Paying for a wedding is no easy task, and expenses can vary by tens of thousands, depending on size, location, and type of event. We asked one recent bride to spill the beans — anonymously, of course — on every wedding-related expense, from the Valentino flats to the bridal bouquet, at her Texas wedding.

Our Texas wedding only included eight people, including us. We didn't send any invitations, and we did not have an engagement party, bridal shower, or a bachelorette party. We did not have a DJ at the reception or a brunch the day after.
We had a fabulous wedding...and that included my custom-made dress, his custom-made suit, my Valentino flats, a photographer, and a 12-course meal for all of our guests. We got to have the lavish wedding we wanted and an extravagant honeymoon without breaking the bank.
