Budget Wedding Blogs & Books

Updated December 9, 2014 by Mid-South Bride

These days an average wedding will cost you tens of thousands of dollars. The average wedding cost in Memphis is between $17,360 and $28,933 on average for their wedding. However, most couples have a limited wedding budget and spend less than $10,000 on their wedding.

If you’re trying to save money on your wedding then you will need every resource you can get. Cutting corners, doing things yourself, and being smart about your spending will help you save thousands. When you’re planning you might want to forgo the hours of Pinterest inspiration that can lead to overspending and instead spend a few hours with a good budget wedding blog or budget wedding book. These blogs and books are all about helping you stretch your wedding dollars to get the big day you’ve always dreamed of for less.
