Brides gather for wedding preparation

Posted: Updated:
EVANSVILLE, IN (WFIE) -

Hundreds of brides-to-be gathered at the Vanderburgh County 4-H Center to get started on planning their big day.

Dozens of vendors were on hand, including catering, jewelry, dresses and of course wedding cake.

According to economists, on average couples spend around $26,000 on their weddings and organizer Nikki Davis says many brides are tightening their belts.

"It just depends on the particular bride, they're going to cut back on what's not as important to them, a lot of them like having the photography and the videography but they may cut back on their invitations.  But again, it just depends on the bride and what she's looking to accomplish for her big day," Davis said. 

The event also included a drawing for a vacation.
