Wedding Venue Decoration

Indian wedding is considered as big-fat wedding. The wedding industry is growing with the YoY growth of 20%. Most of the people spend more than 60% of their savings in the wedding of their kids. As Indian, we believe in spending lavishly in the wedding of our kids. Wedding in the family is all about celebrations and luxury spending. But, there are still a set of people who want to spend logically and don’t want to waste money on the wedding preparations. Are you also among those who want to spend logically and save money on wedding venue decoration? Here, we are sharing some smart tips with you to save money on your wedding decoration cost.

Decide your budget: Before deciding the decoration, the first thing you should think and decide is overall budget for wedding venue decoration. Decide the minimum and maximum budget for your decoration. Deciding a budget in advance can help in getting the best deals from the vendors. As you know your maximum spending limit, therefore, there are less chances of over spending.

Discuss your budget with florist: Before you finalize any decoration, ask for the expenses. Discuss about your overall spending budget to the florist and ask the vendor to provide you solutions within the budget only. It will help the florist to provide you the best solutions without exceeding the budget.

Think about seasonal flowers: To decorate your venue within your budget, it is always important that you should always think about seasonal flower decorations. Seasonal flowers will be less expensive and easily available. You need not to pay extra money for it. Besides, you will get a great deal on seasonal flowers because of high supply. But, if you will decide something out of box or off seasonal flowers then you will surely pay extra money for it.

Minimize costly flowers: This is another good option to minimize your decoration cost. Avoid or minimize the usage of costly flowers. It will help in reducing the overall budget of the decoration. If you choose costly flowers for overall decoration, then obviously you are required to pay more money compared to using the seasonal flowers.  If you are really keen to use some specific flower, use it smartly to fit into your budget.

Think about just two types of flowers: To decorate your wedding venue within the budget, it is important that you use only two or maximum three types of flowers rather than using multiple flowers for decoration. Furthermore, if you buy single flower in bulk for the decoration, then you can negotiate for the price. Single or double color combination flower decoration is the best option to save money.

Use natural surrounding: If you have booked a party farm or some open place for your wedding, then use the natural surroundings of the place. Use the natural greenery smartly to minimize your decoration cost. If the place is well maintained with plants and trees, decorate them with lights and reduce the usage of flowers. Besides, you can also use other props like candles, hanging lamps and other things for decoration to give it a different look.

Think about alternatives: If you think that full flower decoration is a costly affair, think about the alternatives. You can think about some other alternatives for venue wedding decorations. You can either go for partial decoration such as decorating stage and mandap with real flowers and rest of the venue with lights, hangings and artificial flowers. This way you will be able to save some more money on your decoration.

Some Most Common Wedding Planning Mistakes We Usually Make

Indian wedding planning

A wedding in the family is one of the biggest events in the family and requires a lot of planning and team work. You can’t handle each and everything on your own. You need help of family members, relatives and at times help of friends to avoid any glitches in the preparation. But, under pressure of preparation and planning we make some mistakes which we could easily avoid if we pay little attention to things. You are supposed to plan various things like shopping, gifts, printing of cards, booking wedding venue and finalizing the menu, etc. All these things require a lot of planning and coordination. In such a hectic situation, there are chances that you will forget something or skip something. We are here sharing some of the common mistakes most of us usually make while planning for wedding.

Not fixing a budget: The first thing you should do while you start planning for your wedding arrangements is fixing the budget. Fixing the overall budget and segmenting the budget is very important. It is important that you fix the budget for everything, be it for shopping, venue, gifts and any other thing. It will help you in getting the overall spending limit and estimating the things in advance. If you will not fix a budget in advance, there are high chances that you end up shedding more money than your actual budget in making all the arrangements.

Finalizing vendor on the basis of quotes: This is another mistake which one should avoid. Asking the price quotes from different vendors is a good move to begin with, but fixing someone on the basis of low quotes is not the right decision. You never want to face any negative comment in wedding planning. You always want everything to be the best for that day. Before finalizing any vendor, it is important to see their previous work. If the vendor has any website, then don’t forget to check the details and see the comments on it.

Not making the guest list properly: Always calculate the guests well. To plan everything well in advance it is important that you make a proper guest list and arrange everything accordingly. Making last minute changes in the list can affect all the arrangements. Make sure that you work upon 10% minus or plus guest list for the wedding day. Make all the arrangements accordingly and instruct your vendor and caterer to make the arrangements as per the list.

Taking too many opinions: It is good to take the second opinion if you are confused, but it is not a wise idea to discuss the same thing with everyone.  The more you discuss, the more you will get confused. Involve your close family members and friends in important decisions. It will help in making the right decision and perfect choices better.

Too high expectations: If you are keeping your expectation too high, it might be you will feel disappointed if you see even a little flaw in the arrangement. It is better to keep your expectations at ground level and get yourself involved in most of the planning part. Don’t expect that your decorator will make the replica of the stage or other things, which you saw in some movie or at some else’s wedding. Let him use his creativity at the best.

Not instructing vendor well: After hiring a wedding planner or vendor, we think that he/she will take care of everything. This is totally wrong. You are the right one who knows your requirements well. No one else could tell the vendor what you want or don’t want in your wedding venue or in food menu or something else. So, give proper instructions to the vendors to avoid any confusion in the expectation and delivery.
