Budget Wedding Ideas (Source: dilshil.com)

The wedding banquet

You should not save here because all the restaurants have the minimum cost for the banquet menu. Pricing restaurants in major cities can be divided into different categories, so you could definitely find something to match your needs. In order to save on the banquet, be ready to modify the format of the event. You could invite guests to a dinner party and not to a feast. Also focus on the atmosphere, rather than on food. In this case, it is appropriate to make invitations that reflect the specific focus of the celebration.

Wedding decor and flowers

This is one of the most expensive components of any wedding. But if you want to save, let us focus only on some elements.  It is important to consider the point where the flowers should be placed to design a wedding look complete and without empty seats. Everything rests on your willingness to compromise and seek innovative solutions. If you are lucky and do not need saving, let decorators and florists to show imagination.

Wedding photography

Here the word ‘save’ should definitely be forgotten.  The average price of a good wedding photographer ranges from 700 to 1500 dollars. If you are offered lower than the price, be confident that it is either a novice photographer not entirely confident in his abilities, or he does not have a very high-quality equipment.  Budget wedding ideas cannot find their place in this area. Your wedding album will last for life and you surely do not want to have unprofessional photos.

Wedding ceremony

Here I mean not only a master of ceremonies, but also a set of other components: musical design, décor, programs. I am deeply convinced that the wedding ceremony is one of the main components of any wedding. Even if it will exit the ceremony and choose a light buffet, all guests will remember this touching moment. And why not? Since we want to find optimal solutions, we can take risks and do as we want and afford.

Musical arrangement

The most economical option is to hire a skilled DJ. But this is already quite an extreme measure. I strongly recommend having a band. If you want to save money, you can invite a novice team, which is happy to perform for a small fee. But in this case it is important to understand that the quality of performers in any case will be considerably less than that of professionals.

Register your marriage abroad can be both real and symbolic. In the first case, your signature will be quite formal and a certificate issued by the official representatives. Basically, these weddings are conducted in formal organizations at the City Hall.  However, a set of countries are very limited in what concerns the registration and they are divided into two groups, differing in the venue of the wedding ceremony. The first group includes the European countries: Italy, Greece, Austria, Iceland, United Kingdom (Scotland), Croatia, Greece, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Cyprus. The ceremonies take place here in the old palaces or castles where kings once married. A second group includes ‘sea’ countries such as Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Seychelles, Barbados, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Fiji and Goa. They will offer you a ceremony in the open air.  But if you want to arrange a symbolic register, this will have absolutely no legal consequences. This ceremony can be quite varied and places to have wedding receptions can be quite incredible!

Your holiday will be no less colorful and memorable if you spend it in Bali. At your request, organize a wedding in traditional style. In Bali, the meaning of the ceremony is to send each other various objects of sacred significance. For example, a narrow white half-meter rope, bound out of the twelve strands means the willingness of men and women to be bound by strong bonds of marriage.

What could express the spring euphoria and unspeakable joy for the long-awaited sun better than rich and bright colors? Only fireworks of multicolored confetti! Use only the most fashionable colors and their combinations: purple, lilac. Purple looks wonderful with dark and light gray and the contrasting black and white, orange, terracotta and ‘Sicilian orange’ color are in a perfect harmony with the sky blue, turquoise and saturated spring green. Given the wedding season almost all the colors will be the heralds of spring: the yellow sun, juicy fuchsia and sweet lavender.  Because this season is so full of charm and delicacy, why not use it for creating your dream wedding invitations? All it takes is to properly match the colors and that little piece of paper will indeed be a spring masterpiece.

The option of a chair cover transparent and frilly is quite unusual. One can also opt for covers whose texture recalls wool. Taffeta fabric with feathers, frilly designs, sequins or sparkly embroidered fabrics are just some of the options you have. Do not forget the play of light; some fabrics are luscious, so in this case covering one half of the chair seems like a good idea!

The decorative hanging letters attached to the back of the chair are a good alternative. To customize the decor, the chair should be as chic as every detail of the decor. Letters and monograms are emerging as a pretty trend original and youthful. You can decorate the chairs with a cover embroidered with the initials of the newlyweds: handwritten letters embroidered on a white cover are very stylish. The wedding monograms can even be homemade: letters painted on cardboard, decorated, on which you can glue flowers, decorations or greenery. Many married choose the first letter of their first name or even the MRS. & MR. sign! If you do not like the concept of big letters, then choose a smaller card to customize.

