Wedding Floral Pomanders
The pricey floral pomanders worked hard for their money: They hung from the altar during the ceremony, then were moved to the reception tables to be used as centerpieces.
How to budget your Wedding.
December 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Looking for some easy ways to save money on your wedding? Here are some ideas. Write out your budget before starting your search for Venues and Vendors. I find bride always look at vendor outside of their price. Are you considering having a smaller wedding party that will help? Reason why? Every bridesmaid or groomsman represents a dollar amt. (gift etc.). Back to venue; don’t pick a venue that needs tons of decorations and sprucing up. It will end up costing a bundle more and won’t look as great as a venue that is beautiful as it stand alone. You can cut cost by do-it-yourself project, whether it’s centerpieces or invitation. Believe or not it can be a fun project for you and your friends, plus it’s more affordable. Just knowing your budget and stick to it, will save you a lot of money in the long run.
