Wedding Knife Set

What percentage of your total wedding cost did you spend on your church and reception decorations and supplie:

Please include the following purchases/rentals in your percentage: Centerpieces/candles/candelabras/archways/guestbook supplies/rental cake/knife set/wine glasses/flowergirl basket/ringbearer pillow/cake topper/pew bows/pillars/unity candle holder/moneybox.

You are pretty much including everything! Lets see, my total budget was $10,000. The church was $600 and the florist total was about $1500, and that was the alter decorations and bouquets/bouts. I used my tossing bouquet and some extra flowers as my cake topper. As far as the church goes, I used the church’s candleabras and pew candle holders. That was about all the decoration in the church.

The unity candle was about $10. I used wine glasses for our toast and a knife set we already owned. But as far as the glasses for all of our guests go, that was included with the caterer. The caterer’s final cost included renting the linens, silverware, glasses, and extra tables.

For my flower girl, she made her own dress. So she used the scraps from her dress to make a purse. If not, use a basket you already have from Easter.

All those things you mentioned (knife, wine glasses, a pillow, a candle, a moneybox) are all minor minor expenses. But the reception is roughly everything left over. In my case, about $7,000. I made my own centerpieces so that is included in reception budget instead of florist budget.

I better way to figure out your budget is to expect a little over 50% for the reception costs. Close to 60% of that (or a little over 25% of your total budget) will be your caterer.

Go to www.ezweddingplanner.com. They have a great Budgeting section that you can type in your budget and it will give you approximate percentages/amounts for each part of your budget. You can also take out parts you know you won’t use.
