If you\u2019ve already chosen a venue for your reception, find a nearby area for your ceremony or vice versa. It\u2019s even better when it\u2019s at the same location. This way, you can cut costs on renting another venue, transportation, and getting your team from one point to another, i.e. your videographer and\u00a0photographer.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Having close locations or even one location can also save you from worrying about logistics. You don\u2019t have to worry about how your guests will get from your ceremony to reception. You and your guests will also have more time to enjoy mingling with your guests, dancing, posing, and having fun with your photo booth.<\/p>\r\n

Allocate your budget wisely<\/h3>\r\n

Your wedding ceremony is one of the most photographed moments of your big day. It will also draw the most attention from your guests. So the whole area must look good both personally and in photos. To do this, you need to distribute your ceremony budget wisely. Your aisle and altar are the high-impact areas that you should focus on and spend more on. This includes your arches and backdrops.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

You can use the rest of your decor budget on your entrance, ceiling, and chairs. For flowers, you can ask your florist to help you with a few arrangements. But if you\u2019re planning your wedding to be more elaborate, try to find a floral expert or an event designer so you can execute your vision. For chairs, consider how good they\u2019ll look and how comfortable they are. Don\u2019t put chairs too closely together and give everyone some breathing room.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
