A great hack is finding a venue that is all inclusive, found a venue which included the food, open bar drinks, all the tables linens, chairs, flowers, cake, dj, all in the price of the venue, cut out most outside vendors and the price was reasonable per person 💙
Also don't forget to plan your Wedding rings (wedding bands) into your budget :D I work in that industry and it is something many people forget/look way too late into. And in the end the rings, along with the pictures and memories, are the things that last after the wedding day is over!
Just realised I can't afford a youtuber wedding so why am I watching advice from youtubers. I will say though I watched your first part about venue, I disagree I think your very first step is your budget.
@@geordiestocker I just want dates and venues that I know won't cost me too much.. there are so many places to choose from. Make your list and rule them out..
@@s.stewart8113 yes definitely!! I managed to find a gorgeous venue through people we know so we've saved money there, but once you put wedding on anything everything gets expensive haha
@@geordiestocker I can't handle the idea of an expensive wedding. If my pocket starts choking just with the budget plan alone.. it's time to make some changes. Everyone can have their dream wedding without costing 16 arms and 40 legs. Persons really have to remember even though you want it to be the wedding you still dream about even after 50 years, you won't remember every single detail. Also.. the wedding is just for one day..
If Sharrah and her mom create that wedding planning book, I am going to be the first one to buy it. As a little girl, would always fantasize on my wedding day. I still do. I have my pinterest board full of stuff like pictures, important list people have made (which are very helpful). I can't wait until my boyfriend decides to purpose. My wedding has to be as perfect as yours Sharrah. Thank you for this video. You always have great content!!
3 years after you post this. Im newly engaged (not even a week has passed) we aren't planning anything yet, but still really helpful in terms of tips and how-to. Never thought I'd be one to be on the wedding side of UA-cam. Lol
I remember watching your engagement video, then all the wedding planning, I was so excited waiting to see your wedding video, I almost felt like I was part of the wedding. It was such a beautiful day, and I know 95% of that was down to the planning, (5% goes to the weather, you can't book that lol) ....... Congratulations to any bride or groom watching, I hope your wedding is the most beautiful day of your lives xxxxxxxx
Elaine Howard What a lovely comment to post. Thank you for putting something positive in the comments section since all too often people can be just downright nasty to both the UA-camr and other viewers. My best to you and yours always!
Amazing wedding! But what is more amazing are the souls of these Two. So blessed to have watched your story and your love for Jesus is what makes you extraordinary. All the best!
Oh Sharrah, I just watched your Wedding Wednesday series and oh my goodness that was so very good !!!! I cried, I laughed, I watched with envy(then I had to repent)...lol, I enjoyed watching you and your mom whom I just adore. You two had me laughing so hard!!! I didn't realize just how funny you are, but you get it honestly!!! You are so beautiful inside and out. What a gift to mankind you have been. I am blessed to have come to discover your channel. Both you and your mother have blessed my soul over the years and I am a better person from watching your videos. I am so so glad that you are also a sister in Christ and that is the icing on the cake. I have enjoyed watching you grow over the years, seeing you become a mother of 2 beautiful boys and a wife to Tyler, a God-fearing man! What a gift you guys are to one another. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for you this year 2024. May God continue to keep you, protect you, and bless you as you continue to live out loud for Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour!! Love you guys❤
totally... I realized part way through this was for a budget much larger than mine so I just shut it off. Fiance and I are doing ok for money, but we're also not getting a lot of help, and we just really aren't willing to go into massive debt for a one day party. So we're doing the opposite of a lot of this advice, asking questions like "are we doing this because we want to or because we're 'supposed' to?" That filter alone has helped us refine things down to the things that we think will matter. We're also DIY-ing a LOT.. luckily we're fairly capable jack-of-all trades folks... even given all that, the budget is more than we feel super comfortable with but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway fingers crossed it all works out! (and doesn't rain!)
