Flowers are fabulous — but every bud adds up! If the large floral displays are over your budget then use stuff that's cheaper and easy to get - buy small trays in bulk or paint old bottles. Place tea lights or candles in and done! You’ll get to enjoy their warm, flickering glow as you place a small bouquet in and guests will love it!Know Your Flowers
Paper Décor
Paper over flowers is a very big money saver! Put your origami and craft skills to use and create brilliant décor. Right from flowers to birds, the sky is the limit.
Recycle It

Reuse bottles from around the house or go bargain hunting for cheap glass wear at markets. Just add one flower to each bottle and you’ll save a little dough with an on-trend minimalist look. Quick tip, those gorgeous sea blue Bombay Sapphire bottles from your cocktail night can be your wedding centrepieces once you get the labels off!
DIY Booth
If you love the photo booth idea, but don’t want to dish out serious cash, consider making your own. Flower walls, balloons and strips of ribbon are all Instagram-worthy backdrops. Plus, make a sweet corner using common household items - frames, gardening tools, baskets and flowers. Don’t forget the props!
Flower Strings
Don’t want to spend lakhs on a jazzy mandap? Decorate your mandap with strings of well-placed flowers and say hello to gorgeous décor!

Choose a venue that doesn’t need many additional decorations. While going venue-shopping, look out for banquets with exquisite chandeliers or outdoors with an amazing view. This wedding at Chowmahalla Palace did not need much decor!Borrow
This one needs a lot of patience and little extra effort. Borrow or pick pre-owned décor items like Mason jars, doilies, old mailboxes, milk glasses and create your own décor. You can even use your old pickle jars with lovely flowers!
Plan to hit big sales
Pre-plan your décor and hit all the big sales for all your DIY stuff and also what you want to use as it is! Westside and Big Bazaar have some easy crockery (hello, vintage tea cups) on sale that you can lap up to create cute centrepieces. Look at household items, Pinterest and make it happen!
