Spring and Summer are the two most wedding-heavy seasons of the year. Nothing’s better than great weather and a backdrop of sprouting flowers on your big day. Well, there is one other thing that may one up it, and that’s saving money!

Then, set another for your expected costs (a.k.a. what you will pay, rounded up).
