10 Wedding Ceremony Ideas That Won’t Break Your Budget

Modern Wedding Posted: March 31, 2014

We’re suckers for wedding aisles strewn with masses of petals, of arbours laden with blooms and suspended crystal chandeliers. You only need to search ‘Wedding Ceremonies’ on Pinterest to find dozens of jaw-dropping, swoon-worthy displays. No matter what theme you have chosen, we think that with a little creativity you can have a beautiful wedding ceremony without feeling like you’re about to break the bank! Here are ten creative wedding ceremony ideas to get you feeling inspired…

1. For the nature lover – work in with the seasons and let nature provide the decorations for your wedding ceremony!

2. For the informal wedding – forget finding chairs and instead create a picnic style set-up.
