It just so happens she saw a matching, but privately owned vehicle in the car park of her local shopping centre. Having said that, when a friend of mine was planning her wedding she was only able to book two cars through a chauffeur car operator, when she actually needed three. Don’t discount a lending hand from family and friends, you will be surprised at how happy people will be to get involved on your special day. Get online, book ahead and wrangle together relies and friends, as drivers. Mercedes Benz or Lexus? Hiring prestige cars through car rentals will save you hundreds that you would otherwise spend on chauffeured cars. If DIY is not your thing, check out businesses that hire out wedding décor items. Grab a glue gun, steal your mum’s sewing machine and be creative! Stakeout your local dollar shops, save your vouchers for craft shops like Spotlight and Lincraft, and watch eBay items for decorator supplies. Whatever your theme is, be sure to start collecting your bits and pieces early. My point being, if your going to do your own decor embrace a theme like this, so you can pull it off easily and cheaply. What I love about this theme is it’s all about handmade. The look is all about country style flowers in mismatched vases and milk jugs, mason jars as drinking glasses, hanging lanterns, pom-poms and fabric bunting and chalkboard signage. Whenever I am on Pinterest there are many whimsical images of rustic styled barnyard weddings, it seems this is the ‘it’ theme for brides at the moment. This is a lovely way to give back something that we often take for granted and making a world of difference in the life of someone who is truly deserving. They bought a few things for each table and made up tags to let guests know what they’ll be giving to someone in need. I went to a wedding where the bride and groom bought charitable gifts from Oxfam Unwrapped. The idea is you buy gifts like chickens, safe refuge, education and clean water for people living in poverty. Not only is it cheap, it’s a gift that will keep on giving to your guests long after your wedding.Īnother idea I absolutely adore is donating to charity instead of buying bonbonniere. Mixing your own seed mix is a great idea, think lavender or edible herbs like basil and rosemary. I love the idea of choosing sustainable options for bonbonniere, mainly because they’re often left behind or end up as clutter and get thrown out.
