My FI and I are having a private DW so it's important to us that videography and photography are top-notch b/c that is how people will share in our day. We want them to be able to see and feel the emotion as we take our vows so this is where a lot of the funds went.
being a bride, actually, being a woman, my gown is the most important to me, and photographer is the 2nd.
For us, it was all about inviting as many guests as possible with our budget, second would be the DJ. We want our wedding to be an enormous celebration.
I voted for my gown, because we definitely spent top dollar on that while we are being reasonable with everything else. But money aside, the most important element to us is the music because we want a party!
The food and venue package was most important - we want our guests to have a unique and satisfying experience.
The dress is definitely least important for me personally - I think most of your guests don't care if you're wearing a $500 gown or a $5000 gown.
definitely the marriage is the most important part! Is that too obvious?
The getting married part! I have come to realize that everything could go to hell, but as long as my FI is by my side and we get to say "I do" everything is fab. :)
The venue was definitely the most important part of our wedding. It set the whole mood for the big show, and I spent the most time, effort and money on it.
I said other. Knowing that Jason and I will be having the best day of our lives and then many more happy ones afterwards.
... the ceremony. We'll be getting married in the church he was ordained in, and the church where his minister mentor is, but the fact that we're getting married at all is the most important thing. Everything else is just gravy.
the venue/food is the most important to us, and where we're spending the bulk of our money. it's just important to us that our guests have a nice meal in an intimate setting! photography is second!
Us! :P
Seriously though, it would probably be the ceremony or the honeymoon. I don't much care about the wedding outside of the ultimate goal--getting married--and the honeymoon would be the first big trip outside of the US I've ever taken.
It's a toss up between food, family & flowers. We've picked a venue with incredible food... we want all our long distance family members and friends to make it here... and I want more flowers than you'll find on "Flowers Uncut w/ Jeff" lol
Photography and then food. Our photographer is more than I wanted to spend but we didn't want to compromise on quality.
Location! The Francis Marion Hotel in downtown charleston where my mom was working during her pregnancy with me.
Photography for sure! It's the only thing you have left from your wedding day. A good photographer is absolutely worth it!
i picked MUSIC b/c location wasn't on there. The location set the entire wedding for us - colors, music, food, you name it. But out of the list, the music was most important, then the food, b/c those things really make parties kick ass!
Photography by far was the first priority. Second was venue (we wanted people to actually enjoy it as well). Third was food and drink. How photography could be a lower priority for people baffles me. If you guys a $5K dress or go for the castle venue, but you don't have good photo coverage of it, what's the point? All you'll have is memories in your head, not documentation.
Lower priorities for us were the cake, decor and DJ. We DIYed our centerpieces using mostly candles. We got a very simple cake. We didn't hire a DJ and used our laptop with carefully timed playlists (and it worked like a charm and had everyone dancing).
I guess photography, since we spent a pretty big chunk on that and are really excited about her work. I'd also say venue, though. We ended up with a really wonderful venue that I'm so excited about. It was important to me that I felt the location was special and not generic.
Our original priority list put "music, food, and fun" above everything else. I would be lying though if I said that gown, photography, and flowers hadn't snuck up into the list at some point in the planning process ;-)

I just wanted to have an idea of what's most important for other couples. For my fiance and I photography is a huge priority. For my cousin, a huge chunk of the budget is going towards the DJ because she wants an exciting dance floor. For my co-worker, her dress is the most important and she is spending $5000 on it but skimping on other items like food and photography. What element are you and your fiance spending a considerable amount of money on?
