Quick Tip

I saw this post over at Wedding Scoops (a recent blogroll addition) that is SUCH a great example of what the right venue choice can do for you.

Notice the tables aren’t full of flowers or overly fancy place settings. Yet the room overall seems elegant, classy, inviting, and very upscale. Notice that the drapes and the Chivari chairs are similar in color, as well as the sconces and overhead lighting. The walls, tables and linens are very complimentary with the other elements in the room. Just adding clean glass and some low floral arrangements really pull the room together.

The best part of all is that much of what you see in the room is likely to have come from the venue itself, meaning the people holding the event didn’t have to rent additional chairs, linens, etc.

So! A few things to keep in mind when you’re looking for a venue and you want to save some change:
-Finding a place that doesn’t need lots of “extras”, though it may cost a bit more in the beginning, may very well save you money in the end.
-Working with the existing elements of the room takes less work in making the space look complete (and you’ll spend less money trying to convert the entire space into something that looks totally different).
-Don’t be afraid to ask what’s included in your package. Perhaps you can use alternative chairs for just a few more dollars or even for free.