Are you afraid to do too much with the chair cover? The ribbon is a simple decoration for wedding reception chairs that even today has its wonderful effect. More modern than the chair cover, the ribbon is a nice decoration because it hangs everywhere: on the back, the bars of the chair, or simply tied at the back of each chair. You choose your ribbon depending on the color of your wedding, of course! You also could choose a ribbon that brings color to the decor of room! One can choose a satin or tulle ribbon or cotton. The ribbon tied with a simple knot at the back of the chair is a simple and modern idea. The ribbon tied on only one side of the chair is much more likely to enliven the entire room (two ribbons are weaved together and interlocked through the bars of the chair). If you desire, the ribbon can hang at the base of each chair, which is an original decoration.

Vintage or retro

For a retro deco wedding, the centerpiece is often created by the couples themselves! Old jam jars to serve as vases, old cans which will have removed the label and attached a custom vintage style label. You can also choose as a centerpiece the old glass vases: very transparent glass bottles, colored bottle which will host flowers. Briefly, the retro wedding table decorations will make you go back into the past with a little taste of nostalgia! The centerpiece can be a bouquet of flowers (or several small bunches) placed in transparent containers or retro vases originally customized!

Let it be light…

When night falls, the lighting should be discreet and the best way to achieve this is to enlighten table centrepices with a small LED that will make the difference, for example: a large clear vase in which you put water and a colored LED to give style to this unique piece. You can also decorate the bottom of a vase with gravel, shingle color, glass beads or water and put a colored light at the bottom of the vase. Then, you could play with the styles of long and high vases, cups, martini glasses: each of the vases centerpieces will be in the color of your wedding.

The tree can be composed of dried branches, painted white, to which were added small garlands of red flowers. More modern, the tree branches can be decorated with balls of flowers to add volume.

The wedding in the banquet hall

The most common solution when choosing a venue for a wedding is the banquet hall. You can find a place for every taste and color. These rooms are specifically designed for large and small celebrations, perfect for those who want to create a unique atmosphere. After all, here begins the fancy flight of the newlyweds to a new life.

Wedding at restaurant

Definitely you have more than a thousand restaurants around your area. They are divided on the direction, style and cuisine. Their interiors impress us with diversity and beauty, from a measured classicism to the grandiose Baroque.  Modern restaurants, in most cases, require no additional decoration of the hall, but if you have a dream to see on their wedding 1000 balloons and then release them into the blue sky – decorators will always be ready to serve. Posh restaurant, styled aristocratic mansions, the interior of which will become integral backdrops for wedding receptions are pretty interesting choices.

Wedding on the boat

Organizing a wedding on the boat is considered one of the most popular wedding sites. Your wedding day and planning should not be done in a hurry. This holiday is for the enjoyment of body and soul. Decorations of your wedding will be the stunning architecture of cultural cities, exquisite monumental bridges and clear blue sky overhead. And the quiet waters of a river will soothe the heart, presenting their magical powers.

The seating plan: what it is?

The seating plan is, as its name indicates, a paper on which the tables will be drawn … Moreover, on the same tables you will place a card with the name of your guests! The seating plans are mostly performed in a large frame in which you insert the paper on which everything is written: table names and exact places of your guests! The table plan can also be performed on different media, originally decorated.

The creation of the seating plan

Some like the traditional seating plan, inserted in a frame on a simple white sheet of paper. Others prefer the more creative seating plans, homemade, decorated with ribbons, photos, postcards, etc. … The seating plan can be decorated in the style of marriage, you must not forget that! Unfortunately, many brides always end up with a seating plan that resembles the classical designs, unoriginal and problematic when they have over 100 guests.

Here is a helpful idea: a seating plan in tabular form with flags. Each flag is personalized and bears the name of the guests and their table number. In the same line you can use cards or postcards: hang a picture placed on an easel, highlight it properly and it will be eye-catching. Pastel flowers or buds can accommodate a card table by the detailed composition of the table. In this way you can avoid the traditional framework hung at the entrance of the room.

Table plans or maps?

The wedding place card ideas are practical; if you want absolutely determine the exact position of your guests. But if you plan to have round tables, with a dozen of individuals at each table, the simplest way would be to tell your guests their table number. Based on this principle, designers have created the escort card: they avoid the seating plan and offer the prospect of a better organization for the guest room and a smoother running of the party. The principle of the escort card is “we choose the table, you choose your place at table”. You can then install this card on the table. Each card should be arranged in alphabetical order, as it is easiest to navigate through. For achieving the wow factor, you can create a tree at the entrance in which to hang the place cards. It is quite original and gorgeous.

The vintage character of this marriage is also a way to decorate without adding too much. The bridesmaids should be strictly dressed and the newlyweds will be traditionally dressed in white: even the photos will convey the image of a romantic wedding. The table decoration is the foundation of the decor: if you add too much wanting to do everything you can end up spoiling it. The table decoration is perfect because is neither too much nor too little; it is a mixture of spring, country style decor and romance. The three themes decidedly have the honor of a simply styled marriage. Big buttons or ivory color are superb as carriers of small place cards.

