The wedding budget is an often dreaded topic of conversation, but because it’s also an extremely necessary one—your entire celebration basically revolves around that magic number, after all—we like to offer as much support on the subject as we can. (Just take a quick glance below.)

And since actually starting the whole process can be just a bit intimidating, we’re happy to share our latest finding, which tackles the basic steps that go into creating your Big Day budget.
