My bride that choose this simple backdrop was clever. The reception theme was the 40's so it needed to be very simple. We figured out that we could use the wall sconces, added greenery and vases of red roses on a black stand. I purchased the stands from my local craft store so they were very
inexpensive. The pictures were so beautiful, simple and it fit the theme very well.
Less is more in this
particular wedding. The reception carried out the 40's theme through out
the entire room. This cost them less than $100.00 to rent. By saving money on decorations they were able to spend money elsewhere like catering, flowers, and invitations.
Pick your theme well, some themed weddings are very very expensive. For instance planning a tropical wedding depending on the season can cost thousands if not planned well. Flowers can take half of your budget, when planning your event take time to make a plan. Start early in planning, be realistic in your desires, and just have fun planning.
