Castle Catering Releases New Info-Graphic on Wedding Costs and Traditions

Something Blue Wedding Traditions, Old and New

(I-TravelNewswire.Com, May 23, 2013 ) Pasadena, CA -- Castle Catering recently launched a new infographic on wedding costs and traditions. With insightful facts and figures, this informative piece is a must for any couple about to tie the knot. The infographic also features adorable images, along with a full breakdown of wedding costs and fees. Based on the infographic, there are four important terms every bride to be should know.

This includes “something old”, which represents continuity and the everlasting bond between the bride and her family. While her last name will change, the bride’s maiden identity will always remain part of her. “Something old” can include vintage garter belts, along with family lockets and heirlooms. It can also include old photographs of the bride and groom, as well as vintage family broaches or crests.

“Something new” refers to the new union between the bride and groom. It also relates to living happily ever after. “Something new” can include the bride’s new wedding gown, along with new makeup, hairstyle, and shoes. It can also include floral arrangements, as well as monogrammed necklaces and the keys to a new house or car.

“Something borrowed” closely relates to something old. It can also relate to something new after the marriage. This term reflects the everlasting support family and friends will provide to the new couple. Borrowing items is very common between newly married brides and loved ones or friends. This can include borrowing your sister’s wedding shoes, or asking grandma for her secret cake recipe. The bride can also borrow those special earrings her mother wore on her special day. Other items include lipstick, mother’s pearls, or even that vintage bible from grandma and grandpa.

There is also the popular term, “something blue.” The color blue symbolizes purity, loyalty, faithfulness, interminable love, and fidelity in the new marriage. As a result, brides to be may wear blue flowers or even blue nail polish. They can also wear blue garters and shoes, along with blue stitching and jewelry. Even bridesmaids can wear blue dresses to establish uniformity at the wedding.

While these new and old wedding traditions are certainly fascinating, the infographic also highlights the average costs of weddings. Based on this informative piece, the average cost of a wedding is $27, 021. This, however, does not include honeymoon costs. The average cost of booking a reception venue is $12,116. When planning a wedding, couples also have to factor in the cost of the rings, along with wedding planner fees and even transportation.

Other facets to consider include the wedding cake, reception entertainment, wedding gown, floral arrangements, photographer, DJ/band, and especially the invitations and catering. There are 2.5 million weddings that take place each year. Approximately $70 billion is spent on these weddings and related costs.