A timber decorated with white tablecloth is an exquisite wedding decoration because it is characteristic of details of the wedding theme: garden and nature! So, go with a little green for this romantic decoration. In the same line you could add old clay pots filled with beautiful bouquets of yellow flowers that contrast with some orange green.

Better than a glass of alcohol or a glass of soda, cocktails or even homemade lemonade are details that are mark the garden wedding receptions as superb. Glasses decorated with lemon slices, straws and ice cubes are just as important as the content! And for a wedding, be it spring or summer, there is really nothing like a real cocktail, a mixture of alcohol and fruit juice!

You really see wonderful things in weddings, but here it is a simply fabulous setting idea to reproduce for the delight of the guests! A wedding reception in a garden can also be very stylish if you add special items. The chandelier hanging from a tree is simply original! The crystal and pearls attached to a tree branch will highlight the natural setting, especially when night falls!

The buffet for any garden reception should be a convivial and warm place. Still on the same white cloth with the same sets of clusters of pink and white flowers, the candy buffet is composed of traditional glass jars hosting biscuits and cookies. Of course, you could still arrange it indoors, if you prefer this alternative. To add a touch of originality, you can handwrite the names of the cookies on cute vintage labels and cards.

Outdoor Wedding Venues (Source: 2.bp.blogspot.com)

Catering company you select should have experience in developing the menu for a wedding in the fresh air. Please make sure that its upcoming chefs and dishes are well tolerated. In any case, do not order salads, mayonnaise or dishes that require special storage conditions.

Since the consumption of alcohol contributes to dehydration, do not forget to order plenty of chilled soft drinks, such as lemonade and iced tea. Take care to have provided significant reserves of ice and plain water. And if you prefer fancy cocktails, why not invite your friends to a classic mojito or mint cocktail? Mint refreshes and ‘cools’ the overheated guests.
If you are dreaming of a romantic setting, we recommend that you organize a wedding or register the first wedding dance at the time of sunset: you and your guests will never forget such an unusual sight. If you decide to hold your wedding during the day, try to do so that during the ceremony the sun to shine mildly.

Do not forget to contact the local authorities or other government authorities to get permission to hold the wedding outdoors, unless, of course, you do not have a wedding party in the garden or at the cottage or on the territory of any country hotel. Be sure to check if there are any restrictions associated with the use of candles or other lighting, garbage removal and fireworks.

Many couples do not put value on the exterior decorations of outdoor wedding venues, but it is very important because it creates the first impression. So if the restaurant has an indoor garden, stairs, pool, lawn or paved paths make the most of them and decorate them in the most original way. Opt for garlands of flowers, archways decorated with tulle and satin bows in color of the interior arrangements or plants to adorn the bright front door.

The vintage wedding table decoration is not so uncommon. Perhaps the fashion to decorate the table in vintage style came after the new film adaptation of ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ It looks very nice and gentle. To make the design fit into the overall decor of the banquet hall, it is possible to add different colors and flowers, preferably peonies, tulips, carnations, roses and gerberas in pastel tones. A stack of old books or chess, located on a support will look very stylish and original. In any case, the guests will be equally surprised. They can comment on this central composition in that it emphasizes guests’ identities and priorities in life. Books and a chess board can also be used as a stand for spherical bouquets.

Fruits, vegetables and flowers in a pot are pretty common, but you can give them a modern vintage twist. Making the central composition of fruits and vegetables is not uncommon. For example, in the center of the table can be arranged a pile of apples, complemented by decorative moss or twigs tied to the top and bows. Pot plants are also one of the most fashionable wedding trends. It does not matter whether it is violets, daisies, gerberas or just the greens, you will definitely have beautiful wedding receptions.

Any of us can hardly and calmly look at the gingerbread house, reminiscent of a children's fairy tale, or a charming cake. In addition to the table decor, you can add a variety of small cakes, cookies and chocolates you can put in the center of the table. It is unusual and looks sweet, so it will transform your table into something enchanting. Candles at the wedding are a quite traditional decor. Not only they look noble and elegant, but also create special lighting, which gives a warm, cozy atmosphere. Candles can be of different colors, sizes and aromatic or not. These ‘islands’ of candles are perfectly combined with fruit and flower petals. You can also add whatever accessory you would like, because candles are versatile and still very trendy.

Why not create a small winter wonderland, if your wedding takes place in the winter time? The colorful, shiny Christmas balls will create a great central composition, which will look very bright and festive, and spruce branches will add a unique flavor that will always be associated with your special event.
