Don’t Forget about These Unexpected Wedding Costs

Unexpected Wedding Costs

Planning your wedding budget may not be the most entertaining part of it all – but it is something you should absolutely not skip. Otherwise, you may end up spending a lot more than your pocket actually allows for –and that’s not a good way to start your marriage.

What are some of the wedding costs that tend to be forgotten by couples? We have some tips for you – so read on if you want to make sure you are really well-prepared.

·       Beauty treatments. You want your hair and skin to look flawless for the Big Day – and that means you will have to attend at least a few sessions with your skin care and hair care specialists. Consequently, it also means you will have to spend extra money for these services – so if you are not already considering it, make sure to add this expense to your wedding budget too.

·       The “Getting Ready” part. Sweet shirts for you and your bridesmaids, a healthy, delicious, and nutritious breakfast, flowers – costs can easily add up on the morning of your wedding. Remember to add them to your budget when you start planning the Big Day!

·       All the wedding dress “extras”. Undergarments, accessories, shoes, and, of course, alterations – they are all crucial for a bride who wants to look picture-perfect on her wedding day. They never come for free, though, so it is really important to add these as wedding expenses as well.
