SOUTH CAROLINA WEDDING BUDGET PLANNER

Before planning your South Carolina wedding, know how much you can spend and what you would like to spend it on. As a guideline, allot approximately 50% of your budget to the wedding reception. Then allot about 10% each to flowers, photography, wedding attire, and music. The last 10% goes to wedding stationery, favors, and other elements.
