Well I will take the chance and give you a resonable idea..along with some charming money saving ideas....
My number one answer is this.
At first it may not sound appealing ...but You can find the most beutiful wedding gowns ever ...at a second hand store...and I can tell you that because Ive got a collection of georgous white some off white wedding gowns .the avergage price?...about 65 dollars for a designer gown.
have you ever thought of having the wedding outside?...If the weather is good....it is just the cost of chairs ..which is not much ..or you can borrow from a few for nothing......i think ougtside weddings a great....kids like them also indoor weddngs can be hard on a young one...or your home or parents or a favourite aunt may be a perfect setting for you to join with your partner...and thats also a free one ...I went to a couples weddng and it was in an apartment ...but it was set up nicely and the furniture moved and was purfect for them. and of course no one had to go anywhere for the reception.each one of those ways are charming and with the cake and refreshments ..the cost is just a few hundred.... im all for inexspensive, elegant, and beutiful memories....You can have a beutiful intimate wedding at a chaple where there biz is weddings and they have it all thee for you for maybe 2-3 thousand....and i truly hope you can use my ideas and i wish you and you husband to have the best life and all the happyness ever!!!!!

A descent wedding? If you have it on ski slope?
A decent wedding - including food and dresses etc, about $6000. Depends on the number of guests, if you have a three course sit down dinner or a buffet, an open bar or a paying bar etc.
Bear in mind that most of your friends will hate you if they have to pay for their own drinks!

Ours was about $8,000 for everything..even with having the top caterer in town. We opted for a small guest list and a lot of DIY projects. I used in-season flowers (peonies and hydrangeas for May), chose the buffet vs. sit-down and held everything at a local nature preserve for a small fee. It had the look and feel of a fancy garden party and everyone thought we spent a lot more than we did. You can have a great wedding for a lot less than what many people spend if you know a few tricks and tips!

You don't need money for a descent wedding. All you need is a loving, caring future spouse, family and friends. That's it.

it depends on your definition of decent. i only plan on spending at most 5000 dollars, including honeymoon. however i'm taking car of alot of the details like favors, clothing and invitations myself. however my wedding is fairly small (50-60 guests tops), and family and friends are helping put things together as well. if you don't mind doing this, than you can save a bundle...leaving more for the honeymoon. plus it can help get everyone involved in the fun of plannning your wedding! think that they're kind of like wedding planners, only they're not strangers.

The average US wedding costs 20k+...you can do something nice for 100 people with 15-20k...the more people, the more the price will go up. I have seen extravagent weddings that cost upwards of 100k...

$10,000 but it all depends on what things you wanna have on your wedding day though. Some people may save on the gown, or if decent decoration is fine for you, you may save a lot too.

Just be happy to have a groom there. That's decent enough for most women! LOL

i would say about 8000 us dollars
depends on what you want.
me and my fiance know alot of people who are doing us "favors" so ours is not gonna be too bad.
the reception costs the most.
