When planning the decorations of your wedding day, don’t forget about the chairs.  It adds some much to the atmosphere of your wedding day, and makes the guests feel special too.  There are lots of ways to decorate chairs with simple ribbons, bows or even flowers.

Adding accessories to simply tied bows adds a touch of elegance.  You can accessorize the bows with flowers, gems, the ideas are endless.

You can make a dramatic presentation by the way the bows or tied, or by having multiply colors in the ribbon.

Flowers can be expensive, but it does depend on the type of flowers you are wanting to obtain.  There are many different ways to incorporate flowers to your chair decor without breaking your bank account.  Remember greenery goes a long way!

Ghost chairs add a modern look to any wedding event. I love the clean look of these chairs.  They open up the space and helps draw attention to your tables and table accessories.  You can easily add bows or fabric cushions to dress them up further, but I think they have an elegant look on their own.  What do you think?

If you are looking for a way to cut costs but still have that glamorous wedding, why not have an afternoon wedding?  Afternoon weddings traditionally are less expensive because it is not a time preferred by the majority of couples getting married.

A wedding coffee bar would compliment an afternoon wedding beautifully.  Imagine having an outside wedding with a classic string quartet followed by a dessert and coffee bar at the same outdoor location.

To bring forward the theme of the coffee bar, you could play off the color brown.  You could have your bridesmaids in brown dresses.  Fill the base of vases with coffee beans, adding  string of flowers for your centre pieces.  Maybe you would prefer the an assortment of chocolates or pastries to dress your tables.  The ideas are endless!

The focal point would be your coffee bar, set up to make any type of coffee from cappuccinos to expressos.  To accompany this you could have a large assortment of desserts, including a chocolate fountain with delicious fruit!  I am sure your guests would join your themselves.  Choosing the time your wedding celebration will determine overall costs, but not the elegance and glamour of your wedding!

1)  Make it personal. Everyone wants their party to be remembered as uniquely theirs.  Make your fiance’s and your personality shine at your wedding, through wedding favours, food selection, wedding theme and decor.

2) Intimate weddings.   With the economy as it is, intimate weddings are becoming the popular selection.

3) Destination weddings.  These weddings are intimate weddings, since not many guests will be able to travel to your chosen destination.  This allows the bridal couple to spend less money, have less stress planning (as most of these places have pre-selected wedding packages) and more time to join their wedding day.  The couples that choose to have this type of wedding may decide at a later date to have a wedding reception back in their home town to celebrate with family and friends that were unable to travel.

4)  Eco weddings. Brides go green! Started being popular last year, continues for this year.
