WE’RE BACK! Welcome to Season 2 — we’re so glad you’re here. This week, Mel & Malea discuss the impact of inflation on the wedding world. They’ll answer why weddings are costing more, whether social media is tricking you into overspending, and how to decide where to splurge and where to save when planning your wedding budget. Oh, and they reveal the average cost per guest—that number alone might just leave you speechless. Tune in for their top tips on prioritizing your wedding budget so you can still have the wedding of your dreams!
