hi i'm zenobia davis i'm from
blue olive events and today we're going to take you through
a wedding budget of 50 000 rand so if you're having a wedding of 50 000 rand i
think the biggest factor that you're going to have to take into consideration is your guest count
because you need to look at things such as venueu hire catering your photographer your videographer
if you're going to have one are you going to have a dj we've put together a pie chart for you
which will help you understand uh what elements you can spend your budget on so percentage-wise if
you're looking at 40 percent of 50 000 rand that will give you 20 000 rand to spend on catering
and venue hire for photography and videography if you're looking at 11 that will give you five and a
half thousand rand to spend on them and um attire if you're looking at ten percents you're looking
at five thousand rand to spend on your attire which would be more beneficial to to hire than
to buy so with uh your dj which we allocated seven percent uh towards that you're looking at
three and a half thousand rand to spend for a dj decoe and florals we put at ten percent which
is five thousand to spend on decor and florals and then hair and makeup which is at five
percent which is two and a half thousand and for yourself so when looking at your marriage
officer you're looking at two point five percent of your budget which is one 1250 that you
can look at spending on your marriage officer um coordinator for the day we're looking at
10 percent for your coordinator which is 5 000 of your budget and then stationary we said between
three and five percent so you're looking at uh 1 250 to spend minimum on on your stationary
and then your favours um you could spend 250 or you could diy so my top tips for working
out your budget is first is to sit down with your fiance and come up with a number that you are
both comfortable with spending secondly take that number and prioritise what's important to
you guys is venue important is catering more important or is the photographer more important
also when budgeting remember that the more guests you have the more you have to spend and then also
consider how important decor and florals is to you so florals are expensive so it would be
advisable just to add a bit more budget to your decor and flowers and then also look at including
a planner for for yourselves i really hope this video is helpful to you guys if you'd like to
