Wedding receptions are usually one of the most expensive parts of any wedding. Not only is there the cost of the venue hire, but also catering, decorations, flowers and the cake to budget for. However there are plenty of ways to keep the costs down, but still give your wedding that touch of elegance, without the elegant price tag. Here a just a few suggestions:
• Ambient lighting – Candles exude romance and are an inexpensive option that you can buy in bulk from your local pound shop. Try floating tea candles in a glass bowl as an attractive table centerpiece
• A scattering of petals – wedding flowers can be expensive so why not just go for some flower petals scattered around the table. Depending on your theme you can go for dried flowers or fresh wild flowers from outside
• Keep it simple – the old saying ‘less is more’ is never more apparent then when you’re budget conscious, so a simple vase with a single flower can be just as effective as elaborate flower arrangements. You can even tie a piece of ribbon around the vase to add some colour
If you really want to give your reception a chic and stylish finish, then use wedding chair covers tied with an organza sash. We have a wonderful choice of chair covers at Special Occasions Covered that can fit almost any chair and have over 20 different coloured organza sashes to choose from, meaning you can easily impress your guests without blowing the budget.
