Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

The cost of a traditional wedding seems to be constantly climbing. Brides magazine recently stated the average wedding now costs £27,000. Efforts to have all the bells and whistles without breaking the bank are pushing up sales in craft shops. Hobbycraft have said that the sale of wedding accessory crafts has grown by more than a fifth last year alone, as customers do their own decorations, cards, candles, flowers and clothes... So, no stress there then? Simon Hoban has been to meet a bride and groom who have done the hand-crafted wedding. First broadcast on You & Yours, 20 February 2017.
