Do you really know what a wedding costs?

If you have never planned a wedding, it can be very easy to underestimate what a wedding will cost.  The photos in blogs and on Pinterest don't include the price tag.

Check out the website Cost of Wedding.  Enter your zipcode and you can see averages for your area.  Or on the Wedding Cost Estimator to enter specific information about your wedding details for a more exact estimate.  Every bride should look at this before she begins planning.   Knowing the average or the range that items costs can prevent disappointment and make couples smarter about their spending decisions.

I did an estimate for an average bride.  Here is the breakdown.
