How to Breakdown a $25,000 Wedding Budget | What $25K Actually Gets You

How To Get the Most Out of Your Wedding Budget | Wedding Budget Breakdown | Calculate Your Wedding Budget
Everyone completely BLOWS their wedding budget - at least everyone I’ve talked to about it. We are talking doubling or tripling their original budget. What is up with that?! In this video, I will walk you through the best way to breakdown a $25,000 wedding budget by category - how much to spend on your wedding venue, dress, catering, floral, decor etc. I also share what type of vendors you can expect to book with this budget.
So many people just ignore the wedding budget because it stresses them out, but I promise you that is going to make it SO MUCH WORSE. Use my worksheet as a guide to breakdown your budget - make adjustments as you see fit, then track your budget and stick to it. You should be checking in with your budget at least once per month, and every single time you are about to book a vendor.

Definitely set a 20,000 budget before hand! My venue is all inclusive (tables, linens, lighting,food and basic wine) with our guest count it comes out to 10k, but we also cut back on a lot of things. No expensive transportation, no expensive rehearsal dinner, probably no favors etc

[@CityGirl33]

How many people did you do ?

My wedding is coming up this December and I have booked everything, however I know there is certain things that I know I should have budgeted more on, but I was told that because it’s “short notice/not many months left” before my wedding, we freaked out and booked everything in 2 weeks. I live in CA (Glendale to be exact) and it’s bit pricey out here. I went to several venues and shockingly I booked a venue I never thought I could afford but it was the cheapest one out of many that I looked at. Anyhow, I did stick to my budget on my dress, makeup, and flowers. One thing I wanted to just suggest that maybe not many brides thought of, I am middle eastern and our traditional “bar/alcohol” set up is 1 bottle of wine, 2 choices of hard liquor per table and soft drinks that came with venue. That gives everyone an option and it’s not as hard on our pockets. I have 250 people attending and 22 tables at the venue, our pricing total for alcohol (wholesale) came to $2,300. Just a suggestion for brides who might be struggling to fit into their budget. Hope it helps! 😀

[@Sweetdiss59]

Can I ask the name of the venue in Glendale you found? I live in the valley too and it’s so hard to find affordable venues with good alcohol options. Much appreciated 🙏🏼

Every engaged couple needs to watch this before planning anything! I have a $30k budget and yes, it's a lot of money that goes by quickly if you're not paying attention. I was lucky to have found a sample wedding gown that I loved that didn't need much alterations. Venue was a place my fiance and I LOVED and thankfully was within our budget. Those little choices help a lot.

[@CityGirl33]

How many guests ?

[@brendamoreno4920]

Thank you so much for your time. This gave me a wide idea exactly on how to budget mine. Hugs and kisses 💕

[@UncommonCamellia]

Love the idea of focusing on the sweetheart and head tables! Great tip ❤️ just subscribed.

[@TheUnveiledBride]

So happy to have you!!! Let me know if you have anything specific you would like to see a video on or if you have any questions I can help you with 😊

[@Helennnnnnn____]

Omg this video was EVERYTHING!!! I was definitely going to go out of budget 😫😫

[@TheUnveiledBride]

Just pick a realistic budget from the beginning and be sure you track and adjust as you go! Then at least you won’t go over budget too bad 😉

[@ebatdorf9991]

17:15 omg, I'm such a dork. I kept imagining 100 guests =100 invites. 😅 Of course, my friends' children don't need separate invites. Loving this advice!

[@Jessicapinkrose06]

I paid $12,000 for our venue and it was actually one of the cheaper ones. Everything else was like $20,000 😓 our wedding is not until next fall in 2023 so here I am hoping I can pull off our $25,000 budget (for 170 people, I have a big family)🤯 everything is so overly priced in Sacramento area. I love watching your videos, they are so helpful!

[@TheUnveiledBride]

California weddings are super expensive, staying in budget is extra challenging here! I’m happy my videos have been helpful 💕

[@CityGirl33]

Trying to calculate for 175-200

[@twin94girl]

Can you make an update budget breakdown with inflation accounted for?

[@BlikkieSop]

I saw it on TV can you please help me to apply for the 25k

[@dhx9991]

Please do a part two with all this plus picture/vid examples

[@nancyperez5480]

Loved this video!

[@Dreamlove336]

I’m having a $10k budget wedding & it’s coming w everything including videographer/photographer, catering, etc DIY everything.. I’d never spend $15k+ on a wedding.. more on a house

[@smadden3933]

Yes we paid $12k for wedding, honeymoon, & rings.

[@Dreamlove336]

@@smadden3933 that’s actually not too bad

[@organizedchaos4559]

So how much do people actually spend on their wedding?

[@luxxi5549]

Love the video wish you would include picutre examples.

[@TheUnveiledBride]

I will definitely do that in my next one! Thanks for the feedback 💕

[@kay7130]

It’s so crazy to think of how quickly $25,000 disappears!

[@TheUnveiledBride]

Right?!?! 🤯 It is so crazy!

[@CityGirl33]

Just awful 😞

[@bayleivorce4210]

Could you possibly link the companies for flowers? Love this video!

[@TheUnveiledBride]

Hey Baylei! My 2 favs that I have used are Bloominous.com and Bouqs.com 💐

[@MK-oe5md]

QUESTION: Is this 25,000 dollars US?

[@colettegibbons3587]

This video is great. However, it doesn't really account for the number of guest attending the wedding. With this $25,000 wedding budget, what is your approximate guest count?

[@TheUnveiledBride]

Hey Colette! I am assuming the average headcount of 150! But you could adjust to any headcount, you would just need to increase or decrease your per person catering, bar, rentals etc.

[@jfloresdrums]

$4k wedding venue? Sheesh where? LA venues are about $7-10k

[@rospez1763]

How many guests does this cover?

[@CityGirl33]

? I’m wondering

[@monir5466]

25k is how much my college degree costed me 😢lol

[@lorenavilla6703]

same here! planning a wedding for next Sept in Florida, and my sister told me to set budget at $26k - $25k; if we get to spend less than this, I'd be static

[@josie6311]
