Wedding Inflation is at a all-time high in 2022. Just about every woman has planned their wedding, on a Pinterest board, since they were 13. If they tell you that they haven’t, then they are lying. That means when this day comes around, they have an expectation in their head of what they want their day to look like. With inflation going on in every aspect of life, budgets for weddings are skyrocketing. All the simple things like keeping family traditions, decorations, and having a secured date with a venue are all very costly. According to Shane McMurray (CEO of the Wedding Report), there will be 2.5 million weddings held in 2022. This is the most weddings the United States has seen since 1984.
Traditions
Each and every family has unique traditions they pass down from generation to generation. Weddings are one of the special days we see these traditions come to life. Who am I kidding, the whole concept of a wedding, celebrating two souls joining as one is a tradition in and of itself. Culture plays a big part in how we celebrate this chapter of one’s life. Just having your family be a part of your celebration is a cost. From your mom helping you get ready, dad walking you down the aisle, to every person who showed up for YOU. The more people you have, the more costly it will be.
Decorations
When planning a wedding, every little thing matters. Especially decorations. Attention to detail is so important, for the rest of your life you will have pictures of what your day looked like for you. In 2022 one of the biggest costs for a wedding is the flowers. Couples are averaging $700- $2500 for flowers alone. Wedding inflation has played a huge part in the cost of everything, including the flowers.
Venue Costs
Having a venue secured for your wedding day is SO important. You want a place where all your friends and family can come to celebrate YOU. With the number of weddings being planned and executed this year alone it may be very difficult to find somewhere that has your day open. The venue cost alone in the USA is averaging $13,000.
