Hosted by Rosana of Shotwell Productions, Episode 14 of Real Brides features Rebecca breaking down how she built—and stuck to—a realistic wedding budget. She explains how a two-year engagement helped them save, why touring venues via bridal expos clarified costs, and how choosing The Tides for its inclusive packages (open bar, cocktail hour, maître d’) simplified planning. She also flags easy-to-miss expenses like taxes, service fees, transportation, and how date/season choices affect pricing.
Rebecca’s “big three” priorities were venue, photography/videography, and music, with smart tradeoffs on florals (including considering faux options). Her practical tips: open a dedicated wedding account, use extra income strategically, build a detailed timeline with your photo/video team, and lean on on-site services to reduce stress. Binder-level organization plus clear priorities = the day you want without blowing the budget.
