Actual Wedding Costs
After thinking about all the budgeting to juggle, from 10% on the wedding gown  and tuxedo, 8% on the wedding flowers, and 2% on the wedding rings, you probably wonder what that actually equates to in the end.
Actual wedding cost depends on three things: the scale, size, and location of your wedding. Maybe you only want 50 of your closest friends and family members or perhaps you want 250. This makes a huge difference in prices. Likewise, a simple wedding will cost significantly less than something extravagant. Figure out what is most important to you; having lots of friends and family witness your special day or having the wedding of your dreams regardless of how many people witness it.
Check out this rough pricing guide below to get an idea of what a typical wedding costs. Keep in mind that location will greatly change the cost of your wedding. The estimates given here were found using Wedding Bells.com.
