Speaking of buying matters for traditional wedding? It is easy to be place off track when you think of the huge monetary expenses that might be incurred with a large turnout of guests, inclusive of wedding crashers (we know it always happen). But the good part is that hosting traditional marriages has a more flexible approach these days than formerly when it seemed you had to break the bank. One could choose to go low key while still hold a grand white wedding or vice versa.

What’s in the flexibility? For a public ceremony, you could choose to go with the canopy style set up (most people go for this) or a grand cocktail style like what you would have seen in Ovation. The latter requires more detailing and higher budgeting.

Nevertheless, in the checklist provided below includes all the essentials you need for whichever style of event you opt for.

Why do it this way way? To avoid the pitfalls of leaving items out, it is usually helpful to be elaborate as possible regardless of the budget at hand before slashing out items off the list. And you get the opportunity to do that on this list- to reflect on what is essential and what could possibly be done without. That is the flexible approach to budgeting!

So then, what are the things to be bought for traditional marriage?