Jen Morgan I’ve picked wildflowers & dried them into arrangements for centrepieces that I made out of jam jars & book pages, for free. I don’t have a photographer or videographer as we all have phones to capture funny moments of the day. I have cut out at least £2000 due to DIY work, which had literally taken me no time at all. Even handmade all my invites on my Mac & used old craft paper I already had to print them up for free at work. I have only spent on venue (which includes all my food/drink), my dress, his suit. We’re both having men stand with us (groomsmen & bridesmen) so they’re all wearing their own suits. My entertainment are all mates from my music uni course, so that was super cheap too. You can do a cheap wedding. It might not adhere to these conventions but who cares...it’s about a marriage after a day. Spend less than £10000 & still have a great time. Houses & pets & family...they’re the things you’ll need money for xxx
I randomly clicked on this video only to discover that you got married in San Diego which is where I am. I will definitely be going back and watching your other videos now since there’s something really awesome about watching content filmed where you live and are getting married. Hope L.A. is treating you and yours well these days :-)
If I loved your UA-cam channel before I love you even more now, my daughter just got engaged and they get married may of 2020, your tips have got me so excited when I felt so nervous before. Thank you so much for always making sure you help out as much as you can 😘👍
Think of a Christmas wedding. Our church and hotel were already decorated for free. We used a local florist who didn't overcharge for the few flowers we did use. Go to wedding shows/events. I won a five hundred dollar gift card to a fancy bridal shop, tuxedo rentals, limo, centerpieces, and cookware. It was so worth it. I made labels and went around to all of the booths. Just a thought. Congrats.
Please do a video about being a maid of honor for the first time! My friend asked me to be her maid of honor and I have never even been apart of a wedding party before! I've only ever been the flower girl and I don't even remember it!
I’ve just started watching wedding planning videos and yours has the best tips and actual useful info! Thank you for using budget friendly wording. One of my biggest fears is how much the wedding planner will cost
caresssa t A full-service wedding planner usually starts around $5,000! There are other options, like month-of coordination which is much cheaper. I have a video going up on this tomorrow 💕
And what about small weddings? I'm having 15 to 20 people max and it seems to me like we don't need a wedding planner, BUT having a small wedding raises another questions, like - some venues don't wanna do so small wedding, or wanna charge more, because their capacity is way bigger, and the wedding planner will cost us half the wedding - is it worth it? And about non traditional weddings - we don't really want DJ or a band, but how to have music instead? And how to make it easy for all ages - since we wanna have a small thing, kinda like a polaroid guest book or something, but our grandparents have never seen polaroids - do we get someone to show them or leave them out of it? There's so much in a small wedding too...
I think for you music you could see if you wanna invest in (or if one of your guests have something you can borrow) a really good quality bluetooth speaker. You can make a playlist on your phone or some device and play it on speaker. Not just any random one, but a really good quality one. We have a Harman/Kardon bluetooth speaker that has great sound quality and is super loud! Hope that helps :)
A bed and breakfast locally is actually a great option for you for an indoor/outdoor wedding. My friend did that she got married around a little after noon after at a bed and breakfast and they let her n the groom rent their best room. They were able to work out a good deal since that location is too small for most weddings. But find a small local place like that can usually fit a party your size and they will even let outta town guest stay there. hope that helps. Plus they typically will let you DIY or figure out what you do and dont need things bigger venues may not let you do. As i have a small wedding too and i am looking into that and few places have been eager and nice about it! Congrats as well!
@@toocutenoirb.4278 That's actually a great idea, I haven't thought about it! Thank you so much, that is really clever and so helpful! Congrats to you as well!!!
Im planning on using potted plants as wedding favors, that way people can take a couple with them and you dont end up killing flowers, but i absolutely hate weddings cuz of so many flowers being killed for just one day (i know, stupid, cause we shower these days) so use succulents or plants to save the planet and replant them or re-use them whenever you can!
