Everyone Wants A $10,000 Wedding

It must be “plan-your-$10,000 wedding” week. On Saturday, the Star ran a piece on how to have a green wedding on ten grand. Then on Monday, theknot.com’s weekly email contained a link to its “$10,000 challenge”.



That article profiles five under-$10,000 weddings that took place in five different American cities. While the pieces have some interesting, though rather city-specific, ideas, it feels rather hypocritical to be reading about budget weddings on a website that’s packed with images of elaborate, six-tier cakes and dresses that cost more than $10,000.

A better source for cheap wedding ideas are 2000dollarwedding.com and APracticalWedding.com. While 2000dollarwedding.com is bit too homey and DIY for my taste, it might be right for you it if you’re crafty and don’t dream of the Big White Day. The author also answers readers’ questions and provides plenty of detail on how she was able to pull off a $2,000 wedding.

APracticalWedding.com is more my thing. The author takes a very common-sense approach to planning a wedding and doesn’t make you feel guilty for spending money or not going the DIY route. She also profiles other practical weddings and links to over a dozen wedding-related blogs including one called a $10,000 wedding.
