Gas prices rising, record high inflation, international conflict… planning a wedding during a looming recession can seem impossible. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to maximize your wedding budget and plan for the most authentic wedding of your dreams.

 

1. The best way to recession-proof your wedding is to have a plan.

3. Your budget is your budget.

 

Don’t fall into Pinterest FOMO or look at the so-called “industry averages” for the amount of money people supposedly spend on weddings. Be true to you and your realistic budget. Once you’ve set your budget, it’s all about the planning to make it work.

Consider some of these budget-friendly choices when planning your wedding:

  • Choose an off-season month, day of week, or time of day (brunch, anyone?)

  • Host an intimate wedding or elope with your closest loved ones. Plan your intimate wedding for as little as $1,000!

  • Tackle some DIY projects for your decor, floral arrangements, and invitations with the help of your friends and family. You’ll save money, and the memories you’ll make while making these will be priceless – talk about a win-win!
