RTE 2FM Nicky Byrne and Jenny Greene Show

Stick a fork in me I’m done! I adore the Nicky and Jenny show on RTE’s 2FM so it was a huge honour to visit them to chat about weddings.

We chatted about a piece of research that Bank of Ireland brought out:

The key discussion was around this going over budget and what couples can do to reign it in as well as some tips on how to bring your wedding budget down.

Here is what I suggested:

1. Start as you mean to go on – download my free wedding budget template
2. Get 3 quotes
3. If you are on a tight budget and want a top end dress – wait for the sample sales, try Wed2B, Timeless Bridal Wear for pre loved and Barnardos do dresses too.
4. Ask for a deal! Yes its that simple! You don’t ask, you don’t get.
5. Save, Save Save
6. I also mentioned that I have a book and that gives step by step tips when planning each stage to keep you armed and empowered to make strong decisions.
7. Don’t rely on guests’ gifts to fund your wedding
