Although
a wedding is really about the ceremony, for many of your guests, the
real wedding begins at the reception (i.e. food + dancing + open bar
= serious fun). For the bride and groom, the reception is usually
when they get to relax and let loose as well, but the planning of the
reception is anything but relaxing, especially if you’re trying to
stick to a strict budget.
1.
Use White Christmas Lights
Many
people use white Christmas lights all year round on their back
porches as a simple and elegant decoration.
2.
Add a Water Feature
A
nice addition to the entrance of your reception would be a water
fountain. It could even be a small one that you have in your home
that sits on a table
3.
Decorate with Food
Huge
and assorted apothecary jars of candy on the dessert bar create a
festive mood, while gorgeous trays and farm fresh cheeses and rustic
bread can instantly make the party have a more organic feel.
4.
Add Candles
There’s
nothing more romantic than a dim room lit only by the glow of
hundreds of candles. And luckily, candles are inexpensive.
5.
Have Fun with Flowers
These
would be inexpensive to make as long as you either used silk flowers.
