Comment by Julia Wrentham on October 28, 2011 at 9:31pm: Weddings really are expensive. There are ways to save money, but I'm not sure about too many ways aside from trying to flutter my eye lashes at a few wedding vendors to negotiate their prices... maybe you could write blogs about ways to save money for your wedding so that brides wedding expenses aren't as steep as these average costs?

Comment by Gerald Sousa on October 28, 2011 at 9:53pm: I photograph a lot of weddings in New York and it's really one of the most expensive places to get married... and even the costs of living are probably the highest in the United States... New York is just a very expensive place and certainly it's much of the reason that this national average cost of a wedding is getting higher.
