Lavish spreads in wedding magazines create envy in penny-pinching couples

A Calgary wedding planner says couples are suffering serious wedding envy as the economic downturn requires them to cut back, but bridal magazines continue to show lavish ceremonies, Ciara Daykin of Firefly Occasions, said in a release
“I have brides and grooms come to me and tell me that they are really upset because the weddings in the magazine seem so amazing and they actually have a bit of wedding envy as they don’t think that their budget will afford them the opportunity for that wedding magazine look.”
Her cures? Renting lighting. Using candlelight. Foregoing flowers for feathers and branches. And not getting too hung up on having everything match.

Daykin said that what makes a wedding magazine-worthy wedding is that, “the couple’s personality shines through in all their wedding details and that the wedding is unique to them.”
