Whatever you plan, it will cost about double.
I budgeted mine for $35k~40k and we ended up spending around $55k. But this includes EVERYTHING including honeymoon.
Things add up quickly:
-$150 pp usually for a nice reception place: 200 people you are at $30k
-$3k~5k for DJ
-$3k~4k for flower
-$4k~6k for photos
-$1k~2k for dress
-$500 for tux
-$1k~2k for groomsmen and bridesmades
-$5k~8k for honeymoon
This is the core of the wedding and we are already over $50k, and there will be a LOT more small things you will have to pay such as limo/favor/things around table/after party/shoes/ etc...
