catering service are my least concerns because i have a small catering business myself..)

anyone kind enough to give me an idea on how much would i spell out for the ff:



flower entourage for the church?

photography/video service?

wedding singer?

wedding ring?

bridal gown?

groom suit?

gowns and suits of the entourage,ring bearers,flower girls? (we have to shell out for them right?)

*pardon me, im really clueless with all these entourages and stuff


ps. our prospected venue would be on a avida clubhouse garden poolside type location




please! any help would be gladly appreciated!

^wala talagang defined budget ang dapat mong tanungin ay ang sarili mo, how much I am willing to spend on these... set mo ang iyong budget and work from there...

and since catering na ang business mo, i think its about time na mag expand ka, get contacts for flower suppliers, photography service, etc tapos i-offer mo na rin yan sa clients mo as package...

when I got married, kami mismo nag hanap ng supplier kaya prices really vary and theres no limit to it,depende na lang sa kayang mong pakawalan na pera dun na lang magkakatalo yun

anyway share ko na lang yung experience ko para mag ka idea ka
