The reception is traditionally one of the most expensive aspects of a wedding. However, by combining personal creativity and ingenuity with inexpensive, ready-made items available at discount retailers, brides-to-be and cash-strapped parents can host a beautiful wedding reception without blowing through the entire bridal budget.
“Creating a beautiful wedding environment on a budget is simple,” says Cid Busarow, a party planner and owner of the Fish Creek House Bed and Breakfast in Whitehall, Montana. “By putting a personal touch on everything from table centerpieces to wedding favors, brides and grooms can save while creating memories for years to come.”
While June is still the most popular month for weddings, according to a recent study by Hallmark.com, September and October are quickly gaining in popularity.Cid Busarow offers some great last-minute planning tips this fall for brides and grooms-to-be:
* If renting a reception tent, create a romantic environment by purchasing sheering fabric and 2-inch ribbon from a local discount retailer to drape around the canopy. Create billows of fabric and hang from the ceiling, wrap around poles, and swag in the entryway.
* Whether throwing an indoor or outdoor reception, flowers help set the tone but can quickly add up. A typical flower budget is 15 percent of the overall cost of a wedding. Consider using some of the beautiful and realistic-looking silk flowers available today intermingled with arrangements of fresh flowers to keep the romance high and the costs low. The bride and groom can use the silk flowers in the home for years to come.
