Making a list of everything you need to spend money on for your wedding is a very good idea. Bear in mind that a lot of costs come before the actual day. Stag and Hen parties, deposits for venues, catering and also the clothes you’ll be wearing will all need to be paid for upfront.

So how do you make the most of your money? We’ll guide you through some of the ways you can maximise your savings.

Get started as soon as you can

The sooner you start to save, the more manageable the costs will be. You could also make more of your money by doing some early planning.

Locking your money away for at least a year will improve how much you’ll make from it and remove the temptation to take it out. You might also be able to make the most of an ISA tax-free allowance – meaning potentially even better returns.

Whatever your savings targets and how you choose to save, look at all of your options before deciding on which options are right for you. If you’re in any doubt you might want to seek the advice of an Independent Financial Advisor.
