As a wedding event planner, I wanted to share with you some ideas for you to think about when you are planning a wedding on a budget. As I tell all my brides, when planning your wedding it is important to determine a budget and stick to it or you will find costs spiraling out of control.

Here is a simple yet elegant idea for you to use when planning a wedding on a budget. Purchase different types of votive candle holders. As a wedding event planner, I advise my clients to be on the lookout and pick up candle holders where ever they might find them, or if there is a party or craft store, check out the store's inventory and do not be afraid to mix and match color, shape or size.

Planning your wedding can take up to a year or more so that gives you plenty of time to find a variety of votive candle holders. Go for an eclectic look, you do not need to have the same type of votive holder on each table.

Using candlelight can add a new dimension of decor and romance when planning a wedding on a budget. Also, you can mix and match simple votive holders with ones that are more decorative and detailed.

Want to add some color to the table? One of the tips I suggest as a wedding event planner is to use rose petals which you can easily purchase in a variety of colors. You can also arrange individual loose flowers on the table or you can use ribbon and tie these loose flowers together in small bunches.

Finally, when planning a wedding think about bringing something in that has sentimental value or meaning. Maybe your family has a white decorative table linen that you can use as an overlay on the reception or cake table. Setting up family pictures at the sign-in or reception table is another idea especially if you can find pictures that date back two to three generations, all of which were taken on their respective wedding days.

I hope you find these simple ideas useful if you are planning a wedding on a budget. Again, as a wedding event planner, I stress the importance of determining your budget in the beginning and maintaining it through the process of planning your wedding. Until next time, remember the Budget Bash mantra; make it simple, delicious, stylish, fun and economic to all!
