How much does a Western wedding cost?

My church wedding and expenses

Our wedding was a simple one. There was no wedding invitation, everything was planned by myself:)

Because I was afraid of the various etiquette in traditional wedding ceremonies, and my mother-in-law was in poor health, our two families sat together during the Spring Festival. We had a meal together and changed our tune, and we passed. Then we invited colleagues and close friends to attend our church wedding alone, which was a win-win situation. Otherwise, if one of the elders had conservative ideas, my church wedding would definitely be ruined. I suggest that JMS who want to hold a church wedding but are afraid of objections from their elders can try my method:) Simply organize it separately for family, relatives, colleagues and friends, and you can experience the sweet ceremony twice:) But the premise is that you must It’s only possible to get your husband’s support:)

It’s best to book the ceremony time with the church priest 2 months in advance, because more and more new people are going to church now:)

After the wedding ceremony, the wedding banquet was booked at the Western restaurant of Tianlun Songhe Hotel, which was only a few steps away from the church, thus saving the futile drive from the church to the hotel.

Okay, let’s first introduce the cost of our wedding:

Wedding dress (long tail + steel group support): ￥585 Wukesong Photographic Equipment City

Note: At first I bought an ordinary wedding dress. In order to have a better effect in the church, I went back and changed it to a long tail. My colleagues agreed that it still looks good:) I recommend it to those who want to hold the ceremony in the church. Sisters, it’s better to just buy a wedding dress with a long tail

Dress: ￥350 Wukesong Photographic Equipment City

Note: Because I am too plump, I will not wait until I get the pre-ordered dress back. , I really thought it was ugly, so I was ready to throw it away. My friend gave me a three-piece Yiyao light pink suit. The top and skirt were edged with pink beads. It looked very sweet. I bought it at a contemporary mall. After the 10% discount, it was about RMB 1,490; I decided to wear this outfit at the wedding banquet:) And it can also be worn on formal occasions in the future. Personally, I don’t think it is necessary to wear a dress. Try to reduce one-time consumption. This is MM who knows how to live a good life.

LG’s clothes were given by relatives; ￥0 yuan

Church donation: ￥2000

Wedding ring: ￥6560 (bought from Caibai, me and LG spent a long time shopping before buying a pair of identical white gold rings with small diamonds)

Invitation: ￥90 (60 pieces, bought on the 2nd floor of Wantong)

Sign-in book: ￥20 (Wantong, I didn’t know that the hotel could give it away after buying it, but it was unused)

Colorful flowers: ￥100 (Wantong, and spraying anything is not allowed in the church)< /p>

Makeup application: ￥680 (The person doing makeup that day was the BOBO beauty who is very famous in the industry, haha, I think I am very lucky)

Wedding pair + ring box: ￥115 (bought from Zhenai Zhenai in Beijing, and planned to put it in the front of our car; the bear is very beautiful, the only shortcoming is that it sheds, and I feel sorry for my black sweater...)

Shoes: ￥ 454 (bought by Baisheng)

Wedding banquet decoration (1 bouquet, 10 corsages, 8 table flowers) ￥600 (I don’t plan to spend too much money on these places, because Choose the buffet at Songhe Western Restaurant, where the decoration is pretty good; if you order at Yuquanying Flower Market, they can deliver it to the hotel on the morning of the wedding)

Wedding banquet: 6,000 (we have 60 people per party) Guests. The half-time package is based on the number of people, 100 yuan per person; LG and I went there once before and it was pretty good, including salmon, crabs, shrimps, and various desserts (I love their cheesecake). Yogurt and coffee are very good value in my opinion; however, their usual price is only 68/person; half-time package is at least 100/person, which is frustrating! LG and I didn’t even bother to book the wedding. It’s 8,000 yuan (the hotel provides sign-in books, cakes, champagne towers, projectors, speakers, etc.;)

Wedding candy (chocolate) Cadbury wedding candy, 4 large boxes, RMB 275

Hongtashan 4 cigarettes, ￥340

30 bottles of Great Wall Dry Red, ￥690, 8 bottles of King of Mongolia, ￥304, 1 bottle of champagne, ￥19.8; total: ￥1014 (bought at Huatang Supermarket. Ours Those friends are really good at drinking. I was so sweaty that I didn’t even have the last bottle left, haha)

Photography: ￥0 (Many of our friends are photography enthusiasts. Every time we go out together, we all They are well-equipped with long guns and short cannons, and their skills are great, so this money can be saved; my friends are really great and took a lot of beautiful photos for me)

Generally. The cost was about 23,000.

There was also an incident. When the makeup artist was doing my hair that day, the electric curling iron accidentally burned a big hole in the hotel carpet, and we paid another RMB 500 for compensation. Haha:) Remind JMS to pay attention, don’t make mistakes like ours:)

I hope my wedding method can provide some reference for JMS:)

“The love of this life, Perfect because of today.

”

On March 12, it was very windy and cold at Wangfujing Catholic Church in Beijing, but the bright sunshine made up for these small regrets.

My wife and I are among the guests. With the blessings of relatives and friends, they walked into the marriage hall hand in hand.

I am happy, and I hope to bring this happiness to everyone and share it together!

And the whole wedding process.
