Communicate your budget and let her know your limit so she can adjust or make up the difference
it isn’t about money, i just prefer quiet ceremonies

Just be honest with her! You could say something like, "I really want to keep things simple and focus on the moment." Emphasize that it’s about what feels right for you and your partner. You might even invite her to help with some aspects that fit your vision, so she feels included without taking over the whole thing.
Thank you for this

Well that’s a bigger problem than finances then.

You like lowkey quiet ceremonies. Your wife-to-be likes big ceremonies

Meet in the middle? Maybe a medium-smedium ceremony?

What number of people counts as a low key event to you and what’s her ideal number of people? Meet somewhere at the average and you can both be satisfied.

Hopefully.
My fiancée is not the problem, convincing her social butterfly mum is

During one of my friends wedding, the mother in-law kept on insisting the wedding must be big. They gave him one ridiculous bill. That was how my friend played along till two days to the wedding, nothing came out. He kept complaining that the money he was expecting did not drop. Nau so the mother in-law shoulder everything from food, location for reception, decoration. All the logistics so that people wouldn't laugh at him. The wedding was sweet. They are happily married till date.

Cut your clothes according to your size, if anyone have an objection to that, let them bring out the money and spend it on your behalf.
it isn’t about money

What’s your reason for wanting a low-key wedding? Is it finances or you’re just not into big ceremonies? If the former then you guys can agree on a compromise. DIY some of the things you would’ve otherwise paid for, find less costly alternatives where possible. If possible increase some of the money you are willing to spend and they have to agree to foot the cost of whatever extra is needed on top of the basic expenses that you are willing to pay.

If not, both of you can part ways. Resentment can linger if either party feels like they didn’t get their dream wedding.
Finance isn’t really the problem, I’m just not into crowds and heavy flashes

It's your wedding not hers. If you have to convince her, it shows you're not yet ready for marriage.
So I believe we have preferences, I just need to give her my reasons and she accepted respectfully

Mayb difficult but based on some1s experience that i knw

He observed the woman and used all types of reasoning he knows. He did his observations close and afar.

He caught her when she was offguard and told her his plans and was able to convince her beyond reasonable doubt. He talked politely and respectfully and told her its not just his own decision but both he and her daughter's.

Mama melted coz d guy in question know how to talk and manipulate the unmaniipulative person u ever know. It took him just series of little talks and hints and ONE BIG TALK.. So no beans, u gotta work 4 it.
I’ve had to convince the daughter though, because she wants an elaborate one. She’s accepted but not very comfortable with it, convincing her mum who has probably informed her different clubs and societies seem a strong challenge to me

Wonderful and then what happens if i decide to have even better inspiration and reason more properly? I guess i will add to the dosage right?

A word they say is definitely enough for the wise. Person wey wan dance enter stage go always start from small body movements before the dance enter body.
it has helped some artiste put down lyrics, perform in front of intimidating crowds...so

it requires caution for the wise, not the use
