Who isn’t trying to be budget conscience right now?
Get Married has teamed up with Celebrity event designer Colin Cowie to offer wedding tips and trends to the budget-savvy bride. Check out a few of Colin’s tips, and then check out Get Married’s site for more information on Colin’s advice and his show!
1. Dream big: Small ideas get small results, so put budget aside while envisioning your dream wedding, then figure out what you can afford.
2. Cut your coat according to the cloth: It’s better to do 5 things correctly than 10 things on the skinny.
3. Consider a destination wedding: Weddings can take place anywhere, so think beyond the exotic beach and think about a bed-and-breakfast or country inn.
4. Opt for a fantastic DJ: Instead of a big orchestra band, find a great DJ who can create great background music and just as easily keep the guests moving on the dance floor.
5. Invest in a trusted wedding planner: A professional is there to ease some of the pressure while bringing your vision to a reality.
6. Design a signature drink: Rather than serving an open bar, offer guests a specialty beverage that is as delicious as it is memorable.
7. Create monochromatic flower arrangements using one type of flower: When bundled en masse in short ceramic vases, whether roses or carnations, tulips or spider mums; these flowers are beautiful and impactful.
