We are in the very beginning stages of planning our wedding and I just read an article on WeddingWire that said couples typically under-budget in the planning stages and end up spending around $29,000. We're prepared to spend what we need on the things that can't really change - like venue/catering costs - but is the average couple really spending $29,000 on a wedding?! I know we can cut costs by DIY, maybe I get a less expensive dress, less people attend etc but everything is adding up quickly! Does anyone have any solid advice and where/how to cut costs but still keep your wedding personalized and elegant?
All you brides that went through this already ---- looking back, where do you wish you could have saved some $$$?
