Selecting
flowers that are in season at the time of your wedding can greatly help cut the cost of centerpieces. Also, keep in mind that
your centerpieces do not necessarily need to contain the same kind of flowers as your bouquet, but should be in the same color
scheme.
|

Supplying
out of town guests with hotel room goody bags is a nice touch. Choose a container that reflects the location, style,
colors or theme of the wedding. Containers can include itineraries for the wedding or whole weekend, directions, local
dining and attraction suggestions and even some local goodies like candy.

Lighting
adds ambiance to any decor. Whether your reception is during the day or evening, inside or outside, candles in votive holders
are a nice touch. For big impact, hire an event lighting company.
|

Menu cards are a nice touch and can be a keepsake for your guests as well. Either in pocket folded
napkins at each place setting or 2 per table in frames or on small easels work well.

Before
the big day, make arrangements for a friend or family member to be in charge of packing up wedding gifts at the end of the
reception, especially cards, which often contain checks or cash.

The
right cake vendor can create a masterpiece wedding cake that is a true work of art. Ask your cake vendor if they offer cakes
with different flavored layers. A multi-flavored cake paired with an elegant coffee station creates an impressive dessert
table.
