Wedding cost??
I know it's personal, but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share the total cost/breakdown of their wedding. Mine hasn't happened yet, but I think we will be around 15,000$.
Breakdown:
Venue 7,000 taxes and tips 1,500
Those include my ceremony fees food and alcohol, my dj and cake
Dress 1,100 prob 1,500 after alterations
Photographer 1,500
Invites 200, stamps 200$
DIY thing 500$
Ceremony and reception extras 500$
Some of those are just estimates since I haven't purchased everything yet.

Re: Wedding cost??
like PP asked: how many guests are you having? I live in Denver and just had my wedding in nov. we had about 145 guests and spent over 25,000
Of course the less guests you have the less it can cost
[QUOTE]My date is Aug 5th it's a Friday too. I think July 5th is an awesome date, you could go see different firework shows around the world for your anniversaries. I haven't been to that dress store maybe ill have to check it out.

</div><div>Your wedding either is on a Monday or you are posting the wrong date. August 2nd is Friday. I know because mine is the next day. You should check out the Eco Bride store in Littleton. They have used dresses, but I heard they are in great condition, clean and affordable.</div>
My wedding is budgeted at $9000, and we're pretty sure it will come in close to that. We expect 110 people and are getting married at Washington Park Boathouse. Here's a quick breakdown of costs from most to least expensive:
Catering: 3800
Rentals: 1400
Photographer: Friend for free
Dress & Accessories: 850
DJ: 725
Bartender & Booze: 650
Venue: 610
Gifts & Favors: 400
Flowers: None
Invitations: Friend for Free
Wedding Insurance: 260
Decor: 150
Rings: None (we decided we didn't want them)

[QUOTE]No dress yet. I had been putting it off and now I feel so rushed that its been tough to find anything I like. I hate the idea of dragging a super expensive dress around in the dirt on the field but I haven't found anything in a lower price range that felt right. What's your date?

[QUOTE]Traphael, Who are you having cater your wash park boathouse wedding and when are you planning on having your wedding there? We want to have our wedding there, but we haven't booked yet. I was crunching numbers and I figured it would cost around $12,000. I don't have anyone to do any freebies though.

<div>Michelle, we are having our wedding in June (see my reply to your other post about wash park). You might want to call denver parks and rec asap about reserving the boathouse... I spoke to the wash park boathouse coordinator a couple weeks ago and he said they were all booked for the 2013 season, but there might be one or two open days left. And even if there isn't, I have some other ideas you might find useful. I'm really excited to help if I can.</div>
