Research has shown that the month of June, September and October are popular with wedding couples. The first thing that most couples do would be to set a budget. Your perfect purple wedding reception is usually dictated by your spending parameters. As you start planning, you may also discover expenses you had not anticipated. Here are some planning tips for all brides and grooms-to-be:

1) Whether throwing an indoor or outdoor purple wedding reception, flowers help create the style and set the tone for the occasion. But warned that the cost for wedding flowers can add up if you don’t plan wisely. Set a flower budget which can be around 10 – 15 percent of the overall cost of the wedding. If your wedding flowers budget is limited, consider using beautiful and realistic-looking silk flowers with arrangements of fresh flowers to keep the costs low. The silk wedding flowers can be recycled in the home for years to come.

2) For something unique on your wedding reception, line the walkway to the reception table with fresh rose petals or lavender flowers. A bubble machine can also add fun and romantic ambience to the occasion.

3) Instead of renting table accessories and reception table linens for that day, why not look out for warehouse sale or discount retailers and purchase them. Plain white ones or a signature color for the plates and cutlery will be great and the rule of thumb is to keep the style very simple. Remember that less is more. Buying plates is often less expensive than renting and you can keep them for other occasions.

4) Be creative with your purple wedding favors. You can purchase large sugar cookies and double them as place cards by piping each guest’s names on the cookies in colored icing a day or two before the wedding. Store each cookie favor in plain cellophane bags, tied with a ribbon, and place it at each guest’s place setting so guests know where to sit.
