What should our budget breakdown be?As I’m sure you’ve read/heard weddings can be expensive. The following is a guideline that we, as wedding planners,

like to use to stick to our budget!

Reception 41.25%Ceremony 2.7%Apparel/Bride 8.0%Apparel/Groom 0.6%Photographer 7.0%

Videographer 5.0%Flowers 7.0%Entertainment 6.25%Stationary 3%Accessories 1.5%

Gifts 1.5%Transportation 2.5%Beauty 0.65%Other 11.0%Overages 2.25%

You will find that this guideline seems very broad. This is just an overview of the average wedding expenses. Once we sit down and look at everything we can plug everything in and see what we’re working with! You may be surprised! You may spend less in one area and more in another! It’s all about working together! That’s what marriage is about!

Final thoughts from Sasha Ticali

I began Timelessly by Sasha because of my own wedding planning experience. I enjoyed every single second of it – even the stressful times. As a bride I found that in order for me to have everything we wanted at our wedding the footwork was extreme. My venue had a wedding planner – in fact, I probably wouldn’t have had such a wonderful, memorable night had it not been for her.

Here at Timelessly by Sasha we promise you an endless list of creative ideas, personal touches and special, lasting reminders of your event.

Planning can be overwhelming, starting can seem like the biggest test of your life – you may even think you can’t do it. We can help you! Whether it’s your wedding day, birthday, bridal shower or 50th wedding anniversary – Timelessly by Sasha takes pride in being your go-to for fun, happiness and love every step of the way.

Contact us today to make your dreams come true and a special day for you!
