How to Avoid "We dding Bill Blues"
By GERALD 8. 6NYDEB
United Press International
New York - IUPII - Memo
to the father of the bride: Is
that list of bills facing you
beginning to look like this?
Wedding gown, $125;
bridesmaid's gown, 40; moth
er's dress, $80; trousseau,
S387; ceremony and reception,
900.
If this is the way your list
looks (with many more items
yet to be figured), take heart'
There are "package deals" to
save you time, money and
lots of other problems.
Mrs. Alexandra S. Potts,
the bridal consultant and re
search analyst who supplied
this "average" list, explained
that the growing trend today
is toward small specialty
shops and separate depart
ments in large stores that
supply everything for the
wedding day in neatly-tied
packages costing from $500
to $3,000, and up.
Is Authority
Mrs. Potts has been In the
bridal field since 1931 and
today is editor in chief of
Modern Bride magazine. She
said that thousands of spe
cialty shops have developed
tie-ins with the baker, florist,
photographer and jeweler.
Secretaries, technicians, and
college graduates all have be
gun to lean on these package
deals for a formal wedding
with all the trimmings.
"Some concerns even will
throw in a limousine for a
wedding costing as low as
S50G," Mrs. Potts said.
"There are more girls to
day who have the possibility
of being a formal bride than
ever in the history of the
country," said Mrs. Potts.
"Twenty five years ago, this
was for just a few."
Costs Increase
But getting wed gets In
creasingly costly, she said.
Counting all costs, from the
engagement ring and wedding
day necessities to the honey
moon and furniture for the
first home, a young couple
(with Dad's help) may expect
to spend over $5,000 - an
increase of some 35 per cent
in the past eight years, she
said.
The most fussed-over item?
The wedding gown.
Mrs. Potts said that propor
tionately the working girl
will spend more on her wed
ding dress than a society gir).
"This is your day," the family
says - and Dad often will go
into debt to prove it, Mrs.
Potts said.
The working girl who
spends hundreds of dollars
for a wedding dress is not ac
customed to going to parties
every day of the year, she
said. "This is the big event
and she must have the best.
Employed Spend More
"In the case of the society
bride, most of the money is
spent on the trimmings
the reception, the flowers, the
photographs," Mrs. Potts
said. "A society girl may
spend $5,000 to $10,000 on
a wedding but she s apt to
spend only $250 on the wed
ding dress itself." A veil with
heirloom lace that's been in
the family for generations
usually will be used by the
society girl on her big day,
she said.
Mrs. Potts said that in
these days of high spiraling
costs, the man and girl often
pool resources to pay the
"overall cost of getting mar
ried." "It's not the thing to do,"
she said, "but in some in
stances new customs have
arisen and this has become
quite a trend with some peo
ple." Mrs. Potts listed these oth
er costs apart from the wed
ding itself:
Major appliances, $1,021;
living room furniture, $453:
dining room furniture, $256;
bedroom furniture, $419;

floor coverings $211; linens
and blankets, $249 and honey
moon $447.
"You have to use a barom
eter to judge the rise in
costs." Mrs. Potts said. "More
things are manufactured to
day. People are earning more.
And the standard of living is
higher."
"This," she smiled, "Is
America."
