*I would like to give special thanks to all of the brides, grooms and wedding professionals that contributed to this article. Your input is very helpful and greatly appreciated.
We all know it…planning a wedding can be expensive! In fact, the latest statistics show that the average wedding in the United States costs between $20,000 and $30,000 depending on geographic location. Weddings in larger metropolitan areas average $30,000+ for 150 guests.
With the flailing economy, I decided to ask Atlanta area brides how they were saving money on their weddings. I also asked for advice from many Atlanta area wedding professionals.
This is a LOOONG article. Due to the length of this article, I have split it into 4 parts and several sections within each part. I will publish each part as I finish writing them and I will announce the updates on the home page, so please check back!
