Living in California is expensive as it is and trying to budget for a local wedding in Orange County is just as difficult! My Fiance and I got engaged back in January 2019 and have been trying to save ever since. Luckily for us, my parents are generously giving us $10k. However, that just about covers just the cost of the venue! We have about $5k saved currently though everything such as catering, photographer, tux rental, flowers, and desserts are coming out to a grand total of $21,000! This is with DIYing as much as we can, including the CAKE! Any advice?
