According to new research from The Knot Inc., “brides remain committed to planning a luxurious, memorable event and are willing to spend despite the state of the economy,” said Carley Roney, editor in chief of The Knot Inc. “In fact, approximately 1 in 5 brides are spending more than $30,000 on their wedding, and 12% of brides are spending more than $40,000.” Destination weddings are becoming more popular, and brides are increasingly using online wedding planning tools to prepare for the big day. More brides are using social media to communicate wedding details (a 78% increase since 2008) and creating/sending save-the-dates or invitations online (a 40% increase since 2008) as well as using an online RSVP service (a 31% increase since 2008) or setting up personal wedding websites (a 23% increase since 2008).
