Have you ever been to an all out social shindig, a gala event (or perhaps even a wedding reception) where you just knew that the host and hostess (or perhaps father and bride?) must have just found buried treasure - or won the lottery - or struck oil in their backyard - or broke into Fort Knox - or something - to pay for it all?
Not only did they have the finest wines and champagne but the tea for the iced tea was imported from India - the cake just arrived from Paris - and (of course) the menu was created by a very well known chef from a very well known mansion on a very well known creek somewhere in Texas!
Well I guess money sure doesn't hurt (and probably does help a bit) - BUT - don't you dare try to equate money with Elegance and Style - don't you dare!
Of course our fictitious "event" was obviously pretty nice. You most likely didn't have too many plastic flowers and paper plates and Uncle Hunkus probably didn't drink too much and (sans Auntie Doras) didn't fall down on the dance floor during his self-requested solo demonstration of the "Twist".
OK , so one person's trash may be another's treasure, and the concepts of elegance and Style are definitely subjective, with a broad range of interpretations, yet...
We know a couple who, with only a dozen or so friends and family arranged for their vows to be exchanged in a small (yet very attractive) inner courtyard & flower garden of a church. following this simple ceremony the couple took everyone (including the minister and his wife) to a very nice restaurant for brunch in a private room. Simple, Elegant, Stylish and not terribly expensive either.
For most of us our wedding event will fall somewhere between a Daddy Warbucks gala event and the very intimate and small affair just noted. The nice thing is that without exception you can make your wedding day an elegant, stylish event you will remember for the rest of your life.
Good planning and a little foresight can make up for having limited funds. You can usually plan an elegant stylish wedding within any budget.
Elegance and Style have no limits and no price tag.
Before you start getting too deep into your wedding plans make sure you have taken the time to speak with as many wedding professionals as possible (not only is advise cheap, in this instance it's usually free!). You may want someone else to handle the nitty-gritty details of the wedding (a very time consuming and not necessarily fun task) and by linking up with a wedding professional you won't overlook anything; you will know in advance what your cost will be; and, you can be assured that your special day will have the Elegance and Style you will cherish for years to come.
Elegance and style have no limits. If you want a Texas-styled cowboy wedding - a hot air balloon wedding - GREAT - especially when they are done with a little bit of Elegance and a lot of Style!
All of this on budget you can set up in advance and (most importantly) live with once you (or yours) are married.
