A quick tip for brides on a budget who like the tall glamorous floral look for their reception. A great way to achieve the look without breaking the bank is to alternate the tall floral pieces with some shorter centerpieces. Hydrangeas are available year round in variations of colors and a great way to bring volume and elegance to any arrangement.
Don’t Be Picky
You may have to compromise with your floral decorations if you are on a tight budget; this is especially true with your flowers choices. Be open to several different types when it is time for you to choose. If you decide to buy your flowers from a local florist, tell the florist your budget and see what types of flowers they propose. Be open to the suggestions.

My now-Husband and I used Ranch Events to cater our wedding at the Spanish Village Art Center in Balboa Park. As two out-of-towners, we were searching for a venue and a caterer that could give our East Coast traveling guests a unique experience, which is when we found Ranch and their all-star Event Coordinator, Ramon. When we first visited Ranch’s site, Ramon immediately made us feel comfortable about the process. We had sampled a few other foods and had settled in on Tacos, but no other vendor really made us feel confident they could deliver the food and the tables/chairs as a one-stop-shop until we got to Ranch. Not only have we heard from our guests how fun and delicious the tacos were, the team at Ranch was able to set up our whole wedding and reception on a very quick timeline. Things could not have gone better with them.
