Ways To Save Money On Your Wedding

After considering all of the vendors required to contribute to the average wedding, the costs can be in excess of $28,000 dollars. Seeing how most newlyweds neither have the savings, nor the income to support an expense like this, everyone is looking for ways to save money on their wedding.

One way to save money at your reception is to make your own centerpieces rather than pay a florist to make custom arrangements. Floating candle centerpieces can be just as elegant as a bouquet and can cost a fraction of the price if you use inexpensive materials like hurricane candle holders.

Don’t let the savings to be had fool you into believing you will have sub-standard centerpieces. Even as affordable as they are, homemade floating candle centerpieces can actually be more beautiful and elegant than some extremely expensive decorations.

Hurricane candle holders can be used to make static centerpieces when they are filled with items like flower petals ollr glass beads, or they can be used for dynamic and mesmerizing centerpieces.

Filled with water and floating pool candles, they can attract the attention of your guests for hours as they study the delicate balance of water and fire separated by only a thin layer of hot wax. They create the perfect ambient light for any reception.

Not only are tall hurricane candle holders beautiful, but they are also extremely useful. For example, most guests are both intoxicated and distracted by good conversation. Hurricane candle holders add a very needed barrier between your guests and the open flame. Alternatively, that same barrier can be used to protect the flame from wind and rain.

Although there are several styles of hurricane candle holders, it is recommended that most first time planners use the traditional straight barrel shape. The forgiving sides are blank slate for nearly any type of use during and even after the reception.
