Eat Drink & Be Married: The Rehearsal Dinner

Just because you are decorating "on a budget" doesn't mean your party has to look like it's on a budget too. In fact, with a little creativity, there are tricks you can use to create elegance without extravagant cost.

For example, a monochromatic statement makes centerpieces dramatic and formal -  regardless of the flower you choose. Another cost-effective idea is to create a different centerpiece for each table using whatever flowers you have available to you.

So in the spirit of  budgetry and craftiness, I invite you to "relax, let us pull up a chair, as the dining room proudly presents... your dinner.*" (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
