For every escalating penny spent, there are also opportunities to save dollars.
For this post, we’ll focus on the reception venue. The single highest wedding reception cost is the venue, and choosing an inexpensive venue can save you a bundle. Don’t be put off by venues that may have seen better days if they’re in your dream location or have a great view. Wholesale wedding linen and fabric offer many opportunities to improve the appearance of plain-looking rooms, utilitarian chairs and chipped tables.
1. Perk Up the Chairs
Mismatched chairs, or those designed for more mundane functions, can be a tricky fix. Coordinating chair covers can make any chair look like a million dollars—and cover a multitude of sins. They can also make chairs more comfortable, particularly if they have a plastic or wooden seat. To add an extra flourish to your seating and tie your scheme and style together, chair sashes are a great way to co-ordinate plain wedding linen with your chosen colour scheme or style. They also add an affordable touch of romance.
2. Perk Up the Tables
While we’re on the subject of finishing touches, table runners, overlays and skirting can all help to disguise basic tables and make them look like something special. If you’re holding a reception in a garden or at a small hall, you’re probably hiring basic trestle-style tables. While these are functional and sturdy, they are not lovely to look at and often bear battle scars from previous hires. Extra details like skirts and runners can disguise trestle legs and make more of your table settings.
3. Buy Your Table Linens
Whether you’ve hired caterers, are using the venue’s catering team or doing it yourself, table linens are a potentially costly part of any party. From napkins to tablecloths, wholesale wedding linen offers an opportunity to dress your chosen venue however you choose and with complete flexibility. While most caterers will supply table linens, the choice can be limited and the cost of cleaning can mean it is cheaper to buy and supply your own.
4. Use Fabric Backdrops
Think creatively and there’s no limit to the ways in which wholesale fabrics can be put to good use to dress up your reception venue, making it beautiful, unique and affordable. Backdrops, whether made-for-purpose or crafted from bulk rolls of fabric like chiffon or organza, can be a useful tool to highlight special parts of your ceremony or disguise a background you don’t find so appealing.
From bold pink wedding tablecloths to wedding chair covers in the perfect shade of ivory to a rainbow of tulle and chiffon, Wholesale Wedding Superstore has a great selection of affordable wedding linen and fabric that can help you turn a drab, inexpensive venue into a beautiful space for your reception.
