More Couples Seek Less Expensive Wedding Options

As the overall cost of living continues to rise the price we pay for everyday items like gas, milk, and eggs increases. It should come as no surprise that the cost of special occasions is increasing too. However, what might be surprising is just how much those prices have climbed. As many wedding vendors scramble to recoup some of the revenue lost during the Coronavirus pandemic, an increasing number of engaged couples find themselves being priced out of the market! That’s why a growing number of couples are seeking less expensive wedding alternatives. 

Surprise Wedding Plans

Nova Scotia based bride Tiffany Adams dreamed of hosting her Wedding on a boat. However, when the quotes for her special day came back at over $25,000 Tiffany and her husband knew that dream was out of reach. Or was it? While looking for a less expensive wedding option, the couple hit upon the idea of chartering a private whale spotting tour for their closest family and friends. Once on the open sea Tiffany surprised the guests by emerging in her Wedding gown! The couple exchanged their vows and headed back to shore for dinner at a local restaurant. The final bill for the wedding ended up being just $4000 and left the newlyweds debt free!

Choose Eloping Instead

If you are on the hunt for less expensive wedding options, one of the easiest ways to spend money is to choose an elopement. You could save over 90% of the average cost of a traditional wedding when you elope instead. Even more exciting is that you can grab yourself a short honeymoon at the same time! An elopement can be as simple or as extravagant as your budget allows. Some couples opt to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony for two, while others choose a micro wedding with a handful of family and friends in attendance. Eloping is not only a far less expensive wedding option, it is also the one that offers the most amount of flexibility.
