This infographic was submitted to us by the folks at Brilliance.com, who took a look at the extravagance that was Kim Kardashian’s wedding.

This infographic is a charming baby pink with staggeringly enormous cost implications. A $2 million ring?! Yikes, Kim. $20 million works out to 714 years of work for the average Joe, and she flushed it down in a matter of hours. At least she stayed reasonable with the $13 cloth napkin on the registry. Frivolity aside, this infographic does a pretty good job of packing all the source information into data viz, staying on topic, and putting things into perspective. I really like the comparison of other things $20 million could buy. It’s nice to know that her public release of the information paid for her wedding almost entirely.

The information here is really well organized and nicely laid out. If I could ask for more data viz, I’d like to see visualization of all the things that could be bought for $20 million. I’d love to see 284 new model Lexus sedans (or, more likely, 28.4, with each one representing 10 cars).

I’m also a little confused about the fondant box: “More than 16 tons of fondant is consumed each year in the US. 16 tons.” Maybe a visual was meant to go there, and it was overlooked? Just something to note.

Overall I’d give this infographic a B+. It’s pretty darn informative, tells a complete story and has no unnecessary text–there just seem to be a few errors or missed opportunities holding it back. A couple more instances of data viz would really make this shine! (Get it? Brilliance.com?)

Today’s infographic comes to us from AffordableTungstenRings.com. It explains the difference between hiring a wedding planner or doing it all yourself. Upon submitting this infographic, the folks at ATR had the following to say:

Wedding planners can be quite expensive and often times very difficult to work with. Many brides choose to forgo a wedding planner and decide that with the help of family and friends they can plan their own wedding, but is it truly worth it?

All in all, this is an OK first start to an infographic, but not much of one. The design is sub par at best, with too many elements that look like buttons on an online store. While the “total cost” section has data visualization due to color coding, this information would be much easier to take in as a bar chart. There is opportunity for so much more with this infographic, but instead it just shows a list of numbers and doesn’t even include sources at the bottom, so how do I know these numbers are reputable?
