While certainly joyous occasions, weddings also come at a great expense. The average wedding costs around $31,200, all things considered – an increase of 16% since 2010, despite guest lists shrinking 4%. Reports have also shown that 53% of couples spend 10-plus hours each week planning their weddings, while brides contribute an average of 36 complete days to the same task. On the other hand, hiring a wedding planner will cost you roughly 15% of your total budget.
It’s therefore no surprise that brides, grooms and their families have countless questions about the process – from how much to spend (and on what) to tips for DIY projects that can drastically reduce costs. And that’s just the financial side of things. Fashion, function and fun must also be taken into account.
And the task of providing that information, in this social age of ours, falls squarely on the blogosphere. There are more than 200 wedding blogs out there, and they serve as a collective source of wisdom for millions of people involved in the wedding process. But which ones are the best?
