Add Luxury to Your Wedding on a Budget

Budget-Friendly Tips for Staging a Beautiful Wedding

You deserve to enjoy the wedding of your dreams. After all, you’ve waited your whole life for this moment to declare your love for your future husband or bride, as well as to celebrate that love with friends and family. At The Establishment in Bradburn Village, we believe that budget should not be an obstacle to holding a sumptuous affair that you and your guests will fondly remember for the rest of your lives.

Here are a few tips for staging a luxurious wedding while still operating on a relatively tight budget:

• Keep the wedding guest list to a minimum. You may want all your friends and family members to be in attendance on your special day, but the reality is that each additional guest you invite to the wedding will increase the total cost. A smaller guest list will not only make your wedding more intimate, but it will also help you reduce costs so that you can commit resources to other elements, such as the design and décor.
• Pick your own wedding flowers. One of the most important design elements of any wedding is the floral decorations. Of course, high-quality flowers are not cheap. Among the many wonderful things about Colorado is that beautiful flowers are almost always just a few steps away. If you are looking to reduce costs at your wedding, consider picking flowers right from the source and using them as magnificent wedding bouquets. Who knows: the flowers for your luxurious wedding might be blossoming in your own backyard right now!
• Reuse flowers at the wedding reception. If you don’t want to pick your own flowers, one way for you to cut costs at your wedding is to reuse the bridesmaids’ bouquets and aisle flowers as decoration for the reception. After the ceremony, have the bouquets placed throughout the venue so that your reception has the same luxurious feel as the memorable wedding ceremony that preceded it.
• Buy used wedding decorations. There is a misconception that it is necessary to buy brand new decorations for a wedding celebration. You can significantly reduce the costs of your wedding by buying used centerpieces and other decorations from recent brides. Not only will you save a ton of money, but you will also be getting items that, in most cases, have only been used once previously.
• Get creative with DIY wedding flair. One of the best and most cost-effective ways to decorate your wedding venue is to use some do-it-yourself magic. A website like Pinterest can provide you with a wide array of creative options that will allow you to stay within a budget while using common, everyday items to create breathtaking wedding centerpieces, bouquets, favors, or other wedding decorations. You can also use a high-quality personal printer to make your own wedding invitations.
