Weddings on a Budget: Real Life Brides and Their Real Life Weddings
Like never before, brides are trying to plan and create their
dream weddings on a budget. Their budget. Statistics state that the
average wedding budget in 2007 was $29,000, 2008 was $22,00 and in 2009 was just over $19,000. See a trend here, girls?
The late 2000s brides are taking control of their planning (who needs a wedding planner when you've got some budget savvy-ness and
an internet connection?), getting more involved and hands on with the details (DIY Wedding anyone?) and prioritizing what is most important
to them (do you really need that $500 chocolate fountain?)
Real weddings on a budget are now the rule,
instead of the exception.
The stories below are all from real brides, sharing their budget wedding ideas and actual wedding budget planning tips and tricks.
This real wedding comes to you from the real Budget Savvy Bride, Jessica.
Jessica planned her Tennessee wedding with attention to detail, creative personal touches and, of course, remarkable budget savvy-ness.
She lets us in on some great tips for saving some serious cash, shares stunning DIY projects, and reflects on how all her careful planning
allowed for her and her hubby to enjoy the day, and each other.
