![Open and honest money talks are key to keeping wedding planning stress-free. Before you fall in love with a designer dress or a five-tier cake, have a heart-to-heart with your partner about your overall budget.
Remember, communication is key! If family members are contributing, initiate those conversations about expectations and amounts early on. Don't shy away from potentially tricky discussions!
