PRO TIP:
“ Many couples assume backyard weddings are more cost-effective, but they can actually be more expensive since you need to bring in everything— rentals, catering equipment, restrooms, tents, AC units, generators and more. To keep costs down, limit your guest count, use minimal florals, standard white linens, and opt for all-inclusive catering whenever possible.”

DRAPERY DECOR
Drape Art Designs of Cranston.
“ Drapery is huge right now— from heavy, romantic table linens to layered backdrops in varying directions, tones and textures. We’ re seeing this style across sweetheart tables, ceremony spaces and photo areas for a soft, European-inspired look.”
