I know there are some down sides to this wonderland wedding but you can find different things that with take place of them that you are worrying about. for example instead of having cares that might be dangerous of roads you could have a house drawn carriage that brings people around the grounds.

Costly Weddings

The Average Wedding Costs $25,000

There’s nothing more heartwarming than celebrating the act of two people joining together in marriage. A couple’s wedding day is full of memories that last a lifetime for all people involved. Unfortunately, the average wedding cost has sky rocketed in recent years, according to experts from the wedding industry making it more difficult to save money and pay for this dream event.

After you and your significant other announce your engagement and begin to tally the overall cost of your wedding, you have reason for concern if your budget reaches $25,000 or more.  After some research, you might be shocked by the fact that the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. is equal to a brand new car or a down payment on a home (The Wedding Report).

But the truth is a wedding doesn’t need to cost anywhere near $25,000, you just need to plan properly — a couple can definitely cut wedding costs and still celebrate their nuptials in style  on wedding costs in the thousands versus tens of thousands.

Let’s break down the range of costs an average American might pay for a wedding that includes 100 people. In this way, we can show you where to save:

• Wedding License: $35 (cost varies by state)
• DJ: $100 to $300 per hour ($500 – $1,500 for 5-hour reception)
• Photographer: $750 to $10,000
• Catering: $20 to $350 per person ($2,000 to $35,000)
• Flowers: $400 to $5,000
• Reception venue and decorations: $300 to $10,000
• Cake: $1.50 to $12 per slice ($150 to $1,200)
• Dress: $100 to $5,000
• Tuxedo: $100 and up
• Officiate: $200
• 2 Wedding Bands: $200 to $3,000
• Invitations: $100 to $5,000

Some people prefer to hire a wedding planner  to handle the details of the event.

In this case, your cost is going up by another $1,500 to $5,000. Other ways that could boost the cost of your weddings that were not listed would be: the videographer, rental car/limo, hair and makeup, bridal shower, bachelor party and wedding favors.
