What Not to Wear to a Wedding

One should never under any circumstance wear jeans to a wedding! For gentlemen, if you're invited to an evening reception a tux, suit, or even dress pants with shirt and tie is in order. For ladies, cocktail dresses and evening wear (suits and gowns) are perfect choices. If you have a specific question about what is acceptable, feel free to leave a post for an immediate response.

How Much Does A Wedding Really Cost?

So really how much does a wedding cost? When meeting with new clients, I like to ask them how much they think the wedding they have envisioned will actually cost them? Here is what you can expect to pay for 150 guests: Venue: $3,000+ Food: $7,000+ Full Bar: $2,000+ Cake: $300+ Linens: $500+ Chivari Chairs: $ 1,000 Favors: $450+ Lighting: $800+ DJ: $800+ Videographer: $1,500+ Photographer: $2,500+ Flowers and Decor: $3,000+ Transportation: $800+ Rings: $800+ Wedding Attire (Gown and Tux): $1,000+ Invitations and Wedding Stationary: $300+ Officiant: $150+ Day of Coordinator: $800+ Total Cost: $26,700 If you want to spend less than this on your wedding, the first order of business is to reduce your guest count. Also, be sure to discuss with your wedding coordinator ways to save money and how to avoid costly wedding planning mistakes.
