Beautiful and Budget-Friendly
If there’s one theme for weddings in 2009, it’s cost-conscious, which is music to the DIY bride’s ear. From invites to favors, the Martha Stewart Celebrate Collection offers these tips for injecting some self-reliant style into the wedding:
• For the look of pure elegance, choose a white color palette with a simple pattern.
• Stationery can be created using a PC, which allows the bride to fully personalize her invitations, place cards and other stationery.
• Instead of the traditional floral arrangement, group together wedding favors as an economical centerpiece.
• To save on floral costs, choose in-season blooms and think of creative ways to use flowers in a minimal yet elegant fashion
• A candid photo of the happy couple is great way to customize a wedding theme; use it on favors or even as a cake-topper substitute.
• Coordinating lanterns, garland, bows and confetti are an easy way to give venues a pro-quality style at a fraction of the cost.
• The busy DIY bride shouldn’t undertake too big a task: Look for decorations that are simple to create.
