How To Have A Big Wedding In A Small Venue

2 Comments

Your wedding will be your biggest party and there is no reason why, no matter how large or small your budget, you can’t have the perfect wedding.  These days, with the financial situation across the globe as it is, couples are finding themselves under a financial crunch more and more when it comes to planning their wedding.  One way to make you dream wedding possible, while staying within a reasonable budget, is to hold your special day in a small wedding venue.

Play with colors

By choosing lighter colors, your small wedding venue will bounce light all around and instantly feel like it is much larger than it really is.  If you plan far enough in advance, you can even look for a place that has several large mirrors on or around the seating and reception area.  This, too, will make the venue seem much larger.  An added advantage of using light colors in your wedding theme is that finding cheap and easily available wedding accessories (like favors, table decorations, pre-made invitation cards, etc.) will be a much easier task.

Use your guests

By including your guests in the wedding ceremonies, you can create a cozier atmosphere.  For instance, allow everyone to stand up and give mini-toasts to the bride and groom.  Less guests and a smaller wedding venue will make this possible in your wedding and it will be something that guests will talk about for years to come.

Get creative with decorations

You can go to your local florist and talk to him or her about your budget.  Explain that while you are on a tight budget, you still want to incorporate all the elements of a more regal wedding.  One of the easiest ways to achieve this in the flower department of wedding planning is to use flower petals for those areas of the wedding venue where it would be less noticeable.  You can create simple floral centerpieces with, say, a few of the more expensive flowers and more fillers, like baby’s breath or snap dragons, etc.  By spreading out flower petals (usually available at a very discounted rate at the florist), you will create a lush environment on the table and the venue will be filled with the fragrance of your favorite flowers.

By following these tips of the trade to help you achieve the most magical wedding, where size does not matter, atmosphere and ambiance takes over as the most prevalent part and your wedding day will shine above the rest, regardless of the fact that you had to go with a small wedding venue.
