Many women dream about their weddings from the time they're little girls. They imagine the white dress, the stunning venue, and the perfect partner. What most people don't dream about, though, is the cost.
Any bride can tell you that the worst part of planning a wedding is the stress of budgeting. Unfortunately, all over the country, wedding costs are skyrocketing. According to Brides , in 2017, the average wedding cost $27,000. Just a year later, in 2018, the average wedding cost more than $44,000! In 2019, that number will probably be even higher.
Obviously, most people don't have tens of thousands of dollars sitting around, so weddings can be a huge strain on their bank accounts.
Although weddings can be very expensive, there are ways to cut costs. Lots of wedding dresses cost thousands of dollars, but you can actually get a beautiful gown for under $200 without sacrificing style.