I'm getting married in a month and 4 days and wedding photographer was on the top of my list I wanted to be able to show my kids and then and just to be able to watch it over and over again a photo is nice but a video is always that much better I have videos of me as a kid and I always look back at it and over photos and think videos make everything so much more special in years to come
We’re not using a florist or a catering service,my moms making a buffet style food so we can set it up and the leave it so she can still enjoy the day. A big part of our budget is our photographer and videographer and our venue, we are using a coordinator (and her staff) so our families and us don’t have to worry about set up and take down so we can enjoy the day. I just can’t justify spending so much money on thing we can easily do.
"If you can afford it..." no, no I cannot afford all these options. It changes completely your wedding planning process when you are tight on your budget. This video has some great ideas nonetheless but does not exactly cater for a budget bride.
I'm obsessed with your sweater, where did you get that?? Not sure if it would look as good on a brunette. I have SIX MONTHS TO GO!!! Thank you for all these wonderful tips!
Great tips Sharrah!!! My son and daughter-in-law got married last July, and this brought back some memories ☺️. Btw, that color looks fantastic on you! 😉
I got engaged in February of 2020 and we are looking at September 4th 2021 to get married all the planning we have to do the stress I would have to go through when items on such a low budget
About the music, I went to wedding and the music/sound system something went wrong and the bride had to walk down the aisle without music. It was the saddest thing. It was so wierd because it was at a church where they always use the sound system. So wierd and also so heartbreaking.
I'm getting married oct 26th 2019, and I just started seriously planning last month. I'm freaking out. I'm a procrastinator and I have no ones help besides my mom who works 6-7 days a week and my moh live in utah
Something guests will appreciate if having to stay at a hotel is you call hotels and get them to block rooms at a discounted price. My wedding is remote in the mountains and we're all flying in from across the country. We'll have to stay at Lodge. The discount on our rooms is about $100 off a night. Helped my guests decide to attend. It's a small wedding, we're going to be 16 people in total. Definitely worth asking, even if they can only shave off $20, it helps.
I have utilized the FAQs on my Zola wedding page, but I also plan to just be straight forward and call each person and just tell them. Honesty is key. Here is an insert of my Question/Answer on Zola! *QUESTION:* Am I able to use my own phone or other device to take photos/videos during the ceremony? *ANSWER:* Out of respect to our photographer and their work, we ask that guests do not take photos or use any devices during the ceremony. We will be more than happy to share any and all of our photos with you when they are ready. Please use this time to be completely in the moment with us and enjoy the experience.
So helpful me and my boyfriend was looking at rings last night and we have been talking about getting married for a long time and recently he’s talked about it more and more! Definitely keeping this video on my list so I have something to look back on for tips!
Does anyone know who is the designer of the second wedding dress Sharrah tries on is? It's the one with the sparkly bodice. 😍 I know it was 5 years ago and probably isn't available anymore but it's exactly what I was looking for, it's stunning. If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it.
Who wants their wedding planning checklist freebie!? Head to my blog to snag yours: bit.ly/2O4CUqz 😘 And don't forget I'll be answering more questions over on my Instagram right now (@sharrahstevens)! Thanks for watching loves!
Hey...A thumbs up from me!!! What an awesome video. Highly recommended to watch. You have covered a lot that I did not even think or know about. Thank You
Im getting married august 2019, i am ecstatic about the whole event. My fiance is an audio engineer and we had the choice of doing a live band or DJ. Even though we really REALLY wanted a band we went with a DJ. My family is hispanic and his is american/middle eastern. For my family we really need salsa/bachata,regge music and the majority of the bands we know in SC only do english. But hey its not super bad since we'll have a set up done fit for any music festival haha
I think it is nice that the bride an d groom put their stamp on THEIR special day. No matter what rules exist it is the b and g day. I mean black balloons outdoors in a garden setting usually dont look great and honestly are a bit harsh but it is what Sharrah wants Not sure what makes this lady a specialists in wedding other than she is sharing her wedding experience and she has some decor background - though I don't know if she is formally trained or through her mother. Regardless I am glad she had a happy day. I do wonder about costs though.
