o Be upfront with the budget that you are working with. This way the planner can better strategize where the money and energy should be best allocated. Often times, when our clients gives us a budget range to work with, we are always able to maximum the outcome since we have more time to plan how best to allocate the money for the event.
o Lighting- rather than spending money on lavish linens, use color uplights to accentuate your theme colors and pin lights to bring the centerpieces alive. It is more noticeable. Project patterns on the floor and wall is also a nice way to decorate the space without spending tons of money.
o Instead of a full premium bar, serve beer and wine and even a customized cocktail drink
o Select flowers that are in season & Flowers that are very full in look – hydrangeas, peonies, and dahlia all takes a lot of space yet looks beautiful
o Candles, candles and more candles- it adds so much ambiance and can make a simple arrangement look gorgeous
o When décor budget is tight, I always go back to candles, when you put a cluster of candle votives/containers together, they still look just as amazing. Once when we did a private event, we lined the entrance and drive way with a lot of candles in hurricane containers. It looked very impressive.”
