By Jonathan Hermann

Nothing beats Pinterest, Instagram and TikTok for weddingplanning inspiration, but if you find yourself being sucked into a vortex of ideas that is way out of your price range, step away from your computer and let us help you edit your plethora of ideas into an affordable( and realistic) vision. After helping many couples plan and organize their ideal ceremonies, we have discovered that there is always a budget-friendly option to all aspects of destination weddings. Here are our top seven ideas to help you save while still enjoying the best wedding ever.

Focus on Local Flowers
Chances are you picked your wedding destination because of its spectacular beauty, so forgo expensive over-the-top floral arrangements and let the natural surroundings shine. If fresh flowers are a must, save money with simple, local arrangements or add a splash of color with garlands or centerpieces made only from greenery. These vibrant, ontrend arrangements can be made with anything from ferns to rosemary and add major bang for the buck. You can also reuse your bridesmaids’ bouquets as centerpieces at the reception.
