Having a clear idea of your budget is essential. The first thing you should do is sit down together or with both sets of parents and work out how much your wedding is likely to cost. Enter the estimated and final figures in our interactive budget planner (as a guide we have listed the average prices paid by Brides readers) to calculate your total costs. We will do the maths and you can even save your entry, so all you have to do is revise the costs as you go, to make sure you don't spend any more than you planned.
