It depends on how you want it.

Have told my parent and fiancée my budget for my wedding is 1.5 million if anyone isn't ok with what I present feel free not to attend.

My plan is too have my white and traditional wedding on the same day.

A nice venue of of 300k will used for both ......in the morning a pastor will conduct the white wedding ceremony with few people from both family.

From 1pm the traditional wedding and reception will hold at the same time.

Break down of my budget.
Venue 300k
Food and drinks 500k
Decoration etc 200
Photo and video 200k
Unforseen expenses 200k

I no my parent will want something bigger but any money they drop won't be spent on my wedding.
The clothes will be using is not an issh.

I could easily have a wedding of 3million budget with few support from my sibling and parent but nah.

Left to me I won't even have any wedding ceremony..

Yes and even less. it all depends on how you plan it.

Hears a rough breakdown.

Cut out any unecessary cost like halls. You can beg your church to use their auditorium or any large space around the church.

Food.
Stick strictly to rice and use packs to serve to also cut cost of breakable serving plates. ( No varieties).
Pure water for everyone.
It's only at parties people form I don't take pure water. Go to any big man's house now, you'll see bags of pure water. Thats what most of them drink.

Do moderate wedding cake at the most 30k.

Beg one of your siblings wen Sabi do selfie to handle photography that day If you have a good phone. Take it to studio, select and edit the ones you want.

Your wedding outfits can be rented at very affordable rates depending on where you're renting it. If you choose to sew or buy readymade, highest, 150k don cover for both of you.

All these should not be more than 300k.

I read about how Nairalanders Joetttimua1811manage just #500k for his wedding in 2020 which I really appreciate how he manage himself without own anybody.

Believe me, When it comes to celebrating the union of a man and woman, trust Nigerians not to hold back on providing the best food and drinks, renting a spacious hall, and indirectly telling a friend to say to another friend about the event.

While Nigerian weddings are mostly seen as an opportunity to celebrate with the couple and get free food, the truth is that they are financially demanding. It is in the sense that planning a wedding is not cheap.

With the economic setbacks being experienced in the country, we need to secure our financial future. So, in case you are hoping to one day stand at an altar wearing a suit or bridal gown, here is an insight on how to plan a wedding with a budget of 700,000 or even less.

So With a hypothetical guest list of 100 to 150 people including ( mogbo, moya ) kindly drop your breakdown budget of #700k include weeding attire and shoes for bride and groom, stationary and souvenirs, reception venues and decorations, food and drinks and miscellaneous.

Nairalanders, kindly help somebody with good calculations.

Stop giving yourselves headache.

The important thing is the solemnisation (joining) ... every other thing na feferity ....

Carry yourself to Registry and do reception later .... close the chapter, begin slaughter your cow.

Trust me u will save money.

Nobody will be able to tell if you're putting on 500k suit or 50k suit by 4pm of that day ...

And no matter how many or big the cow u slaughter, there will always be some people that would claim not to eat so why stress yourself?

Meanwhile, a lot of homes have broken down due to suffering after getting married as a result of borrowing here and there to satisfy other people's expectation. So, don't go that route ...

U have no one to impress ...

But you're free to borrow 5 million from bank to do your wedding ... your brain go reset when u start paying back heavily afterwards

Go registry jeje ... with as little as 70 to 150k, you're ok.

An extra 150k should provide food for some small no of people (less than 100) ... The rest, use to take care of your newly formed family

Wedding cannot cost you more than 70,000 naira, what cost money is reception and it not a most to host a reception, go to church, conduct your wedding and go back home

Deceiving who?

The problem with empty blockheads is that they think there is a standard to do everything in life.
