On July 31st, Jamie and Grafton were married. They had a simple reception that was very cost efficient yet elegant because they chose to highlight a few parts with some very nice touches.
Consider renting demitasse cups for a coffee bar instead of using large coffee cups or plastic. You can still use the cheaper plastic service for the food and other drinks. You could also rent china plates and real silverware for the cakes only. Again, this will add a unique touch, but it's not something you have to carry out through the entire event.
Re-use your flowers. The bridal party bouquets are some of the most beautiful flowers of the entire wedding. Set out empty vases at the reception and use the bridal party bouquets as part of the decor. Another money-saver is to use the rehearsal dinner flowers at the reception (As long as both families are willing). You can use the exact arrangement or re-do the flowers for a new look.
Jamie and Grafton re-used all the flowers from the rehearsal dinner at their reception by reworking the arrangement. No one ever knew.
Congratulations to Jamie and Grafton, it was a wonderful wedding!
