Event Planning in Melbourne - Sticker Shock

In light of today's economy, very few of us are experiencing stress-free spending. So, when planning a wedding, anniversary, bar mitzvah or a celebration to remind us that good things are ahead, we are mindful of costs and getting the most "Bang for our Buck". As an event planner, I am my clients' conscientious consumer and I am there to guide them to options that cost less. Here's a tip...,flowers eat up a huge portion of any decorating budget so when picking flowers keep with seasonal blooms & the bigger the flower, the more visual volume and the fewer stems used. Also, when choosing linens avoid the specialty linens & stick to standard polyester cloths that come in a huge assortment of colors. Other price considerations are deliveries and after-hour late-night pickups. Accept help from family & friends. If no one has a truck, consider a local truck rental company...there are some truck rentals available for just $20 a day. They supply the truck & friends supply the muscle. Good Luck saving those extra dollars!
