5 Romantic Wedding Design Ideas That Won’t Break the Bank
Did you know that in 2019, Americans spent an average of about $33,900 on their wedding? It’s pretty insane, I know. We all have been dreaming about an ideal wedding design for our special day ever since we were kids. Now that the time has finally arrived, the dream wedding you had in mind doesn’t seem so attainable anymore.
No need to get depressed though. Thankfully, you don’t need a crazy amount of money to have a beautiful wedding. Here are some 5 romantic wedding designs that could help you save your bank account from shattering.
Vintage Yet Elegant
One of the cheap wedding designs out there is the classic vintage theme. The greatest thing about going vintage is the variety of items you can recycle to use as decorations.
For example, instead of picking out expensive flower arrangements, you could always go for dry bouquets and baby’s breath flowers. You can even aim for using wooden baskets, old mirrors, picture frames, candlesticks, and so on. The list is endless!
Country Wedding Design
“Where should I have my wedding?” is probably the most important question we ask ourselves when it comes to the big day. Well, with country theme weddings, you have quite a few options such as having a barn wedding, in a picnic area, or even a nice campsite.
Plus, this is another great theme where many of the decorations could be DIY projects, like table signs, centerpieces, and photo call booths.
Bohemian Love
Usually, what makes a wedding expensive are traditional things. We tend to aim for these traditions because that’s what we’ve been taught on what makes a perfect wedding. A Bohemian wedding design gives you the chance to quirk things up a little.
Like your dress or his tuxedo! A big, princess, puffy gown is the typical wedding dress yet, expensive. For the bohemian look, you can look for something simpler and lighter that can be found in a second-hand wedding dress shop. Grooms could go more casual too, perhaps a collarless shirt with some slacks.
Garden Wedding
A garden adds more romance to your wedding, even if it’s held in your backyard. Plant-based decorations are ideal in this scenario, such as leaf cards to indicate seating or touches of lavender all around to give your wedding the perfect outdoor feel.
Fairy lights can add some magic to your wedding and a garden is the perfect setting for them, not to mention that they’re cheap.
Whimsical Dream
If you want a colorful wedding, then whimsical is the theme for you. Bold colors and again, non-traditional ideas that can go great with this theme. Get creative and use your arts and craft skills to create colorful decorations, invitations, and fun favors.
