subscribe to this channel if you're not
yet subscribed and let's get started
step number one you have to get a
wedding checklist the wedding checklist
is you envisioning your wedding day and
putting it in writing what i mean by
this is everything you want to play out
on that day from your clothes to your
venue to your deco just jut each and
every item out so at the end of this
video i'll put up my wedding checklist
so that you can get an idea of what it
looks like and create yours from it
english step number two you need to have
a budget i know some patients are like
oh no you can't get a budget when you
don't know how much things are what in
the market but then the things in the
market they are not always fixed you can
gain a cup of teas for 250 000 you can
me properties of fifty thousand you can
get the comparison of fifteen thousand
so if you go to the market first you may
end up
comparing a list
of a budget that you would not be able
to afford so the first thing you need to
do is to tell yourself okay for this
wedding my budget is 500 000. for this
wedding my budget is 1 million so
whatever your budget is now when you're
looking out for things in the market you
go with a condition that it should be
within the budget you had in mind for
the wedding you cannot have a budget of
500 500 000 and you want to use a gun of
250 000.
[Music]
one tip about creating a budget is
please don't spend your life savings on
wedding you're going to be broke and
you're going to suffer after the
marriage tip number two don't get alone
to get married wedding is not a business
venture it's not going to need any
interest don't even say ah they're going
to spray me money you you're going to be
very disappointed i hear of some persons
four years three years after marriage
you're still paying the loan for
expenses you cure during your marriage
like who does such a thing step number
three you need to find your vendors and
the prices of things in the market how
you do this is one you can do this by
going to the market for market survey
two you can check on social media we
have instagram to help us now we have
pinterest just check there you see so
many vendors on things and three which
is the most important you can ask your
family and friends you've gone to your
friend's wedding you liked the makeup
party so you like the photographer you
can call her and be like please was the
name of this person that is for you can
i get a contact how much did the person
charge and it's even better when you get
somebody that someone has used and
you've seen the work you can rely on
their services more than someone you
just met online i'm not saying the ones
online cannot deliver but sometimes when
they know that you were referred by
someone it puts them on their toes
by you whenever you're finding your
vendor a very important tip is you know
your new budget your taste has to be
within your budget and see i know you
have this some of you be like ah i have
this i know how i want my wedding to
look like i know the kind of gown i want
to use i know the kind of makeup i want
to have on but you only budget for five
hundred thousand sister you only bought
it for five hundred thousand you want to
use a gown of 300k the makeup artist you
want to use is 150 000 and the hair you
intend to wear that is 100 000 tell me
how you want to do it
just
tell me how you're about to achieve such
thing with such a tight budget so
whatever
taste you have just know that when
you're on a very tight budget some of
the things you like you have to like
step down a bit to accommodate your
budget you can't be on the 500k budget
and everything you want to use is from
the celebrity the photographer is
celebrating you that's what you want to
use
but your budget is not celebrating
budget-like
[Laughter]
[Applause]
us
apologize i'm continue step number four
you need to cut out essences for
instance bryce mead it is not a
necessity that you must carry bright
smith especially if you don't have close
friends that can be all out for you that
can pull their shoes put their heels and
get things done you don't need anybody
that'll be giving your attitude that
deal you know that some brightness they
are shy more than you the bride you'll
be begging them please dance now it's
your wedding day but they are the ones
giving attitude that it was being shy
historically to have such persons as
your bright smith it's better for you to
go on your own and vibe by yourself
and even if you must carry a shipping
gift you don't have to have 100 of them
you don't have to have 50 of them you
can just go with yourself and the person
that will be holding your gun for you is
very perfect
so just check out your list do i need
reception gun some persons are like ah i
must change into reception gun and one
thing about reception gun if you know
your wedding gun is class you're going
to go from classy to trashy please don't
do it because i see that a lot a whole
lot of bride you see them in their
bridal and there is this thing
about your wedding gown gives this glory
this beauty and everything you see so
many brides the wedding gown will be top
notch but because what's trending is
reception gum they will rent a gown that
is
nowhere compared to what they were
