I think we spent about $7000 - $8000 on our wedding. The photography was the most expensive thing as that was something we were picky about so wanted a really good photographer. I did get an expensive silk dress which was a bit dumb because where the heck am I going to store it and its not really something I'll wear again in a hurry! Apart from that, we hired a hall, had the ceremony outside with a celebrant, and got a catering company to bring their food van and feed everyone. We also made all our invitations and bomboniere which saved us a bucketload. We put the bomboniere together two days before we got married, lol.
