weddings who pays for what

Traditionally when planning a wedding, who pays for what? of course in todays society with many different cultures there are many variants to this

When planning a wedding, one soon realises that no matter how you look at it, it could cost you a tidy sum. We have been collecting data from our brides over the past ten years and it never ceases to amaze us how much can be spent on a wedding. Some couples choose to have casual intimate affairs and have spent as little as $1,000.00, whilst others opt for something a little more grand and opulent and have spent as much as $80,000.00. However, no matter what your budget, we all would like to know who pays for what.

We have put together a list, by category, of the key items involved in organising a wedding. Alongside we indicate ‘traditionally’ who has been responsible for these items, bearing in mind that not everyone sticks to tradition.
