Beat the Cost of Living Crisis with The Wedding Wellness Woman

With the cost of living crisis in full swing, we had a chat with local wedding consultant Jennifer Walker, The Wedding Wellness Woman, for her thoughts on how this might affect you as you plan your wedding. “A wedding day will be one of the biggest expenditures of a couple’s life,” Jennifer says. “With the financial crisis well and truly here, those wanting to wed are having to be extra careful with how they spend their pennies. But if the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that life’s too short to compromise.”

Saving pennies in a piggy bank labelled wedding

“There are so many ways to save money, if you can make your peace with throwing out the obligatory, traditional to-do list and start making your own rules! This doesn’t mean scrimping, it means investing money on what’s going to generate as many good feels as possible. If you concentrate on spending your money on things that are important to you, your money will be well spent.

“Working with a wedding consultant can definitely help. It may seem like a nice-to-have that a budget can’t stretch to, but speaking to someone who can help uncover what’s truly important in order to spend your money wisely could be the best investment you ever make!

“My approach is: if you’ve always dreamed of wearing an expensive designer wedding dress, but it means your guests will be eating pizza for tea... do it! If you both love festivals and you want one in honour of your happiness... do it! One thing you can’t afford is to look back on your big day and experience regret, and no one ever regretted spending their money on memories!”

Aileen Robertson, Tesco Bank's Head of Savings, has shared ways soon-to-be-wedded couples and newlyweds can build healthy savings habits and step into 2027 feeling more confident about their shared futures! Aileen Robertson, Head of Savings at Tesco Bank, comments: "The start of a new year often feels like the perfect opportunity for a fresh start, with people embracing resolutions and looking to turn over a new leaf. But creating new habits can take time as people settle back into their routines, and sometimes those good intentions never quite get off the ground. "If you're trying to stay on top of your finances in 2027, taking small steps now can make that journey much easier. It's important to remember that it's never too late, or too early, to start working towards your goals. Setting them is the first step, whether they're big or small, so think about what you want your money to do for you. From here you can start to work towards your goals, building good savings habits along the way, and see your money grow over time."
