<human>:  I need help developing a budget for my upcoming wedding.
<bot>: First, you will need to determine your total wedding budget. Create an itemized list of all your expected expenses and prioritize them accordingly (e.g. venue, food, flowers, etc.). Take into consideration any additional costs like taxes and gratuities. Research and compare different vendors to get the best price. To stay within your budget, be sure to track your progress throughout the planning process. Consider ways to offset costs, such as finding an alternative venue, or choosing a less expensive caterer. Finally, factor in a buffer amount, to have money set aside for any unexpected expenses.
