This Wedding Color Costs What?

Did you know that your preferred wedding colors are an excellent predictor of how much money your wedding will cost?

Sounds crazy but it is true. And, if you think about it, it makes sense.  When you think of gold, black or champagne, you tend to picture very elegant (think, costly) weddings. But, have you seen gold as the primary color at a barn venue? But you have probably seen blue or brown at this style venue.

On the other hand, what primary color do you imagine would be found at an evening ceremony in an exclusive country club? Definitely gold or black, correct?

Of course, these are not hard-and-fast rules. There are always exceptions. And, it’s always wise and cost effective to match your color hues to your wedding season. But, as you think about your dream wedding and the “perfect” color scheme, recognize that your natural preferences have a bearing on the wedding style that you desire and this style has a natural associated cost. To see some actual numbers, check out our Wedding Cost Estimator. You can run as many estimates as you like and play with various options to understand the costs.

But, when all is said and done, do not be afraid that your preferences might price you out of your dream wedding. There are many factors that influence the wedding cost. A key factor is the number of guests. Your guest count will dictate the size of your venue, food and beverage, rental, floral and many other costs. 

The price of a wedding is truly a combination of many things. There are lots of moving parts. You will have to consider your must-haves versus the nice-to-haves as you define your budget.
