Wedding Planning in Today’s Economy and How American Bride is helping Couples Reduce Their Bottom Line
With all the talk
these days about a slowing economy and our spending habits, talk for
many also turns to the cost of weddings. Hopefully those of you planning
for the big day have been stashing away some savings preparing for the
occasion.
While many couples are seeing themselves, as well as the grooms family
contributing to today’s weddings, father and mother of the bride
traditionally still see this day as a huge investment.
While some couples are wondering how or if they can have the wedding of their dreams, American Bride is working closely with our vendors on restructuring their wedding packages to make them more affordable for the bride and groom without diminishing quality.
Attending an American Bridal Show is more important now than ever. Each year about 10,000 brides attend our shows and over the past several months we have seen an increase in attendance. Couples find that attending bridal shows is an investment of wedding planning time well spent that will help save toward the bottom line. Helping couples save not only time, but also money by working with wedding professionals to offer more cost effective and better priced wedding goods and services, is the American Bridal Show’s main goal.
Recent examples of promotions developed in conjunction with American Bridal to make weddings more affordable are as follows.
We’re working with Reception Sites to offer special all inclusive wedding packages for shorter notice (6- 8 months) dates and off peak time packages (Dec. through March or Fridays and Sunday evenings) to provide the same facilities and services and great menus at a more affordable price structure.
We are working with our photographers and videographers to find new ways of pricing, packaging, and paying for wedding day coverage to offer small affordable packages which guarantee excellent wedding day photos and can always be added to before or after the wedding to include more elaborate albums, photos and similar enhancements.
For wedding day transportation we have been helping many brides find the most reliable, cost effective, fun and elegant transportation. We work with all industry leaders in luxury transportation who can always offering the newest, largest, most cost effective options to reliably and safely transport guests in incredible style and luxury.
For wedding day entertainers, we have been working with band and dj companies on developing more options to have smaller packages or groups available that couples feel they can comfortably afford. Later, as the wedding approaches and additional funds may be available, add ons to the band or dj package can be made.
