She breaks down the biggest wedding expenses like venue, catering, photography, and outfits, and explains how small tweaks like e-invites, fewer vendors, buffet or family style food, renting suits, and skipping wedding favors can save thousands without sacrificing the vibe. Sim also shares mindset shifts around what guests actually remember, why a detailed wedding budget spreadsheet is essential, and how to spend intentionally on what matters most while cutting the rest.
