Here Comes The Bride
Planning a wedding requires months of preparation, with some brides beginning the process a year in advance. Venues, wedding dresses, bridesmaid attire, flower arrangements, catering, decor, and so much more!
Couples aim for the perfect wedding that reflects their personalities and captures their essence. However, they often overlook the significant cost associated with weddings, which can amount to several months’ worth of savings.
C’mon, Are Weddings Really That Expensive?
A study in the United States revealed that weddings could cost an average of $33,000. Yes, you read that right. Venues alone could cost up to $12,000, with catering expenses reaching as high as $10,000!
BUT WHYYYY? *in a bride scream”
There are many reasons behind the surge in wedding service prices, one of them being “The Wedding Tax.” Couples may find that they are charged more for wedding-related services compared to other celebrations.
Event planners claimed that the additional cost is justified as weddings are treated with more attention and care, usually leading to hiring more staff. Moreover, the planners added that the cost is attributed to the high level of detail and devotion they put into wedding preparations.
Another reason that could be behind the weddings’ high costs is societal expectations. Couples might feel the need to meet unrealistic standards by having the “perfect” wedding, with the “perfect” decor, “perfect” food, and “perfect” dress.
True Love = Expensive Wedding?
Some people could argue and say that a wedding should reflect the couple’s love and relationship. While others could oppose and say that if the couples truly love each other, then the wedding and the expenses don’t matter.
True love undoubtedly comes with its share of sacrifices, challenges, and heartbreaks, but does it need to come with a hefty price tag too?
What About Your Dream Wedding?
Statistics show that there are 115,000 weddings taking place on any given day around the world! But even with that huge number, every wedding is unique. While some go for fancy extravagant weddings, some opt for a small wedding with only close friends and family, and both are equally beautiful!
