Infographic reveals where you can get the most from your wedding budget

The Dating Examiner has helped to plan a few weddings in her day, and with those experiences … she’ll be having a destination wedding. I digress … Weddings can be one of the most expensive milestones in a person’s life. Basically, it’s one of the most expensive parties that you’ll ever throw and wedding costs are continuing to soar.

While June has traditionally been the most popular month for nuptials, more and more couples are opting for less traditional months, but despite a breakaway from the conventional, according to The Wedding Report average wedding costs reached an all-time high in 2012 at $28,427. So, the folks over at My Glass Slipper set out to figure the facts and figures behind weddings and shared their findings by designing an informative infographic.

This infographic divides the information by US averages in geographical regions to see where the big wedding spenders are. The infographic gives priceless information to those planning a wedding and helps brides figure out how and where they can get the most bang for their buck.

Revealed in the infographic is a large variation between the size and range of American weddings. For example, in the Northeastern part of the country brides tend to spend more and have a smaller guest list. While, in the Southern region of the US, brides spend less and have much larger wedding. Also of note, the south hosts an average of 813,328 weddings per year – more than any other region – and can boast one of the largest and least expensive wedding venues anywhere in the country.

Why is the information in this infographic so help for brides-to-be? A wonderful example is that if the bride’s family is from Connecticut and the groom’s family is from Georgia, the couple is more likely to get a lot of bang for their buck by choosing to hold the wedding down South. If you’re in the midst of planning your special day, check out the two-part infographic and hopefully it will help to make your day everything that you want to be.
