Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. It is also one of the most expensive. According to theknot.com the average cost of a wedding in Indiana was $23,000. Brides.com reported that about 20 to 30 percent of wedding budgets are spent on decorations alone. “The Green Bride Guide” reports the average wedding produces 400 pounds of waste.
