According to a very popular wedding planning website, The Knot, the average cost of a wedding nowadays is $27,800.
What. the. heck.
Yeah, sure David Tutera is amazing. What is money when you're planning the day you've been dreaming of since age 7? Well, it's still money. My parents aren't lawyers or doctors. I work a clerical job and my fiance, while he is doing very well for himself, doesn't have 20 grand just sitting around in a savings account. I refuse to go into debt for a single day of my life.
So, what's a girl to do? I've seen Pinterest. The cat is out of the bag. Now I'll never be satisfied with just a mediocre wedding.
So, four months ago when I got engaged, I determined that I needed to keep costs down.
Added to the small budget, my other challenge was the short amount of time I've had to plan my wedding. Six months.
This is a blog about my projects, my spend thrift tips and a log of my experience. I don't claim to be an expert. I just hope by sharing my wedding planning journey, it will help you in yours.
