Full breakdown of our 137-guest wedding budget last June! Pics in stories!! Given that my @monsyay just recent got engaged, I wanted to share our budget bc saving and paying for a wedding cash is no joke. I don’t know who needs to see this but you CAN save up for your wedding and pay for it yourselves!! . . . Tip 1) Save on your venue!!! Book a venue that allows outside vendors- can’t stress this enough!... Tip 2) Get creative with your DIYing ... seriously! It might take you some extra time but it’s so worth it Tip 3) Use websites like @gigsalad or @thumbtack to save so much on all your vendors! Tip 4) Consider non traditional but awesome ideas! We had our favorite food trucks vs a regular caterer. You will not regret this one! We also had a honeymoon fund vs a traditional registry. Tip 5) Rent or buy secondhand!! Oh my word am I so grateful for our rental items gal @rent_a_party bc she had everything at literally 1/10 of the cost! That’s not a typo! Anyway, saving for our wedding was probably one of the hardest things ever but waking up to $0 debt the following morning is indescribable!! We were so grateful that our in laws who paid for our rehearsal lunch, my parents who helped as much as possible the days leading up to the wedding, and we also got a lot of cash the day of our wedding bc we opted for a honeymoon fund vs a registry so we had a really awesome @besteuropean honeymoon I absolutely loved our wedding and even though it was a lot of hard work, I wouldn’t trade it for anything!! #weddingbudget #weddingphotography #sacramentowedding #ballingonabudget #weddingplanning #budgetingtips #dreamweddings #budgetwedding #weddingphotos @ Sacramento, California

Wake up, slay and make ish happen today!!!!!! The only way to make your goals a reality is to RIGHT THEM DOWN, PRAY and LASER FOCUS is on them daily. That is my biggest tip for money goals but also for your life and business goals. Anything I don’t write down, doesn’t happen, but watch out cause when I write down my goals, pray about them and I’m focused... #fridaymood #fridaymotivation #bossbabequotes #slayallday #ceomindset
