Planning for a Simple Wedding

The main part of the wedding is not the food or decoration but the wedding ceremony. Therefore, you can curtail a lot of cost from the wedding budget if you keep those arrangements small and simple. The list of small simple wedding ideas are as follows.

Venue: You can start by keeping the location of your venue simple. If you are looking for an outdoor simple wedding, then you can opt for venues like your garden or the backyard of your house or the local park where your guests will get the feel of being closer to nature. Another idea is to opt for a gorgeous location which itself looks so beautiful that you do not have to spend much money for wedding decorations. Depending on you and your spouses' nature and personality, you can select other venues like art gallery, museum, beach, etc.

Guest List: Wedding is one of the most important day of your life. You want to share this special moment of your life with your friends and family members. However, you must agree that you cannot include all of them for your wedding. Therefore, sit with your spouse and prepare a guest list which should be as short as possible. Only the close family members and friends should be included in this list.

Food: In a wedding, the maximum amount of money is spent on foods. You can cut down on the costs of food by excluding the idea of an extravagant fancy dinner. Keep the menu simple and include only those foods which are at reasonable rate. If you keep a large number of dishes and desserts, then it is very likely that many of the foods may get wasted. Therefore, the menu should be kept short too. Select some key dishes that are liked by most people.

Decoration: There is no need for an elaborate flower arrangements for decorating the wedding venue. For an elegant yet simple wedding, you can use decorative items like balloons, curly ribbons, simple potted bulbs like tulips, colorful floating candles in simple vases, etc. You can decorate the tables with laced tablecloth and keep framed photographs of the couple as table centerpiece. If you are looking for outdoor simple wedding ideas, then natural beauty of the surroundings will contribute to the overall look to a great extent.

Get Help from Guests: Instead of hiring a wedding planner or doing all the preparations on your own, you can assign each of the regular tasks of wedding like decoration, food arrangements, etc. to some of the trusted friends and family members. Thus you can remain stress free on the big day and save a lot of money at the same time. Execution of your plans will also become much easier for you. You can also ask your friends to take the wedding photographs as well. I can assure you that your friends and relatives will feel happy to help you on this special occasion of your life.

A small and simple wedding is fabulous when executed properly and is not going to take the fun elements away from the actual ceremony. Rather, it will keep things nice and easy and will be less troublesome for both of you.
