Wedding Centrepieces on a Budget

It's important to keep this wedding looking stylish even on a budget. As soon as you go to the florist as start deciding on your flowers for you centerpieces and the extravagant glass and mirror wear surrounded by crystals....oh please be a bit more original.  Get your family and friends to lend you as many glass vases as possible......

 

Then the day before the wedding hit the flower stall or Sainsbury's, Tesco or Asda and seek out some nice flowers set yourself a budget of £100 and that is is...no more.....and that should be enough money to cover at least 10 tables.  Ask a family member, friend or neighbour if you can have some foliage from their garden....Laurel is lovely as it has that waxy look, or privet which smaller.  Then buy some ribbon of your colour choice and wrap it simply round the vase like below....

Budget Wedding Continued......cakes

Hello Darlings,

We all want fabulous extravagant wedding cakes. Well you can even on a budget..... Sainsburys sell 12 fairy cakes for £100.  So lets say you have 50 Guests... that's going to cost you £5 for the cakes with 10 left to practice on and eat!!! If you really wanted to you can put them into different cakes to match your theme.  Either way this is not going to break the bank. Now for the decoration....good butter cream is easy to make and can be coloured.  This is probably going to cost you about £10.00 tops.  The for the topping you can do anything from sugar spinning, fruits, chocolates.  As long as you put plenty of sparkle on they will be a great hit..... and you will have fun experimenting.  Get people involved  - this is a great task for your Mum, Nan, Auntie or best friend x

Budget does not mean Boring Wedding

Be daring  - your bridesmaids don't all have to look the same.  Often buying Bridesmaid Dresses can be an expensive part of the wedding, especially when they have to be altered to fit individual sizes.  So set the budget and give your Bridesmaids the money (trust them, they don't want to shame you at your wedding or embarrass you.....there is nothing stopping you all shopping together!)  Your Bridesmaids will look more fabulous because they will buy shapes that compliment their figure.
