One of the hardest and most stressful parts of planning your wedding is staying within a budget. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, especially if you come across an unexpected cost you hadn’t considered.

To help you through this part of your wedding planning, I’ve created the Newfoundland Brides Wedding Budget Worksheet! Having an itemized list of what you’ll need to pay for, and then keeping track of the purchases you’ve made is a foolproof way of keeping you on target!

First, estimate your wedding budget, and determine exactly what you wish to spend on each aspect of your wedding. As time goes on and you start booking vendors and making deposits, you can enter your actual costs to keep track of your spending with every purchase. Having everything in one place should allow you to see where you’ve spent more than anticipated, and where you might be able to cut down on costs to reconfigure your expenses when necessary.

Keep in mind that it’s completely normal to adjust your budget more than once as you make your major wedding decisions, and determine what your must-haves are!

Stay tuned for more tools and resources to help you arrange every detail of your day!

Newfoundland Brides Welcome Image

When I began the Newfoundland Brides Facebook group in March of 2014, I never expected it to grow so big, or so quickly. Within weeks, there were over a thousand members. In the time since, we have had over 9000 members discussing everything from dress shopping, to etiquette, to budgeting, as well as using the group to find their perfect wedding professionals! So many brides have said that the group has been their most trusted resource when it comes to planning their wedding, which I couldn’t be more grateful for, or humbled by.

This website has been more than a year in the making, and I am so proud to announce it! This site aims to be your primary, all-in-one wedding resource for everything planning related!  I’ve created this website to be a compliment to the Newfoundland Brides groups, taking them to the next level!

First and foremost, the most important feature, that I couldn’t be more thrilled to announce!!

THE BLOG
The blog will serve to inspire everyone planning their wedding by featuring real Newfoundland weddings, engagements, styled shoots, and other wedding related content, while also showcasing the best work of our fabulous local wedding professionals! Each blog post will have a complete list with links for every vendor associated with that event so you can find exactly who you want to work with for your special day!

THE EVENT CALENDAR
Want to know about a sale event? A grand opening? A wedding show or other event? This calendar will be where you can find it!

FIND YOUR WEDDING PROFESSIONALS
This is NOT just a run of the mill directory site. My goal is for it to be a simple, clean, all-in-one listing of ALL wedding professionals on the island, easily searchable by location! Featuring a bio, reviews, examples of their work, etc, the guide should help make your  vendor search as quick and painless as possible!

THE BUY AND SELL SECTION
The NL Brides Buy and Sell group is extremely busy, but it is disorganized due to Facebook’s layout restrictions. Items are easily lost in the mix, being bumped down by other posts, lacking categories. The group search bar has long been faulty, and there isn’t a single one of us who can say that they haven’t lost a Facebook message to the dreaded “other” folder. The Buy and Sell section of newfoundlandbrides.com is organized, and is so much more user friendly, with responses directed to the sellers email address! Simple and easy to find the items you need, and sell the things you wish to pass on to another lucky bride!

PLANNING RESOURCES
The cherry on the sundae!! If you’ve been a part of the group long enough, you’ll have noticed that there are many frequently asked questions. The resources page includes must-have tools such as a fabulous budget guide with more being added shortly! Over time there will be tons of articles added about everything a bride MUST know! 🙂

I couldn’t be more thrilled that you are here reading this right now! I can’t wait to get started, and I hope it provides you everything you need in order to plan the BEST DAY EVER!
