We have some smart budget wedding decor ideas that will allow you to make your special day beautiful without threatening your bank account.
So, get confetti ready because we are here to make your wedding the best day of your life with these budget wedding decor ideas:
1. Selection of Flowers
It is hard to imagine a wedding without some gorgeous flower decorations. And, which is why most of the décor budget goes into buying flowers. But, you can always be smart in picking them, by going for local and homegrown blossoms. There’s no denial to the fact that the Orchids, peonies and other exotic flowers look beautiful as a part of wedding decor, but so do Indian roses, jasmine, and marigolds. So, this wedding season opt for local flower decorations if you want to save big.

6. Save on Centrepieces
Many couples stress on adding expensive table centrepieces but if truth be told, people barely sit at tables for a longer time at Indian weddings. Thus, spending a lot on centrepieces would be a waste of money. Why not reuse those empty wine bottles or old tea kettles and glasses as decorations and set some budget wedding decor goals?!
