Weddings can be done on a budget and still be a very special day. Try these Budget Wedding Ideas Australia on for size…
Book your wedding somewhere unique with distinguishing characteristics. Some suggestions include a Museum, Zoo, Botanical Gardens, the Harbour, Art Gallery, Beach etc. This alone will provide an amazing backdrop to the ceremony. You could also rent a home through Airbnb somewhere fabulous.
Select your colour theme and use the richness of your chosen colour to make your venue look lavish. Blend those colours into everything you choose for the wedding to unify and set your colour theme including wedding invitations, order of the wedding booklets, thank you cards, save the date notifications etc.
Introduce a special new tradition at the wedding by passing the wedding bands from the back aisles to the front until it reaches the bridal party to allow each person who touches the bands to silently make a wish for the couple.
A fun thing to do at the Wedding Reception is to get table photos out of the way early by announcing to guests one song would play and by the end of the tune, the couple had to complete all table photos with their guests. It means scooting around table to table quickly and usually there is much laughter. It leaves a whole lot more time for real chatting and dancing!
Make your wedding tables pop by using lanterns, an array of different sized candles and candleholders and vary the heights, the textures, colours and shapes and use tablecloths and table runners to match with your colour theme. Place garlands on your tabletop, extending them over the side of the table which gives a luxurious look.
Remember to match with napkins as well which you can encircle using napkin rings and fold in such a way the menu can slip into it. Placing a flower tied with a ribbon bow diagonally on top finishes the look. Long Rectangular tables are fantastic to decorate and sets up a sophisticated look down the length of the table.
Give the Reception drama by using tall vases with large branches. You could also use fairy lights to add a magical dimension. Purchase tall glass cylinders from the local $1 store and use them as a vase placing water in them with floating candles. This sets such a romantic look. If possible, have the lights dimmed to make the ambience even more romantic. A designer trick is to place this in front of any mirror to create a volume affect.
A wedding does not have to be frugal, nor does it have to be expensive to be the best day of your life. With careful planning and thought, your wedding day can be everything you ever dreamed of and more.
