I’m officiating a New Years Eve wedding and while talking to the Bride about budget conscious ideas for the couple, decided to post a blog with tips and tricks for others considering marrying on a holiday.
Keeping your theme simple will save you money. Contacting your friends to borrow chargers, tablecloths and napkins while staying with a “simple” color coordinated theme will have your guests oohing and ahhhing over your creative and elegant affair.
Tying the cake into your theme is key to pulling everything together. This July 4th affair was started with an idea of red, white and blue with friends of the couple scouring discount outlets for decorations.
Don’t forget the balloons! Balloons are easy and inexpensive and add a fun twist for the guests as well as unique photos to document their memories. Mixing balloons and tying them to chairs or trees gives your themed event character.
Banners and bouquets can be blended into your themed even and keep costs low too. Simple accessories are a fun way to bring the bridesmaids in on helping achieving your Dream Event. When I was planning the wedding of Lisa and Terry Williams who wanted a 50’s themed event- we limited the colors to red, white and black and I kept that theme when creating the bouquets and boutenniers while my crafty twin sister, Cindy Daniel created stunning hats for the flower girls. I found discounted black and white tops that I blended with poodle skirts I purchased at a local craft mall.
