From honeymoons to wedding attire, couples are finding ways to cut nuptial costs amid economic fluctuations.
As the economy tilts back and forth, Americans are adjusting their spending limits in all different categories, from groceries and shopping to vacations and entertainment.A national wedding spending survey from New Jersey's Provident Bank and market research firm Pollfish looked into just how much Americans are changing their wedding planning budgets this year due to economic hardship.
There were a multitude of reasons these respondents felt pushed to modify their wedding budgets: 31% said they didn't have enough personal savings, 35% said medical or emergency expenses left them without the funds, 17% cited a job loss or financial setback changing their plans, and 29% said they didn't have access to loans or credit.
Some are opting for cheaper wedding looks or smaller guest lists, while others are skimping on drinks and decor. About a third of respondents said they chose weekday or off-peak dates, and more than half of respondents said some traditional wedding customs are getting the boot to save them money.
