How much did you spend on your wedding? Can you please tell me what you spent on things? Thank you
Answer
Shelby,
I applaud you for being so honest and realistic about this question. I am proud of you. First I would like to say it should not have to cost a lot of money to say your wedding vows. Weddings have become so commerical, overdone and fake some couples forget the real meaning of the vows and what a wedding is supposed to be, a commitment to stay together always.
To answer your question I got married over 16 years ago. My wedding cost about $7000.00 however my parents paid for the buffet/carrot cake and coffee which was 23.00 a person at a local hall.(the hall reception we had 165 people as I am one of seven children and my husbands mom is one of 8) I paid $650 for the djay cash in a money order. Instead of a cocktail hour I had a cake and punch reception at the church as we could not invite everyone to the reception that was cake coffee, punch mints and assorted cocktail nuts my parents were very generous to pay for that as well.
My dress was a discontinued gown which was very beautiful I was going to get a tea length gown above the ankles but the gown was ivory which I wanted and had a small faint stain on it that you could barely see when you covered it withthe boquet flowers that was $419.00 with alerations I am a large size woman my mother in law made my viel for under 60.00 which was a bow with a viel that came down to my shoulders. My earrings were a gift for my birthday which I wore as a wedding gift in addition I got the shoes for about 20.00 uncomfortable looking back I would have gotten shoes with no heel but maybe a wegde. I had a friend make the flowers in pink silk costing 80.00 $60.00 for the flowers and a twenty dollar tip for her making them.
In addition to that I had very simple flower arrangments of blue and pink flowers with baby breaths and the trellis that we got married under in the church auditorium I put some silk flowers on them.
We were very blest to have the flowers that you put on the seats given to us from a couple who got married 2 weeks before us and they were beatuiful.
My phtotographer was 800.00 and we got a lot of pictures for a very resonable price being most phtogrpahers went for $1500.00 or even more. We paid for that ourselves. I ordered corsages for my mother and mother in law to wear and the groom my husband and my dad and stepdad and the best man and grooms men wore a simple flower. For presents for the wedding party my husband got the wedding party nice pens and I gave my girls gold bracelts which we paid for my cash.
I had family and friends video the wedding which only last 25 minutes my request. I sang to my husband on the altar. I had wedding programs made up those were not expensive. I had my invitations made up at an office place for a fraction of the cost that it would have been at a wedding expo or cars store they were so pretty.
The groom my husband and his wedding party rented black simple tuxes which they returned the next day after the wedding. My dad was kind enough to return my husbands tux as he was going to be busy on his honey moon:) The maid on honor and bridesmaid gowns were beautiful teal color and something that they could wear again like on a cruise and/or cut the dress below the knee and use it has a cocktlail dress for a formal event or a wedding with alternations for the girls dresses it costed under 150.00.
My wedding was semi-formal meaning that even though everyone dressed up there was some who could not afford to dress up so wore nice jeans and a shirt. We had handicapped people at our reception as well. I was not a stuck up bride and or a bridezilla.
We did not go in debt over our wedding and paid everything by either check, cash and or money order.
Our honeymoon for 8 days to Lancaster PA was 8 days long and costed for the 2 of us with logding food, about 950.00 which we paid off as soon as we got the bill that was the only thing we charged we also took some spending money as well. We wanted to go to a place not surrounded by people, so we could truly be alone and together as husband and wife (btw it was never "just the 2 of us" until we were married) We stayed at a Howard Johnson that had an indoor pool the room was neat and clean and the food there was very reasonable, afforadable and as well as tasty and delicoius:) THe fall foilgage around us was so beautiful:)
Just remember the wedding is for one day the marriage is for the rest of your life. btw it is possible to have an economic but very nice wedding we did it and you can too now there is the internet avaialable and shop around ask like you did on this site. I hope this helps God bless:) e4g

Color help for wedding planning?
MB P
I have a predicument...
my wedding dress is ivory and want the groom to match.
My question is this, If my b-maids dresses are lilac, can the groomsmen wear platinum vest but with a white shirt not ivory, or should the guys shirts match the ivory like the groom?
Answer
Have the groom wear all ivory, guys wear black with the appropriate color accents. Don't try to "overcoordinate" ... remember, you'll be taking pictures.
Good luck.
