Planning your wedding budget can feel overwhelming at first — but when you understand the true costs and where to focus your money, you can build a beautiful Missouri wedding day that feels unforgettable without overspending.

This year-by-year guide to traditional anniversary gifts (1–25 years) shares the symbolism behind each milestone and gift ideas to inspire meaningful celebrations. Planning your big day too? Berkshire Ridge Wedding Venue is a locally owned St. Louis wedding venue featuring a romantic outdoor woodland ceremony space and a stunning two-level patio reception area with string lights and fire cocktail tables

unset glow over the Berkshire Ridge patio with cocktail-height fire tables beneath the string lights — the perfect gathering spot for guests to relax and enjoy the evening. Warm nights just got even cozier at Berkshire Ridge. Our new cocktail-height fire tables glow beneath the string lights on our stamped concrete patio — two on the upper deck and two on the main patio — creating a stunning space for guests to mingle, laugh, and soak in the evening views.
