I would like to firstly say that planning (organizing) is the most important part of a wedding. No amount of money spent on a wedding ceremony would be sufficient, if it's not planned properly. Am going to give a detailed info on how I planned a success wedding ceremony for my younger sister (bride) and hope this would be useful to whoever is planning on having a moderate/ low and tight budget but still look forward to something elegant and modern. |

Always have it at the back of your mind that you don't have to break the bank or be in debt to have a modern day ceremony. I would be very detailed as possible as I can be. (Note that pictures of some of the items/event discussed would follow after the write up) Location: Lagos Date: August, 2015 Color of the day: Sun yellow and turquoise blue Duration of planning: 2 months Type of marriage:Court and traditional marriage. |

TRADITIONAL WEDDING(Yoruba) Planning of the traditional wedding: this took place the Saturday after the court wedding. The analysis I would be giving is that from the bride's side because the feeding and drink for the bride and groom was done seperately. The groom family took care of their guest while the bride family also took care of their guest. The number of guest the bride family planned for150 guest (but always add invisible number of 50 to the guest list) while the groom planed for 200 people (capacity of hall is 350 guest) I would give the summary of expenses and later give the details Summary of expenses: Invitation: #2,500 Hall : #70,000 (unbelievable) Decor: # 60,000 Music band:#50,000 Photographer: #30,000 ( small wedding album) Small chops for 120 people: - #30,000 Servers (5@#1,500/1) :- #7,500 Food - #250,000 Drinks: #50,000 Dress for bride parents:- #36,000 Dress for bride's siblings ((This is inclusive of in-laws and grand children :- #57,000 Miscellaneous :- #5,000 Total:#648,000 |

541,000 + 648,000 is = 1,189,000 and not 700,000 as you implied in your topic. Less than 700,000 was spent only on the brides side. A WEDDING involves 2 people and not the wife only. 2 Likes |
