Prayer and Savings Tip:
My daughter wanted her wedding to be simple, elegant, and understated. She wanted it to be on our family farm, but the logistics of that were too expensive for our very limited budget.
After praying for a way to incorporate the farm where she, her siblings, and cousins grew up playing together, we brought the farm to the venue.
We cut the lovely, elegant branches of her grandmother's walnut tree to put in all of the vases on the tables. After adding wildflowers and ribbon they were beautiful.
We put them atop linen table cloths, along with cloth napkins, and plastic ware that looked like fine silver. It was truly an elegant affair. God is so good!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Take advantage of the natural foliage around you when decorating the church and reception venue for a wedding.
Simple and less can be quite elegant and more. Try using ivy or another elegant plant that drapes over small planters.
Purchase plain, inexpensive planters, soil, and a few cases of plants to create lovely arrangements.
They can be used at the church and then taken to the venue to complete the decorations there.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ~
