Is wedding spending out of hand?
Country Life and Wedding Fairy editors debate whether pricey weddings are over the top
The modern wedding has begun to take on the look of a vulgar "arms race", a lifestyle magazine has warned.
Country Life has urged people to rein in spending- saying weddings, and their constant cataloguing on social media, may put couples under pressure to spend big.
Editor of Country Life, Mark Hedges, says that online platforms have "driven everyone to show off".
George Watts from Wedding Fairy UK is currently working on a six-figure wedding budget that he argues is not about competing with others, but is just about being "creative".
