Take a planner and on the first page write down everything that you will need , for your dream wedding. For example the florist, photographer ,cake, reception sites, wedding consultant, ceremony and any other vendors. Now after you have put down everything that you will need for your dream wedding on the next page title that page your realistic wedding. Now on the realistic wedding page list everything that you will need and the amounts for each. For example start with the florist and put down the cost of the floral centerpieces, bouquet etc .Now this is for the realistic wedding only. Remember the first page is your dream wedding. Also for the realistic wedding make a list of the amount money needed to feed your guests. When you are finished and after you have done your homework and compared the dream wedding verses the realistic wedding you will then have a realistic budget for your entire wedding.
