Looking for ways to stretch your budget to have that beautiful expensive looking wedding?

Try doing several large over-the-top statement pieces or centerpieces placed strategically in your room and fill in with simpler and less expensive centerpieces. This will give your room that "WOW" factor every bride wants and won't bust the budget.

Consider doing a single layer of wedding cake for your centerpiece. Add a cake knife to each table and after the bide and groom have cut their cake the guest can eat their cake for dessert. Different flavors can add a little spice to the event with cake swapping all over the room.

Use more greenery than flowers in your centerpieces or better yet, use items that have meaning to you and your fiancee to give your room a stylish personal touch. Picking flowers in season and sticking to one or two kinds will make a difference in your budget as well.

Lastly, don't forget the items the venue may offer. These items such as votives, hurricane vases or lanterns can help flay the cost freeing up money for other fun and fabulous items.

Ah, fall, with it’s cooler and refreshing weather attracts all those couple’s who yearn to have those fabulous beautiful outside weddings. But wait, it can be beautiful and seemly lovely but this also can be the worst time of the year. It’s the dreaded hurricane season too!

Making preparations early and ahead of time can make all the difference on how your special day turns out. Unfortunately, the weather is something we can’t control so we do need to pay attention on how we plan the day’s activities. Outdoor weddings and receptions are both lovely and beautiful but can turn into a nightmare if you do not have a good backup plan in place in case the weather turns ugly. Not only is this important for you but also for the comfort of your guest. Tents and extra rooms can help solve weather issue problems but reservations must be done in advance or it could be to late to get these situations at the last minute. Don’t let the weather spoil your wedding day, it can still be spectacular as ever with planning ahead of time. No one likes to be stressed at a time when you should be enjoying your lovely day so, make those arrangements now!
