How much did your wedding cost when it was all said and done?

HisWifey, on August 19, 2014 at 11:31 AM Posted in Planning 0 73

Just wondering how your wedding costs compare to mine.

1. Total Cost of your entire wedding, include honeymoon if you had one

2. Your general location (state or city, if you want)

Just for fun!

    Including honeymoon, we've spent about $23k. Location will be close to our house at a nearby golf course to make it easier for family coming in from out of town.

    What did yours cost? Was it worth it to you in the end?

    We are in Central PA but haven't had it yet, so don't have a final cost. What about you? Things you're happy about? Things you'd do differently?

    We are still planning but on a strict budget of $18k (including honeymoon). We're located in Chicago. My brothers are gifting us the dj and limo, my mom is giving us our shower, and my aunt is gifting us our wedding shower favors.

    We decided to not do traditional wedding day favors and donate money to charity as it will be used better.

    I've bought items (wedding invitations, toasting flutes, unity candle, cake knife, all centerpiece details) last Christmas from Michael's and Hobby Lobby because they were on clearance due to new products coming out.

    Ours is probably 8k including the honeymoon, but we are doing it cheap, saving with an afternoon wedding and more of a mini-moon closer to home than a honeymoon. Oh, and we're in AZ.

    We are getting Married in Lake Tahoe Nevada and total cost for everything is going to be about 14K. Includes hotels, rings, limo, venue for ceremony and reception.

    We are not doing a honey moon right now.

    We are doing simple centerpieces, skipped chair covers, colored linen, programs, cake topper, toasting flutes, unity candle, cake knife. I am doing all flowers myself from safeway flowers.

    Our wedding was in San Diego, CA. We did pretty much everything DIY, including food, so we only ended up spending around $6800 for the wedding, and $3500 on the honeymoon, so $10,300 total. I am more or less happy with just about everything except some initial disappointment with my wedding party

    Long Island NY, 150ish guests and cruise to Bermuda for Honeymoon will be around 25k.

    Mom/MOH paid for shower, Mom paid for favors and my dress. MIL gifted $2500 and is making my ceremony decor.

    I saved a bit by having ceremony and reception at the same venue.

    Dallas, TX- 100 guest, and our total was around $7k...that was a year and a half of planning and a ton of DIY. I went to Hobby Lobby every other week and bought wedding items for half off. If it wasn't wedding week I would download their coupon for half off on their website. My venue was $2,300 and that included center pieces, table linens, set up and breakdown. Food, dishes, and white glove service was aound $1,400. We bought our own liquor a little at a time and stored it in the pantry wound up spending $200 (a wholesale liquor store) for 3 bottles of vodka, 1 bottle of clear rum, 3 bottles of dark rum, 1 bottle of crown royal, 12pk of strawberita, 12pk of smirnoff ice value pack, 24 pk of bud light and 24 pk of Corona. The DJ was $400, photographer (coworker with photography on the side) $275, bartender $80. My dress was $1,200 and I was able to pay a deposit and a little every month for 6 months (Brides by Demetrios). Cakes were $196 (Grocery store). Honeymoon $450 (cheap vegas package). Officaint $100. Makeup $150. FH ring $200 Still waiting on hotel rooms for the night of and two rooms for my bridal party for pre wedding. My ring set was around 6k I dont count it because FH purchased them so yes my ring and wedding are around the same price.....go figure lol

    I am glad someone asked this I was curious too! Plus, this is making me not feel so crazy now that most everyone is in the same boat! I havent been keeping really close track of all the purchases and it seems my budget keeps growing but I think we are going to top off right around 30k with wedding + honeymoon. I am getting married in Wilmington, North Carolina.
