Cake Ideas

1. The first cake is a simple layering of sponge cakes. For DIY'ers this is a simple but unique solution to get you out of fussing with the difficult process of creating icing for your wedding cake.

2. Did you know that having the pastry chef put flowers on your cake can cost an extra several hundred dollars? Save money and make your cake extra special by adorning your cake in berries of the season, which is easier than creating a flower display for your cake.

1. Colored Layer Cakes helps DIY'ers with stylish and playful icing-free cake design		2. Simple Berry Display Saves on Cake Costs and adds personality!

Table Decor Ideas

1. This has to be my all time favorite Martha Stewart wedding ideas. Making your favor as the centerpiece saves money which is great, but by having your centerpiece as flowers gives you the drama and romance of flowers while cutting your costs in half! Some people worry about leaving their tables empty by the end of the night, but, at most weddings the centerpiece is given away as a prize or take by the last guest anyway's.

2. People often wonder how to spice up their tables and decor without going overboard and still keeping things classic and inexpensive. A simple colorful runner is a great way to add excitement to your tables. These are also really easy to make... just a couple folds and there you have it. I'm sure a local seamstress would be willing to do it for little money if you don't have the time or confidence to do it yourself.

1. Flower Favors as Your Centerpiece		2. Simple Runner Saves Costs and Adds Style

Seating Card Ideas

1. Depending on the type of flower you use, your seating cards can add drama or a cheery playful feeling like with the daisies below. This is definitely and easy DIY project for your wedding!

2. The second one is also very simple, but allows you to personalize with colors and fonts.

1. Easy, Affordable and Cheery Seating Cards		2. Simple Seating Charts Easy to do And Easy to Personalize!

Flower Ideas

1. The first of the Flower arrangements from Martha Stewart Wedding ideas is a great example of mixing different sizes and colors of bouquets. It shows how easy it is to Include 2 or 3 smaller arrangements on one table and 1 big on another. The other great thing about this example is that it uses different containers, which can be found in most households!

2. The second image is perfect because it combines different colors with one type of flower. If you're doing your flowers yourself this will make things ALOT easier for you. Plus, it's always cheaper getting a whole bunch of one flower. Varying shades in one color ads variety and depth to your wedding, and can even help the process of picking bridesmaids dresses and invitation colors easier!

1. Varying Colors and Sizes		2. Using the Same Flower In Different Shades and Sizes

Favor Ideas

1. If you haven't noticed, I really like the idea of giving people flower favors. This first idea is a simple way to present your flower favors to your guest while saving money and adding a little pizzass!

2. Another favor I really love is the tea favor. In this example Martha Stewart uses loose leaf tea and wraps them in a natural cloth-like tea bag. The finishing touch is the pretty label. This is not only an inexpensive favor, but also eco-friendly (like all flower and food favors) and easy to personalize with labels and tea flavors.

3. If there's one thing Martha Stewart really drives home, it's the idea of presentation. This third example is just a simple box with a simple string and a simple wax emblem. Very inexpensive, but, incredibly impressive and rich-feeling.

4. Homemade favors are a great way to show appreciate and show off your talent! Martha Stewart shows the importance of packaging yet again in this example. Professional labeling, even with simple packaging is a must. This example is both inexpensive and lovely.

1. Dress up your flower favors simply with tiered display		2. Loose leaf tea is easy to personalize and inexpensive
3. Impressive packaging doesn't have to be expensive		4. Homemade favors are valued more when given the honor or professional labels and packaging

 

Why Every Choice Matters

I hope you have some new ideas. Now learn how to make your choices make good budget sense. In my wedding guide "Perfect Weddings Without the Debt" I talk a lot about themes and colors, and explain how the right overall choices can save you thousands on everything from your cake to your flowers - and give you some great ways to save on everything from your decor to your beverage costs.

Wedding Math

Considering that you'll have an average of 12 tables at your wedding, did you know you can spend $900 on flower centerpieces alone!

"Perfect Weddings Without the Debt" advises on how to bring this cost down with wise choices, and apply it to the many other costs associated with your wedding (or you can pocket the savings for your new, debt-free life.