initially so why don't you wear your
wedding gown or true myself for instance
i didn't pick a reception what i did
that days i had my traditional marriage
first outfit i just kept it in case
my white wedding down becomes too
uncomfortable i can just change into it
and some things happen and i actually
had to change but i don't think anybody
realized and even if they do are they
going to beat me i'd be half marriage am
i not married
i've married my married
i did not kill anybody and lucky myself
at the end of the day i slept well and
i'm getting fat because i know i'm not
owing anybody any money you must not
have preventing photoshoot some banners
don't have pictures of the people they
don't they just have the names and
design because some of these people that
you go to their pages and you see when
it's looking all glamorous and these and
that some of them are free items that
people made for them to support their
day but you you want to incorporate
every single thing and you don't have
help anyway and your budget is so small
i didn't have a bridal shower no one
died
i did not have a bridal shower but you
have some girls they don't have the
money for bridal shower they don't have
any sponsor anywhere but then they want
to kill themselves just because they are
going to impress people that don't even
care a week from now three weeks from
now they call one or two of your friends
and ask them what's the color of the
show i wore for my trap day they will
not remember
nobody cares about so many things like
you're putting so much importance on you
cannot afford cake for the thread you
cut it out
and while you're cutting these excesses
don't let
people's opinion get to you don't let
people pressure you in as much as it's
okay to seek opinion but know when some
persons are trying to infuse their own
dreams into your wedding day what do i
mean you may tell somebody oh i'm not
doing this i'll be like i'm married why
would you not do this now everybody else
is doing it everybody else is doing it
doesn't mean you do it when it gets to
their own let them do it or if they are
already married they can remarry and do
it just try as much as possible
to do the things you want or know the
ones you don't want and the ones that
are not so necessary and cuts them out
vendors can also pressure you i remember
when i was going to check out my vendors
so many of them when i get to the shop
you'll be like okay i want something
within this range they will start
showing you the ones that are beyond
that range i want the gun of you're
showing me a gun of 90 100 120 auntie i
don't want a gun of 90k the next thing
you hear is ah
is once in a lifetime
spend these moneys once in a lifetime oh
yeah so because it's once in a lifetime
i should go broke you have the money you
go all out for it when you don't have
the money don't let is either friends
family members or even your vendors to
pressure into things you don't want for
instance i remember when i went back
with my gun the first gown i picked i
didn't like it so since i have committed
her it only meant i would choose
whatever i'm choosing from her store so
i went back to when i'm like this girl i
took it because i was under pressure
that day i was not really feeling this
guy i want something else she started
showing me gowns that were beyond this
previous game that i have paid back
payment for i'm like no i still need
something within this budget and finally
i got something that was the same price
with the previous thing i had i didn't
have to put any money on the wedding day
when they put up the fireworks i don't
know how it happened but my wedding gown
got bored i'll put a picture of that in
this video it got burnt and i had to pay
for damages imagine if i had exceeded my
budget as at that time a gun of 50k and
i left it to take a gun of 100 000. do
you think the amount of pay for damages
for a gun or 50k will be the amount of
people damages for a gun of 100k
definitely not so whenever you're just
going to cut out excesses just try and
defend your decision don't let people
pressure you into like why would you not
do this why would you know where this
nobody really cares after that day it's
all gone and that's that's me the fifth
and final step is to have a payment plan
how do you plan to pay these vendors do
you plan on paying them instrumentally
or do you plan on paying outright one
thing i would advise you to do is to be
very detailed and documented whenever
you're paying people so that you don't
have people say you pay them lesser than
you did or you don't have to confuse a
particular payment for another payment
another tip is we draw the money a day
or two before that day give it to
someone and give the person the list of
the balances of these people so as the
makeup artist is done with her work
she's receiving her balance and this
person is done with the work the person
is just at the end of that the night of
your wedding you know you're not owing
nobody anything another tip you should
note is you should set a reminder to
call your vendors
and remind them of your date
because sometimes these people can be
very busy and can be very fun
[Music]
hello catra hello madam have you got
into the venue with the food ah
