Comment on "Budget Bride"

I loved every single word. I also learned some things that I had never considered about a budget. I've decorated for weddings/events for the last 7 years,and there have been times when I have used the word budget and the client looks offended. I will use what I have read Thanks, SYD

Comment on "Budget Bride"

Wow, I was really surprised at the brazenness of this article/post. In today's economy most brides are looking at a pretty tight budget, and want to stretch it as best they can. While I understand the "throwing a dart" comment, most brides just don't know what their dollar can buy, and need guidance of professionals to assist them. You talk about budget-conscious brides like penny-scraping freaks, who cannot possibly carry off a decent wedding, without sacrificing more than they originally agreed they could spend. If you are only willing to cater to those who are able to completely ignore their budget, why don't you just say so. There's really no need to degrade those who cannot afford the extravagance you require - most likely, they are stressed enough, trying to make the most of the finances available to them...

Wedding Costs - Who traditionally pays for a wedding
by:Vanessa Kasal Kunze

Wedding Costs
One question that usually comes up when a couple announces their engagement is, "Who will pay for the wedding?"

Traditionally, the majority of the wedding expenses are paid for by the bride and/or her family. In our more modern times, however, another approach is to divide the costs up between the bride and groom and each set of parents.

Below is a list of the traditional guidelines for wedding expenses. You may choose to adapt this list to your own personal needs and preferences.
