BEAUTIFUL WEDDING FLOWERS ON A MODEST BUDGET

There is one thing that everyone craves for, and that is called style. So many make claims of possessing style, but truly speaking few understand its essence. Style is not bought and sold in the market, and spending huge amounts of money does not always translate into fine taste. Style is something more complicated than that.

Talking of weddings and the flowers that must grace the wedding, style and money may not follow the same tune. But there is good news. Nowadays arranging of flowers is bending more towards minimalism. So it’s a lot less difficult to come up with an eye-catching interior design on reasonable finances. So what is the way of reducing the cost of flowers without compromising with style? Let me present you with some terrific ideas, like designing a motif of flowers for the wedding that at once easy on the pockets and speaks of style too.

Have an Intimate Bridal Party

If the list of invitees is kept to minimum, then the florist will have to design just that many boutonnieres and bouquets. This would result in quick savings that will not contradict your floral aspirations. And if there are too many close pals then think of giving them alternative important posts – like a ceremony reader.

Shrink the Guest List

You will have to adorn fewer isles at the ceremony if there are fewer seats to begin with. And lesser tables at the reception party of the wedding ceremony would indicate lesser floral decoration pieces to keep on them. The concept is this – that you will have fabulous arrangements – just not too many of them.

Go With the Season

Get a list of the flowers for that season in which your wedding is taking place. The flowers that bloom during the season are easier to get hold of and are seldom very expensive.

Keep It Simple Sista!

Irrespective of the season, there are a few kinds of flowers that would surely be costly to purchase. You can have a session with your florist to know your options. You can in fact make less costly flowers look as stunning as the expensive ones - pack together the same kind of flowers. If you have ever seen a bunch of daisies packed together, you will know what I am saying.

Consider Alternative Arrangements

You can also go in for the latest hot trend of the season – beautiful decorations with vegetables, fruits, or grasses. Go green, in other words. Another favorite idea is to scatter flower petals around votive candles. This would create a romantic effect without crippling you financially.

Choose a Naturally Beautiful Location

Call on Mother Nature for help, and who would ask for expensive designs for the wedding? If you plan to have your wedding during the beautiful season of spring in a garden, then no flower arrangement would be necessary at all. Similarly a beautiful church can do the décor trick for you because it would be splendid to look at by its own merit. Then again, during holidays many facilities are decorated anyways. Hence a December wedding might just give you breathtaking garlands and poinsettias without spending a single penny.

Pre-Wedding Pictures. Important? YES!

For those of you that have look around for wedding photographers, you might notice that the package often include pre-wedding pictures. If not, better to ask the photographer to include it as well in the price. Do not underestimate your pre-wedding picture because it can save you some money, time, and memorable shots!

Save some money? How? Pre-wedding picture can be your wedding decorations in your chosen wedding venue. It will be better if you have the pictures that could depict the story on how both of you met each other. If you do not have the old pictures, you can recreate them with the help of you wedding photographers. These pictures could be put in the entrance of your wedding venue and will surely attract the attention of the your wedding guest to give a little bit introductions about your love journey.

Saving time and having memorable shots because you will have a picture as a couple in your relaxed time prior to your wedding day. I have seen a lot of wedding picture in the wedding day have bad results because the couple have tired and some of the make-ups have little bit smeared because of tears, sweats, or even kisses on the chick with wedding guests.

Choosing a wedding venue – Categorized into 3 wedding venues

Wedding venue in general can be categorized into 3, namely:

1. OWN venues. This is where the couple will host the wedding on the places that no need to pay for the venue. A common example is parents’ or relatives’ house. By default, these kinds of venues can save up your budget for wedding. Just take note if the venue can hold enough space for your wedding guests.

2. PUBLIC venues. Public parks, gardens, or beaches are considered public venue. In most countries, this could be a “budget” solution for wedding venues. However, you need to check if permits or licenses are required before holding your wedding in public places. Set a side enough budget to process the permits to your local government. Aside from its budget venue, public venue is a great place to express yourself in unconfined atmosphere of a wedding.

3. RENTAL BASIS venues. This type is a common choice of the couple because it offers privacy and environment that the couple can choose from. There are a lot of places like auditoriums, club houses, country clubs, conference centers, convention centers, hotels, houses of worship, mansions, museums, resorts, hall, stadiums, yachts or cruise ships, and many more of places that you can thing of. Using rental basis allows you to think freely about the wedding theme that you want to apply on the wedding venues. Cost of wedding venues could be vary depending on the size and popularity. Some are even already fully booked for weekends for the whole year ahead.

Based on the categories above, couple should sit together to decide the wedding venues based on your wedding budget and preference. A common misperception is that to have OWN venue is always cheaper in term of total costs for the whole wedding costs. It is NOT always true. Wedding venue cost is only one of the costs of wedding budget, you might get a free venue but you need to order or prepare yourself for the food and decorations. Some RENTAL BASIS venues are often offering package for venue, food, and decorations so that you could save more for the whole cost of the weddings.

To avoid any misleading, try to make a list of your wedding costs in details. Compare each of the costs if certain wedding venue is selected. The most important is try to make your wedding planning as fun activities. For “soon to be” brides, if making a notes in a colorful note are fun, please do so. Do not stress out to much with the preparations. In the end, the wedding should be a joyful and memorable event of your life.

Think Twice on Your Wedding Photography and Decoration

Wedding means when two souls meet each other, so every person who marry to His/Her soul mate wants to keep those memories forever. The best way to keep those memories for your whole life is through pictures and movies, and you can remember these days with those pictures and movies anytime. But spending more then enough on this thing is simple useless. If you have few pictures of your wedding you can watch those with your partner anytime and it will give you a pleasure to watch those pictures, but if you have some big albums you even wont try to pick those, and in this way you can not enjoy it, because in this fast moving life no one has that much time to watch big albums or 7-8 hours movies.

Everyone likes to spend some time with his/her partner and enjoy some light moments with 20-30 pictures. I am not saying to go only for 20-30 pictures, but go only for that much which you can easily watch in your spare time and enjoy that. If you watch the big albums only thing which will come to your mind is, “why did I spend that much on these pictures?” So you can not enjoy those things. It is better to plan those things in advance.

Secondly as I wrote it is a great occasion for the couple who is going to marry, they would like to make it even wonderful with their friends and they spend a lot on the decoration of venue with flowers, presentation of food and crackers in the sky. Most of this means just throwing your valuable money in the dust bin. People hardly take a look on the wedding decoration, no one care about that after 10 minutes or so, so go for the cheap flowers, if possible ribbons, avoid crackers as this will give you joy for just few seconds and it also pollute our environment, do not go for big lighting decoration as it is nothing more then the use of electricity and a heavy bill.

Now a days weddings become the good outing for every one and as most of the people are professionals and everyone want to spend the time with their friends and want to talk about new ideas of business even on the weddings. So there is no use to spend a lot for those people, who came here to discuss matters, not enjoy the wedding.
