Money Monday: Modern Wedding Ideas That Will Save You Money
Simple decor, dark color palette, contrasting details — if this sounds like your kind of wedding style, you’re probably a modern bride. A twist on the classic black-tie affair, a modern wedding doesn’t have to mean fancy five-course meals and extravagant decor that costs thousands of dollars. These days a modern wedding theme takes on a more minimalist approach that can end up saving you money. Picking key decor elements not only saves you money but simplifies your decor in a way that is beautiful and still wows your guests. If you’re planning a wedding with a modern theme, here are a few ideas that will save you money!
Keep Table Decor Minimal
Skip the multiple floral arrangements and stacks of place settings for a more minimalist tablescape. Embrace the negative space and create tablescapes that are more visually interesting, yet simple. Whether that’s creating smaller centerpieces or cutting down place settings to one or two items. Choosing a few key decor items will be more cost-effective, and the mix of striking colors and negative space will create a chic decor theme.

Have A Monochromatic Color Palette
Creating a color palette that works for your theme and encompasses 2-3 colors that work well together can be a difficult task. If you’re struggling with deciding on a color palette, consider going with a monochromatic color palette. Choose variations of one color that you can use for florals, flatware, invites, etc. This will help you save money and make your wedding item decisions much easier. You can also add in an additional accent color if your decor starts to feel too simple!

Use A Simple Backdrop
All your ceremony altar needs is a few florals and maybe some strategically placed candles! Reduce your ceremony decor for a simple look that puts the focus on you and your partner. A few key florals and candles that accentuate the natural beauty of your venue will create a budget-friendly, intimate setting. If you’re set on a specific ceremony arch or set up, consider the ways you can simplify it or use more affordable materials to create it.
