The more you see Pinterest, Instagram the more ideas you get for your wedding. Perhaps flowery wedding is one of your style or some entertainments during your dinner. Here's the thing: All that style gets really, really expensive. OOPPPPPPPPPSSSS........... extra budget for that if you wish to make them come true. To help couples in the middle of the planning process, we put some comprehensive list of experience-driven advice and practical tips that will help you save money on your wedding.

Step 1: Count Your Cash

This isn't as simple as checking your bank account. Ideally, you and your partner each have three months of living expenses set aside in case of a job loss or emergency situation.

Step 2: Set The Budget

After you known the money you have, you set the budget for the wedding. Start imagine what kind of ceremony do you want. If only for ceremony you won't spend so much compare to ceremony with dinner. When couples are creating a wedding budget, we strongly suggest a buffer, or "emergency fund" of 10-20% of the total budget. Anything can happen, right? The guest count could increase, perhaps at the last minute the couple decides to increase their photography timing from 6 to 10 hours, or maybe they've decided to add horns and strings to their band experience. Perhaps they wish to do make up trial or suddenly want to have additional souvenir for the guest due to weather

Step 3: Prepare for Surprises

By setting aside the 'emergency fund' at the onset of the planning process, couples are better able to navigate unexpected costs or any must-have add-ons without experiencing additional stress. These common line items are the ones couples most often to forget to factor into the total budget :

1. Vendor transportation
2. Vendors meal
3. Additional bar tab
4. Nanny service
