The Average Canadian Wedding Budget

Food for Thought

The price of the average Canadian Wedding is around $21,000. Yes, $21,000. If we break it down into the kinds of weddings, 31% of couple spend $10,000 or less for an Economical Wedding, 43% of couples spend between $11,000 and $30,000 for the standard wedding, 23% of couples spending between $31,000 to $75,000 is more of a premium wedding and there is a very small percent (3%) that spend money on Luxury weddings (higher than $96,000). This does not include the honeymoon.

This is a lot to take in, I get it, but couples don’t really understand that a wedding costs money. It all depends on the kinds of wedding you have, sure, but a huge factor includes the amount of people coming and where you decide to have the wedding.

A majority of couples pay for their wedding on their own, and usually use the gifts to help offset things like the dinner portion of the wedding. If you’re lucky, your parents pay for the wedding, but that’s less than 22% of couples, so it’s no longer the norm.

I know when I planned my wedding I had a very detailed budget, initially we were in the economical range, but when we looked at everything (and trust me, I was very resourceful in saving us money) we ended up in the standard category.

At the end of the day, it’s what’s important to you, so invest in the things that will make you happy. For us that was food, entertainment and our pictures. Everything else was important, but not as important as those 3 things.

Just some food for thought, and if you have just recently been engaged, my best advice…. save, save, SAVE!

Ryan and Bethellen met in highschool in PEI and have a very cute story. He pursued her for two years with treasure hunts, love notes, roses. She grew to expect these advances and he grew tired of her not wanting to commit. When all the love stopped Bethellen realized what she had in Ryan and decided to give a relationship a chance. They dated happily for 10 years and had moved to BC in the meantime.

They went home to PEI for Christmas where he proposed using the community center billboard, Ryan had blindfolded Beth and drove her around their hometown, when they got to the community center he picked her up out of the car and placed her on the ground. When she took the blindfold off Ryan was on one knee under the giant sign that read ” Bethellen, will you marry me?” They were married April 25, 2012 in Cancun, Mexico and they brought me along :) We decided to do a one year anniversary shoot on Granville Island.

Stratamark
It’s an innovative silicone polymer gel product that is used for the effective prevention and immediate treatment of new stretch marks. It’s the first professional product in tis category and it contains no active ingredients and is completely easy and safe to use! We all know stretch marks can happen for a number of reasons (weight gain and rapid loos, pregnancy, or bodybuilding) and 80% of all women develop stretch marks during their lifetime. 
If you recently got some stretch marks and are stressing out a bit before the big dat, Stratamark is for you!

Strataderm
Strataderm is used for scar management and abnormal scar prevention.  It yields dramatic improvements in the treatment of old AND new scars. It too is the first professional product in its category and it will put the old Vitamin E to shame. There is nothing more embarrassing than a scar that you are trying to cover up on your wedding day, and this will start to show results in the first 30 days.
