Wedding couples can claim tax deductions on certain expenses by donating to charities and nonprofits. According to the IRS, donations exceeding the fair market value of benefits received can be deductible. For example, if a church ceremony fee is structured as a charitable donation, the excess portion may be considered a deductible donation. Couples can also donate wedding items like flowers, gowns, and food to nonprofits, such as Brides for a Cause or homeless shelters.