Great advice, thank you. I would love to know where you got your copper mugs from that you had in the signature drink segment. My son wants them at his wedding soon too.
Great tips! Im having a beach wedding and trying to plan it on my own. I plan to purchase a wedding package that includes most things such as decor, officiant, and 1 hr photography..just wish I could find a cheap videography in the destin fl area :-( Any ideas for beach weddings on a budget ....I plan to just have food and drinks on the beach as a reception and music thru bluetooth speaker
All the Venues I’m looking at for my wedding have a wedding coordinator so I’m not really worrying about that and with planning me and my sister she’s my maid of honor are planning everything together so it keeps a lot of the stress off of me and plus I’m really excited about it so all I wanna do is focus on the wedding but I don’t wanna get to stressed so every other month we focus on certain parts of the wedding and now it’s almost planned and the wedding day is a few months away
Recorded music can glitch….and Live musicians can mess up too…lol Both options come with their own risks. I don’t think live music is guaranteed perfection, even though it’s nice if one can afford it. But really there is nothing wrong with prerecorded music, at least you wont have to worry about Uncle Larry forgetting how to play Canon in D, or busted cello string.
Yes, lets not forget, bands can cost more because you are paying more people (plus tips for each member and roadie), they take breaks so the dance floor is empty at times (not so with a good DJ), professional DJ's are also your Emcees and will work with your planner and photographer to make the event the best possible.
Just had our ceremony and having the reception in 2 months. It's been really hard to find an alcohol caterer or somebody to provide it. Any idea where to search for that? Our reception is in a garden so it doesn't provide those things.
Half way through "oh this is for ppl with money"
Lol ikr
RIGHT! LOL! i was like oh she has money money
😭😭 shit I’m out then
BRO SAME 😭😭😭
Thanks for the heads up. 👍
2:10 where the topic of the the video starts. thanks for your help!!

Nice. Nerves are getting to me now. Lol I’m leaving this to my mom and dad to help me organize this. And his parents. Too overwhelming.

How much was your budget????
Raquel McBroom Hernandez she probably didn’t have one
You should totally write a wedding book. And maybe a marriage book. Oh yeah and maybe a interior decorating / organization book. All the books.
I'm so overwhelmed, in a good way of course.. but omg, there is so much I didnt think of
lol 17 and single, but I still loved this! Great tips that I'm sure I will come back to in 20 or so years haha :)

I have utilized the FAQs on my Zola wedding page, but I also plan to just be straight forward and call each person and just tell them. Honesty is key. Here is an insert of my Question/Answer on Zola!
*QUESTION:* Am I able to use my own phone or other device to take photos/videos during the ceremony?
*ANSWER:* Out of respect to our photographer and their work, we ask that guests do not take photos or use any devices during the ceremony. We will be more than happy to share any and all of our photos with you when they are ready.
Please use this time to be completely in the moment with us and enjoy the experience.
I love the silent disco idea
This is so helpful. My bff just got engaged and her wedding is 3 months away so it’s nice to have it written out
So helpful me and my boyfriend was looking at rings last night and we have been talking about getting married for a long time and recently he’s talked about it more and more! Definitely keeping this video on my list so I have something to look back on for tips!

The Unveiled Bride we are getting married this September.
Woohoo!! Congrats girl!!!
Let me know the details of your ring. I really loved it.
I'm a teen and I love wedding and watching wedding dance surprise videos 😂😂
Does anyone know who is the designer of the second wedding dress Sharrah tries on is? It's the one with the sparkly bodice. 😍 I know it was 5 years ago and probably isn't available anymore but it's exactly what I was looking for, it's stunning. If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it.

I'm literally doing everything myself for my wedding
Hey...A thumbs up from me!!! What an awesome video. Highly recommended to watch. You have covered a lot that I did not even think or know about. Thank You
This was so helpful!! Thanks so much 💕
Loved your wedding! looked so amazing! Where did you get the top you wore when you left your party?
