Budget friendly tips for brides

bride budgetIn the wedding industry there’s a saying that every wedding has a budget. Even if you’re spending $1 million, you’re still on a budget.

On average, U.S. couples spend $25,656 for their wedding, with the majority of couples spending between $19,242 and $32,070, according to a survey by The Wedding Report Inc., a research company that tracks and forecasts spending and consumer trends for the wedding industry.

If you’re looking to spend less or at least stick to your budget, the key is to prioritize, said Tracie Domino, founder and creative director of Tracie Domino Events in Tampa, Fla.

“People want to stay on budget,” Domino said. But couples don’t want to appear cheap, rather “they’re looking for value,” Domino said.

“Thinking outside the box can also save money,” said MoneyCrashers.com founder and co-owner Andrew Schrage.
