Wedding Costs For the Newly Engaged Couple
Since December is the most popular month for wedding engagements, I thought I'd share the average 2010 costs for some common wedding budget items with all you newly engaged holiday couples out there.While all these figures are for 2010, you should use them as a "starter point" when creating your 2011 wedding budget:? The average cost for a wedding in 2010 was $23,867? The average cost spent for a honeymoon was $3,473? The average cost to rent a wedding tuxedo was $132? The average cost to preserve a wedding dress was $265? The average cost of a wedding veil was $118? The average cost to rent a wedding limo was $504? The average cost for a live wedding band was $1619? The average cost for a wedding bouquet was $140? The average cost for a wedding DJ was $741? The average cost for a wedding videographer was $1122? The average cost for a wedding guestbook was $54? The average cost for a wedding officiant was $220? The average cost for a wedding DJ was $741Remember, these are just average costs. Some couples spend way more on these wedding elements while others practically DIY these to a bare minimum. Either way, it's always good to know the median cost for what other planning couples are spending.Good luck with putting together your wedding budget, oh, and congratulations on your recent engagement!

Best of 2010 – Real Weddings – Kate and Gil
It's almost 2011, can you believe it? And what a past year it's been! To honor all that's happened in 2010, this week we'll be bringing you some of our most popular Real Weddings from throughout the year. We hope you enjoy them just as much the second time around (I know I do)! Then we'll see you back here on Monday, January 3rd when we'll be starting the new year off right with our all new Fashion Report featuring the Best Wedding Photos of 2010. Can't wait!
Today's Real Wedding is truly a feast for the eyes with its rich colors, stylish details and dramatic photographs by Joy Marie Photography, not to mention, the beautiful couple themselves. Kate and Gil, a vibrant couple with super fun personalities, were married last October in an outdoor ceremony at the Skirball Cultural Center, a contemporary art museum in Los Angeles. The bride, an interior designer, infused the entire event with striking jewel tones and stunning flower choices that truly made the evening pop.
The bridesmaids all wore eggplant-hued dresses byJim Hjelm and carried bouquets of green Cymbidium orchids and dark purple calla lilies. Kate herself wore a Simone Carvalli dress, and carried a traditional glass evil-eye for luck and protection. Her "something old" was a sentimental accessory, her grandmother's wedding band. Standing between two 12-foot Manzaneta trees, dripping with crystals, green orchids and draping moss, the couple recited their vows in a ceremony that incorporated both their Jewish and Catholic faiths, with passages that would truly speak to everyone in attendance. This wedding had no shortage of sentimental moments. When the father-of-the-bride first saw his little girl in all her wedding-day splendor, he burst into tears, and while reciting their vows, Gil let a single tear run down his cheek.
The couple and their guests moved inside for the reception where Kate was able to really play up her dream of combining bright, dramatic wedding colors with the sleek and contemporary feel of the museum and its gray stone architecture. Under pink and white lights, the couple had their first dance to Sade's By Your Side, which they chose for the truth in symbolism in the words - reminding each other that even at the lowest of lows, they would always stay together. Kate and Gil enjoyed their first dance as though no one else was even in the room, talking about how they excited they were for the rest of their lives!Thank you so much for sharing your wedding with us Kate and Gil! Gorgeous! For more information about all the professionals who contributed to this wedding, be sure to visit our Real Weddings library.
