Save On The Cost Of Your Wedding Using Online Wedding Vouchers

As I am sure may or may not be aware, the average cost of a wedding in the UK is now 15,000+ and rising. I didnt believe it when I first heard it. However when you start looking into it, 15,000 is not a lot of money in terms of what it will buy you.

Consider the following list of wedding related products and services:

Balloons, Bridalwear, Cake Makers, Car Hire, Catering, Chocolate Fountains, Coach Hire, Dance Instruction, Dentists, DJ Hire / Disco, Dry Cleaning, Favors, Fireworks, Fitness Training / Advice, Florists, Formal Wear, Gyms / Health Clubs, Hair & Beauty, Hotels / Venues, Jewellers, Lingerie, Make Up,

Marquees, Musicians / Bands, Photographers, Solicitors, Stationery, Tiaras / Accessories, Toastmaster, Videography, Wedding Cars, Wedding Gifts, Wedding Planners, Wine Merchants and much more.

All these are services which you may or may not require when you get married. However a lot of costs will be incurred not matter how big or small your wedding is. As an example let me show you the following breakdown of costs which I took from an online wedding cost planner which can be found at http://money.uk.msn.com/planning/gettingmarried/wedding_cost_planner.aspx

Assuming you just stick with the default costings that the planner suggests which are in my opinion at best over optimistic then the results are still pretty scary. Here is the breakdown of costings:
