IWED Uncut: An Event Designer Podcast
They say it'll be the BIGGEST day of your life...the most important, the most beautiful... and likely the most COSTLY... It's your wedding!
Did you know that the wedding of Prince Charles to Princess Diana would cost nearly $110 million US in today's money?
The wedding of Kim and Kanye back in 2014 was cool $2.8 million... Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were wed in 2012 at a private Italian villa for a whopping $6.5 million. In 2014, perpetual bachelor, George Clooney, finally tied the knot with Amal Alamuddin in a $4.6 million ceremony.
Of course, most weddings don't compare to those of the stars, but these are just some examples that contribute to weddings and events being a $70 BILLION industry. Even still, the average US wedding costs have skyrocketed even in recent years to roughly $38,000.
