HOT TOPIC Our local experts solve your wedding dilemmas CLEVER THINKING I’m a bride on a budget. I have a ‘maximum spend’ for my venue decor, where do you think my money will be best spent? The ceremony room, the tables or even the dancefloor? Decorations are important throughout your wedding day but one of the best options for your budget is to choose decorations that be can used throughout your entire day. For example, decorations for your ceremony that can then be repurposed for your wedding breakfast; or flowers to decorate your aisle can be then used as centrepieces! Ceremony table decorations can then be used on your top table or a backdrop to frame the table for your signing photos during your ceremony. It can then be moved to be the backdrop for your speeches and can even frame your DJ in the evening. Karen Smith | KMS Hire www.kmshire.com CREATING MEMORIES My nan is unable to make my wedding.
