Saving for a wedding
As far as single days go, your wedding day is likely to be the most expensive day of your life. Costs can add up quickly, especially in the age of Pinterest and Instagram. The key is knowing what you can afford and planning carefully, so you don’t start married life laden with debt and regret.
The average UK wedding sets a couple back by £20,822.

Want to plan for your brighter future?
What do you need to think about
Agree a reasonable budget
Explore big-ticket costs like the venue early, then stick to your number.
Tax efficient savings account
ISAs or personal savings accounts? It depends on how soon you’re tying the knot, but make your money work while you save.
The favourable tax treatment of ISAs may not be maintained in the future and is subject to changes in legislation. Cash ISAs and saving accounts are not available through St. James's Place.Plan for hidden costs
Last-minute changes or hidden costs quickly add up.
Don’t borrow to excess
Starting married life in unnecessary debt isn’t a good idea.
Remember, it’s just one day
Whether you splurge on the flowers or not, the day will be over much too quickly. Don’t wake up with money regret.
Don’t forget about your future
It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement and go overboard, but future you will be thankful if you didn’t raid your rainy day fund.
