Weddings are famously expensive, with costs piling up from the venue to the flowers, catering, and a myriad of other essentials.

The expenses can quickly add up, making any opportunity to save money without compromising on quality a true blessing.

That's why it’s exciting to hear that a city right here in North Carolina has been named the most affordable wedding destination in the entire country.

The city in question? Asheville. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville offers a breathtaking backdrop for weddings, complete with stunning views that make for perfect wedding photos.

I can personally vouch for its charm, having attended a wedding there myself. The natural beauty of the area adds a magical touch to any celebration.

This ranking comes from research conducted by the family-owned fine jeweler Shane Co., which sought to identify the most and least expensive cities for weddings in the U.S. Asheville not only emerged as the most affordable wedding destination but also proved to be a highly desirable location for couples planning their big day.

Here’s a look at the average wedding costs in the top three cities:

• Asheville, NC: $23,285
• Sedona, AZ: $24,043
• Tampa, FL: $26,977

With its affordability and scenic beauty, Asheville stands out as a fantastic choice for couples looking to tie the knot without breaking the bank.
