Bridal Business Is Now Big Business Spending Averages $4.5 Billion Ytearly By GAY PAULEY t United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP)—Happy is the bride the sun shines on. . .and happy are the retailers catering to her needs. The bridal business has become big business and manufacturers hear a cash register jingle throughout the wedding march. The research department of Retailing Daily estimated that spending for the bride averages about $4,500,000,000 a year. This sum covers everything from a bridal gown to the pots and pans for the naw house or apartment. It includes the engagement and wedding rings, gifts to—and from—the couple, the reception, even the honeymoon. Retailers look happily to the future too — they estimate that marrjages will increase to 2.500,000 yearly by 1975. Last year, the U.S. Census Bureau said, the total was 1.569.000. . —_. June was the peak month, followed closely by August and September. V Retailing Daily did not try to estimate how the total spending is doled out. But other organizations have. "We figure each bride means about $3,000 in sales," said Mrs. Dorothy Cavanaugh, who as head of the bridal department at Macy’s, each year helps outfit 10,000 brides. "But only a small part of that is on the gown alone... she spends from $l5O to $250 on Mrs. Cavanaugh also noted two other trends. ‘Brides are younger, on the average, each year,” she said. "And the formal wedding is making a comeback." Modern Bride magazine recently hired an outside research organization to make a comprehensive study of bridal spending and came up with these findings: By the end of eight weeks of marriage, the newlyweds are responsible for the concentrated purchase of $3,224 in merchandise and Si.■vices—from honeymoon to home furnishings. The cost of trousseau runs about $243; cost of the wedding dress alone averages $96; cost of bridesmaids’ gowns, each $32. The study showed the bridegroom spends an average of $399 for the engagement ring; $97 is spent on the wedding ring. The magazine estimated cost of the wedding ceremony and reception at $575. Cost of the honeymoon averaged $361, or 27 per cent more *than the couple had expected to shell out. Its study also showed today's bride holds a job and plans to continue working after the wedding. ___ Trade in a good town — Decatur
