wedding cost breakdown | $67k wedding in australia | tips & reflections

We got married in early 2025 this year and spent just over $67k AUD on our big day — $10k over budget 😅. But we have no regrets as we had an amazing time celebrating with all our loved ones. We skipped a lot of the traditional wedding norms for e.g. no bridal party, no big cake cutting, no first dance, and still had the best time ever. In this video, I share our full wedding cost breakdown, how I managed and tracked everything without a wedding planner using my own wedding tracker and my honest reflections + tips I’d give to any engaged couple. ✨The exact Wedding Budget Tracker & Planner I used to organise my entire wedding is available here: https://withtheaims.etsy.com/au/listi... ✨ Any questions about vendors, suppliers or costs - let me know in the comments! ✨ Lastly, was was your budget for your wedding if you’re looking to get married soon or if you are already married, how did you guys go from a cost perspective? 🙏 Thanks for watching and if you enjoyed this video, make sure you give it a like and subscribe for more! — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — ⏱️ // Timestamps // 0:00 - Pre intro 😗 0:30 - Intro 2:41 - Context & background (type of wedding, why wedding) 8:28 - Cost breakdown overview 10:16 - Cost breakdown / Food, drinks + venue hire 14:05 - Cost breakdown / Photos, videos + photobooth 15:41 - Cost breakdown / Attire, wear and make up + hair 21:07 - Cost breakdown / Floral, stationary + styling 24:32 - Cost breakdown / DJ, MC + lion dancing 27:35 - Cost breakdown / Accommodation + london taxi 29:23 - Cost breakdown wrap up 30:34 - Tip 1 - Having a budget and agree with partner 31:13 - Tip 2 - Tracking all of your wedding cost and expenses 31:53 - Tip 3 - Start a sinking savings fund early on 32:56 - Tip 4 - Don’t be afraid to break traditional wedding customs 33:59 - Last words — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 🙋🏻‍♀️ Come say hi on instagram →   / withtheaims   📧 Inquiries → [email protected] — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — // Free & Paid Money Templates // 📊 Budget Personal Finance Tracker: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/11699... 📊 Net Worth Tracker (Comprehensive): https://withtheaims.etsy.com/listing/... 📊 Wedding Budget Tracker & Planner: https://withtheaims.etsy.com/au/listi... 📊 FREE Share Portfolio Tracker: https://withtheaims.gumroad.com/l/eedc 📊 FREE Savings Tracker (Sinking Funds & Emergency Fund): https://withtheaims.gumroad.com/l/DzjUg 📊 FREE Income & Expenses Tracker (Beginners): https://withtheaims.gumroad.com/l/bnoqd 📊 FREE Net Worth Tracker (Beginners): https://withtheaims.gumroad.com/l/dqhwpq — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — // Preferred Investing Apps // 📌 ETFs/Shares I use → Moomoo (30 days free brokerage + up to 38 free shares): https://start.moomoo.com/0B9qxo 📌 Crypto I use → Bitcoin.com.au – Get $25 FREE Bitcoin (with any deposit): https://portal.bitcoin.com.au/invite/... // Referral Links & More // 📌 Shopback (Earn $20 🎉): https://app.shopback.com/ynKkPdUQTXb 📌 Tax Depreciation Report - Investment Properties | Duo Tax (you pay $550, instead of $700): https://duotax.com.au/forms/start/?ri... 📌 Wise Travel Card (Get a free card or free transfer up to $1k): https://wise.com/invite/ihpc/yaminl10 [Ps.
