Where we allocated the most funds:

Photography and our wedding dinner, which was at Koks, the only restaurant in the whole country with a Michelin star. The food was amazing and the restaurant made a vegetarian tasting menu just for us, which was greatly appreciated.

Where we allocated the least funds:

My wedding dress, which was considerably cheaper than my partner’s custom suit.

What was totally worth it:

Everything! There was nothing we regret doing or buying. We cut down on most traditional wedding costs by having an elopement, so we spent nothing on invitations, venue, makeup and hair, wedding party, and similar. I am particularly happy we got such beautiful photos from our amazing photographer, who is also a fine art student.

What was totally not worth it:

Nothing we regret. By doing exactly what we wanted, how we wanted it, there were zero regrets at the end of the day.