Getting married 2022 omggggg😆
I like it.planning is important and must be made both of us.
Super helpful tips! Thank you!
Im getting married august 2019, i am ecstatic about the whole event. My fiance is an audio engineer and we had the choice of doing a live band or DJ. Even though we really REALLY wanted a band we went with a DJ. My family is hispanic and his is american/middle eastern. For my family we really need salsa/bachata,regge music and the majority of the bands we know in SC only do english. But hey its not super bad since we'll have a set up done fit for any music festival haha
Your mom is Rebecca Robeson?!?! I'm shook
A wedding photographer helps you with the poses so you do not have to think about that at all
Getting married in 2023, thanks for this ❤️
You send me Emma Roberts vibes and I am LOVING it. You are absolutely gorgeous and I love your videos. Thank you for sharing,
I think it is nice that the bride an d groom put their stamp on THEIR special day. No matter what rules exist it is the b and g day. I mean black balloons outdoors in a garden setting usually dont look great and honestly are a bit harsh but it is what Sharrah wants Not sure what makes this lady a specialists in wedding other than she is sharing her wedding experience and she has some decor background - though I don't know if she is formally trained or through her mother. Regardless I am glad she had a happy day. I do wonder about costs though.
Omg pleeeease anyone know where that jumper is from? Love love LOVE the colour!!!!
I used to love Wedding Wednesdays!!!! Maybe you and Tyler can renew your vows and we can have Wedding Wednesdays again? 🤷🏽♀️
Great advice, thank you. I would love to know where you got your copper mugs from that you had in the signature drink segment. My son wants them at his wedding soon too.
This is so helpful and well-produced. Where did you honeymoon? Thanks for sharing!!
Great tips! Im having a beach wedding and trying to plan it on my own. I plan to purchase a wedding package that includes most things such as decor, officiant, and 1 hr photography..just wish I could find a cheap videography in the destin fl area :-( Any ideas for beach weddings on a budget ....I plan to just have food and drinks on the beach as a reception and music thru bluetooth speaker
I re-watched your wedding series 💕
I love your wedding theme and ideas
Fantastic tips!
All the Venues I’m looking at for my wedding have a wedding coordinator so I’m not really worrying about that and with planning me and my sister she’s my maid of honor are planning everything together so it keeps a lot of the stress off of me and plus I’m really excited about it so all I wanna do is focus on the wedding but I don’t wanna get to stressed so every other month we focus on certain parts of the wedding and now it’s almost planned and the wedding day is a few months away
I want a summer wedding
..two to think about
Wow this helped me so much!!
*You always give amazing, actually helpful tips!
I love your voice. It reminds me of Anna Kendrick
SOOOO GOOOOD🤩🤩
I got married last July and this brought back memories! I remember watching all your wedding Wednesdays when I was engaged
March 19th 2022!!!!
Who’s getting married in 2022!?💍♥️
Recorded music can glitch….and Live musicians can mess up too…lol
Both options come with their own risks. I don’t think live music is guaranteed perfection, even though it’s nice if one can afford it.
But really there is nothing wrong with prerecorded music, at least you wont have to worry about Uncle Larry forgetting how to play Canon in D, or busted cello string.
These are great!!!
Your so wrong on the DJ vs Live entertainers. a good DJ is with out a doubt the way to go
Yes, lets not forget, bands can cost more because you are paying more people (plus tips for each member and roadie), they take breaks so the dance floor is empty at times (not so with a good DJ), professional DJ's are also your Emcees and will work with your planner and photographer to make the event the best possible.
Who's totally not getting married anytime soon and just wanna look at wedding plans.
Just had our ceremony and having the reception in 2 months. It's been really hard to find an alcohol caterer or somebody to provide it. Any idea where to search for that? Our reception is in a garden so it doesn't provide those things.
not much help but thanks Lol
What type of camera do you use? :)
