4. RENT LARGE DECORATIONS
Wedding rentals are definitely a great way to get around your budget! All kinds of supplies can be rented, which is undoubtedly the most economical. However, it is recommended to rent large items, such as tables and chairs, decorative backdrops, shelves, etc. Because small items may be rented to defective ones. At the same time, it also saves the time problem of handling large items, which is also one of the advantages.

6. DECORATIVE ACCENT SCENE
The layout of the wedding site needs to be divided into several areas, including the ceremony area, the dessert area, the dining area, and the party area. Focus on arranging one or two of these areas, which can not only highlight the focus of the wedding but also concentrate the budget and do it more delicately.

7. ADD FLOWERS AND GREENERY
As mentioned earlier, country-themed celebrations featuring greenery, dried flowers, and vintage decor have become a trend. Whether it's eucalyptus garlands, giant tropical leaves, potted ferns, or olive branch garlands, greenery has the power to add life and natural elegance to a wedding decor without the hefty price tag of traditional flower arrangements. The best part is that you can add greenery anywhere and it looks great - on the back of a chair, in the center of a table, or even on the ground.

8. ADD AMBIENCE WITH DRAPE LIGHTS
The most important thing in a wedding is to create a romantic atmosphere, and lighting is often the key prop to easily adjust the atmosphere. It's also a huge budget-saving advantage, as drape lights are not only cheaper than most lights, but they also offer a softer light that instantly adds elegance and warmth.
