Wedding ceremony is the happiest hour in life, but preparing for a ceremony can be extremely expensive, especially for young brides and bridegrooms. Now they have a new choice, to go shopping by groups.

Take wedding photography as an example, 30% off will be the best result of negotiation of a couple, but a group of 10 pairs will surely make it to 50% off! If they can find an online photo studio, the price might be even lower, as online studios don't need to rent a shop.

There are two ways of group shopping. The first is the traditional way. In this way, the brides and bridegrooms go to wedding ceremony agencies by the groups, thus they can enjoy all the services at a reasonable price. The second way is via the Internet. Today there are many websites specializing in group wedding shopping, through which the couples can get in touch with the wedding ceremony agencies all over China. The websites also make it much easier to organize a group wedding shopping.

Experts say as the group-shopping market still needs to be regulated, customers should choose these big agencies, and never forget to sign a service contract with them. Remember to keep the invoices, in case problems occur.
