Get Married recently conducted a survey of over 1, 500 brides to get insights and trends on their engagement and wedding planning habits. The results revealed that brides today are working within their budgets while still realizing the weddings they’ve always dreamed of! According to Wendy Cornblum of Get Married, “In today’s soft economy brides are definitely more budget conscious, however, 70% of brides are either pleasantly surprised with their budget or feel like everything they want will fit into their budget. So, while times may be tough, brides are still planning to have the wedding of their dreams. In fact, 92% of brides are personally paying for some portion of their wedding in order to ensure they get everything they want.Interestingly enough nearly 2/3 of brides are personally paying for their wedding invitations or wedding stationery. Today’s modern bride continues to embrace elements of tradition that reflect her bridal style and, in an era where so many invitations have become virtual and offered for free online, brides still consider the paper invitation to be an important element of the wedding.”We of course love custom creating invitation suites, and we are so pleased to know that invitations are still so important to a majority of brides today!
