Little Time/Less Budget Weddings

Previous generations used to label "quickie weddings" and assume the worst, but in today's day and age we are finding that there are a multitude of reasons couples choose less time to plan and I personally am a huge fan! Shorter engagements are no longer the exception to the rule with couples cohabitating. After all, the engagement period was originally intended as a time to get to know one another better. Obviously, living together serves that purpose very well.

Some of my favorite weddings that I have coordinated were done in three weeks to three months. Yes, it is very "do"able. Those brides have less time to read bridal magazines, go to bridal shows and discuss details with other "brides". That usually translates to less details to incorporate into her special day. Less details means less cost which is a very good thing in today's current economy. The average cost of a wedding in Cleveland is $25,000. I am here to tell you that you can have your perfect wedding for under $10,000. Yes, that includes the dress, the fun party with cake, a photographer, invitations and flowers. You're on your own for the honeymoon!
