EASY AFFORDABLE DECORATIONS

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.

ADD FLAIR TO YOUR TABLES

Simple additions to your tables will add romance. Instead of using small disposable glasses try renting real glasses. Ice tea glasses are especially nice, they hold a lot as well as they look good. By adding small things it really makes a difference. Take time to think things through when it comes to planning your decorations for your guests. Yo don't need to spend a large amount of money, just make it simple.
