Even those brides who live in the most exclusive Chicago zip codes, whose typical wedding costs can top $100,000, have been re-thinking the spendness madness, according to The Chicago Tribune. One such Good Bride demonstrated her fiscal panache by making her invitations, monogramming her own aisle runner, and other items, including eight flower balls for which the florist was going to charge $75 each. The author cites experts who predict a trend towards less wedding spending, and a good business market for stores that off DIY bridal merchandise. For example, we really love the look and price of these sandy print-yourself wedding fan programs by Martha Stewart at Walmart. Yes, they are using a little paper, but it's much more environmentally friendly than air-conditioning. I'm really thinking simple beach wedding. ARTICLE LINK
