There is great news for Wedding Planners and Wedding related businesses – and with the current economic conditions we can all really use some! Demographically, a large number of U.S. women will be reaching the age range when most get married for the first time. Same sex weddings are also increasing because gay marriage is being legalized in more locations.

Read all about this predicted Wedding Boom and check out the graphs and other visuals including wedding statistics from The Wedding Report – an excellent source of extensive wedding market research. If you are a wedding planner or vendor, be sure to download the Bridal News Networks wedding trends reports because they contain valuable insights into where engaged couples are cutting back and where they are increasing spending.

This is especially important for wedding planners, wedding photographers and videographers as that is one area where couples getting married like to cut back – and one that can result in wedding photo horror stories about losing the images from a wedding! Knowing that this is a concern, you can be proactive about addressing this on your Web sites.

If you have a wedding related business or are an affiliate for one, now is the perfect time to ramp up your efforts in Affiliate and  Social Media Marketing.  Our favorite wedding community OneWed declared January 4, 2010 Matrimony Monday.
