If your venue needs to be decorated, make sure you set a budget beforehand and ask your florist to work around it even after he/ she shows you an album of alluring arrangements that cost the earth. Don't go overboard because the price of flowers shoots up, conveniently enough, every wedding season.

And ask your married friends who have splurged on floral arrangements how they felt after it was all over. They'll say the biggest waste was spending so much on flowers! It's not even like you'll take them home -- your guests will pluck them off the walls first! It's enough that you've fed them and shown them a good time, so remember, easy on the dècor! Have just enough to keep things looking festive and no more.
