Weddings see impacts from inflation

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) – The wedding industry is seeing the impact of inflation.

Some local vendors say while they’re seeing the number of weddings they’re doing go up the costs of putting a wedding on are also rising. A local bridal store says they’ve had to increase prices for wedding dresses.

“Dress prices keep going up. I try to keep things as, you know, budget-friendly as I can and kind of know the market and what price point we should be at. But we have had to adjust prices a little bit,” Erynn DeRycke, a wedding vendor, said.

This is part of an ongoing trend. The average couple spent $27,063 on their wedding in 2021, up from $20,286 in 2020, according to The Wedding Report.
