Planning your our your good friend wedding is a momentous task. You want the venue to look spectacular and beautiful, just as you have always imagined! But, as the costs start mounting, you may begin to feel a little concerned.

So where to start?

As a start, you have to think about the cost of the hall, your dress, the food, drinks, the musical band, the photographer, favours for your guests and your décor theme. Every bit adds up and your budget starts to shrink rapidly.

Some tips that don't cost much, but can make the wedding beautiful on a budget:

Lighting - you want your venue to be cosy and romantic with a warm glow. You don’t need to buy expensive LED lighting. Tealight Candles, fairy light strings and vintage edison bulbs are versatile and come in a large choice of colours. for example, tea lights are packed in large quantities, making each one very budget-friendly. Use tealight candles as part of your table centre-piece.

Tip: Buy bulk packs of economic glass jars and place the tealights inside so they don’t pose a danger while burning. The magical flickering of the live firelight will delight your guests.

Add charm to your venue with balloons and paper lanterns.

You don't need to hang expensive crystal chandeliers from the ceiling to create an eye-catching effect. Paper lanterns are cheap and come in a choice of stunning colours ranging from classic white to sweet pastels.

You can also use baloons- they are cheap and available in a large choice of colours and sizes. Balloons filled with helium will float above your tables, up against the ceiling and alongside dull side walls a very long time! They can be used to create a wonderful arch over the main bridal table. Nowadays they come in variety of shapes and even in shapes of words!

Balloons are ideal for both indoor and outdoor events, adding colour and a special charm to your wedding venue.

Tip: Spraying them with glitter quickly turns a balloon into a luxurious décor item!
