In the coming year, Orlando wedding couples will look for budget savings wherever possible. As a wedding planner, the first question we receive is how can I save money and yet have the wedding of my dreams? Many couples choose our fair city to have their wedding and save money. Our destination wedding couples come to us from all over the globe to vacation here and to get married here as well.
We are a popular wedding location. Many of our venues offer savings for small weddings and believe me, our visitors take advantage of that savings. They can have a great vacation, with a few family members and at that same time choose a cost-effective venue for the wedding. They will simply choose a venue who provides all for one cost.
Unfortunately, it is normally our local couples who are facing higher costs. They tend to invite more family and friends, thus more costs. We are here to guide our couples, both local and destination wedding couples. We will assist on their special day and help them find less expensive wedding services from the venue to the reception getaway. Today we will be discussing a few of the new trends for saving and those that are proving to be popular this year.
Choose a backyard wedding to save costs:
Instead of going for a more obvious venue location, backyards can become a classy, sophisticated option for those on a strict budget. A backyard wedding space might be donated to the couple to save on wedding costs and let’s face it, the venue cost is one of the major expenses when planning the wedding. It is easy to hire on-site caterers or have a family member volunteer to provide the food and refreshment. You can also provide your own alcohol which is a huge plus and saves on wedding costs. You could also look for alternatives for the reception itself.
You can enjoy a personal and cost-effective event using a backyard venue. Be careful to choose a date with warmer weather and you should also consider having a tent available for incumbent weather.
Decor for the wedding:
Flower garlands will always be in style and are a great choice for budget conscious brides. Many brides are preparing their own wedding garlands to place around the ceremony space. They can be used as a backdrop and will make a beautiful arch to encircle the couple during the vows. For those brides getting married in a church or cathedral, check with the church venue and inquire if they have a florist on-staff which might save on costs. Some venues allow you to use silk floral arrangements already being used in the church.
Artificial flowers used for decor is always the less expensive choice. Use the venue decorations whenever possible. To save on costs, you might use real blooms for your personal flowers and bridal bouquet, while choosing silk florals for other decors such as chair and aisle decor. Another option is to use candles instead of flowers for some of the decorated spaces. Buy a few potted plants, some tulle, and bring a talented friend along to help create that beautiful DIY space. Set aside a few decorations to add to the unity candle and the guest book station.
Today more than ever we are seeing wedding signs used in event planning and especially those that announce the bride’s entry. They can also be used for reception seating, private spaces, and areas reserved for family, and special loved ones. How about a cute sign to announce the brides? It could be carried in by a precious flower girl, ring bearer or even placed around the neck of a sweet and lovable family pet. Anything unique and memorable is in play for today’s wedding celebration.
New trends in wedding attire:
In the year ahead we are seeing that many brides are moving away from the traditional wedding gowns. They are loving the new champagne colored ensembles and jumpsuits which are becoming very popular. They are embracing the dramatic flair of both gold and silver wedding dresses to make their grand entrance. These new choices are perfect today for our forward-thinking bride. She is also loving the look of shiny metallic beading, twinkling sparked and anything that adds that all important bling. A world away from the traditional white lace wedding dress.
If you are a bride to be who prefers warmer, cool tones, you will find those as well in the dresses available in gold or silver. This offers a more sophisticated, sexy look for your wedding day and will for sure, turn heads as you enter the ceremony space. Hair and makeup specialists are suggesting that with this look, there is no need to go heavy on the hair and makeup. They suggest you go with a simple, yet sultry look. This will make a fresh and natural look to a bold and beautiful dress choice.
The coming year we will be seeing many news wedding trends for Florida nuptials. Back yard weddings are one of the top choices for couples.
Another option is to use candles instead of flowers for some of the decorated spaces. Buy a few potted plants, some tulle, and bring a talented friend along to help create that beautiful DIY space. Set aside a few decorations to add to the unity candle and the guest book station.
