Every bride-to-be loves to think of their wedding site as a blank canvas waiting to be transformed into a fairytale setting. Your wedding venue decor can truly determine the ambiance of your wedding day celebration. Some will argue that your dream decor will inevitable break the bank; but don’t worry because in the world of budget friendly weddings - less can sometimes mean more! Take a look at these cost saving tips to find simple yet beautiful ways to get the most fairytale bang for your buck.
“Make the right choice from the beginning.”
Choose a wedding site that will work with you - not against you. You can save a lot of time and money by finding a venue that fits your wedding motif - so you don’t have to decorate around it. Some wedding locations are meant to fit a brides decor. Sites such as gardens, beaches, historical buildings sometimes have designated areas that are used specifically for themed wedding ceremonies.
“Get the family involved.”
A great and inexpensive way to add meaningful decor is to hang pictures in stylish frames of family members from both sides of the family. These pictures can used in your guest book, hung around the venue or artistically made into centerpieces at each table. Black and white photos create a nice contemporary look while photos printed in sepia accent any traditional wedding theme.
“Only decorate where your guests can see.”
We often can get carried away decorating sections of our wedding venue with out stopping to think if it’s even necessary! If you’re looking to save a few dollars, focus on decorating only the main parts of your wedding site: the dining area, the dance floor area, etc. Another great tip is to designate your exit and entrance ways at the same location. By blocking off any other entrances or exits you’ll save money by only decorating one area.
“The right lighting is priceless.”
Investing in the right lighting effects can be incredibly budget friendly. Perfect lighting can transform any boring room into something extraordinary. By brightening certain areas and darkening others you can determine what parts of your wedding venue are highlighted and what parts aren’t. Lighting effects can also be used if you only have a few decoration pieces. By placing up-lights at each piece you can enlarge their presence and emphasize their beauty.
If hiring a lighting technician is out of the question, try to create these effects on your own with different sized candles. Regardless of whether the effects are done by a professional or inexpensively on your own, the result will always be romantic and elegant.
