💍 Wedding Budget Advice: How to Plan Your Dream Wedding on Any Budget
Planning a wedding doesn’t have to cost a fortune 💸. Whether you’re organising a small, intimate gathering or a full weekend celebration, it’s possible to create your dream wedding without compromising on quality.
At Logie Country House, we believe every couple deserves a beautiful, memorable celebration — whatever their budget. In this guide, we share expert advice, practical tips, and real examples from couples who celebrated their day at Logie with £10k, £15k and £20k budgets.
🎯 How to Plan a Wedding on a Budget
Planning a wedding on a budget can feel daunting, but a clear plan makes all the difference. Here are some tried-and-tested ways to stay on track:
1️⃣ Set Clear Priorities
Decide what matters most — the venue, food, photography, or entertainment. Spend wisely on what means the most to you.
2️⃣ Keep the Guest List Intimate
Fewer guests means lower catering and seating costs, but a more personal atmosphere.
3️⃣ Choose Off-Peak or Mid-Week Dates
Getting married during the off-season or on a weekday can save thousands on venue hire.
4️⃣ Embrace DIY Touches
Handmade décor, stationery, or favours add personality while saving money.
