Discouraged by these numbers? Economy got you down and don't think you can spend this kind of money. Don't let it! Many brides are opting for smaller more intimate weddings and cutting back on many things. Make your day your own and it will fit into budget! And most importantly, Hire a wedding planner. They can make vendor recommendations that fit your budget and make sure you don't get in over your head and most importantly, keep you calm, cool and collected on your wedding day!
