3 Tips to Get the Big WOW with Your Décor Without A Big Budget

By Ciara Daykin

Do you have wedding envy??

When you look at pictures in magazines are you worried that your wedding won’t look as good as the ones gracing the pages of your fav bridal mag??

Well, I’m going to give you 3 insider tricks for getting the wedding magazine look at your wedding but on your budget:

1. Lighting- Lighting can instantly change a room and it’s just so simple and low cost to do. We bring in ground lighting that shines up on the walls and changes the color of the room. It adds atmosphere and is completely stunning. Putting colored gels in the lighting fixture will bring your wedding color to life. And don’t forget about candlelight. It may seem like a no brainer but you’d be surprised how many brides forget the power of candlelight on their décor
2.  Tall Centerpieces- If you don’t feel that your wedding has a WOW factor then go for tall centerpieces. And they don’t have to kill your budget. Eiffel tower vases or pilsner vases are nice and tall and fun to work with. You don’t have to use all flowers. Try using feathers or curly willow to fill up the vase. There are also lots of greens that look very luxurious but are more low cost than actual blooms
3. Great Linens- Your guests are spending the majority of your wedding at their table so I’d suggest putting your bridal bucks towards great linens. Yes chair covers are great but if you get a table linen that compliments the venues current chairs you can save on chair covers and still have a really sleek look.

Ciara’s Bridal Advice

Regardless of your budget it’s important not to fight the venue’s current décor. Short of painting the walls you have to work with what’s already there. So with each element of your décor make sure that it’s going to suit the room. By following this simple rule you can have a much more polished look.
