It’s easy to overspend, but keep your budget in mind and create a budget planner so you can cut back on things when you realise you are going over budget so it’s not too late! You may think it’s the decor, wedding outfits and the additional extras like a photographer that will take you over budget but it’s more than likely the number of people you have on your guest list. If you add people to your guest list, make sure you’re adding that into the budget to help you keep to budget as much as possible!

The Outfit

An Asian wedding is known for its gorgeous and detailed wedding dress. Both bride and groom will have a few outfits spaced out before their big day. Practice walking in your wedding outfits and practice walking in your wedding shoes. If you’re planning a traditional Sikh wedding your ceremony will be held at a Gurudwara, practice sitting on the floor with your legs in a basket for a few hours this will help on the day.
