There is no doubt that planning the perfect wedding comes with a hefty price tag. There are several ways to cut down on wedding costs, such as making your own cake, having your wedding outdoors and hiring a marquee, making your own wedding invitations and wedding bouquet. Watch this video for tips on how to create a gorgeous DIY wedding bouquet.
Match Your Flowers to Your Wedding Gown
If you want your wedding gown to be the main focus when walking down the aisle remember not to make your bridal bouquet too big. Conversely, if your dress is rather plain add more glamour by creating a large and colourful bouquet.
Cross the Stems
Bunching the stems together is not the way to go about created a round headed bouquet. By crossing and twisting the stems as you bunch the flowers together you will create a flourishing round head of flowers.
Use Wax String
A DIY bridal bouquet that starts falling apart is not ideal. Remedy this problem by using wax instead of other string varieties. Wax string is ideal for wedding bouquets because it will hold all flowers together tightly.
Choose Taffeta that Matches Your Décor
What better way to tie in all the colours of your wedding décor by using the same taffeta colours in your bouquet as the rest of your wedding.
Add Some Pizazz
If you want to add some extra pizazz to your bouquet tie a glossy satin ribbon around your bouquet handle. If the taffeta is a dark colour, a contrasting light colour ribbon will really make the bouquet stand out.

Large corporate events can cost a lot, especially when considering the costs of food and drinks, live entertainment, caterers and venue hire. If you need to plan a corporate event on a tight budget, use the following tips to cut down on costs.
Keep a Reserve
Setting aside at least 20 per cent of your entire budget as a reserve is a great idea for covering unexpected costs that are bound to pop up when planning a large event.
Ask for Help
Planning a corporate party does not have to be done completely by yourself. Enlisting the help of fellow employees can cut down on costs significantly, and will make the entire process a lot less stressful and more fun for everyone.
Donations and Sponsorships
It is not a bad idea to seek out extra donations and sponsorships from interested parties. Hand-outs such as these can benefit both parties by saving you costs and giving interested companies extra exposure to boost their business.
Get Creative
Save even more of your party planning budget by getting creative with aspects such as decorations and party invitations. Sending out the invitations online will not cut down on costs, but is quicker and a more efficient way of keeping track of RSVPs. Creating your own decorations will also allow you the opportunity to put a personal touch on your event.

Summer has always been a popular month for couples tying the knot and for good reason – enjoyable weather, delectable foods and festive colours. If you are keen to throw a blow-out summer wedding with fun favours and trimmings, the time to start planning is now.
Hire a Marquee
What better way to complement an outdoor wedding setting than with an elegant white marquee? Marquees are not only a stylish addition to a wedding but they provide cover if the weather suddenly turns bad, or if the afternoon sun is too much to bear. Wedding marquees are available in all different sizes, and can accommodate as many as 500 people.
Choosing Colours
Colour is an essential ingredient in summer weddings and can be as bright or as subtle as you choose. Wedding gown colour trends for 2013 are forecast to include charming pastels in all different shades, which are perfect for a summer wedding. Why not use this trend as inspiration for your wedding table décor as well?
Embrace Nature
Natural and earthy décor and trimmings are all the rage in the world of wedding trends, and are quite at home in an outdoor setting. Garner inspiration from fruits, flowers and even vegetables to make your centrepieces complement your natural surroundings.
Refreshing Refreshments
Hot dishes are going to be the last thing your guests feel like eating when the weather is warm. Try to plan your wedding menu around the weather, and if it is forecast to be a sizzling summer day why not make your guest as comfortable as possible by adding some interesting refreshments, such as fruit and alcoholic smoothies.
