Low-cost wedding fairytale

Your wedding is supposed to be one of the most memorable events in your life. However, in the current economic situation, you are probably cutting back on expenses for your special day.
That's why Minoo Hersini, creative director of Au Ciel Design Studio, has some tips on how to respect your budget while still having that fairytale wedding you always dreamed of:

• Invite fewer guests. Limit attendees to your close family and friends.
• Look into unusual spaces such as barns, galleries, studios, rooftops. Also, consider the use of your home and your friends' and families' homes.
• Choose a location that is in a close vicinity to your guests.
• Create a more casual environment by sampling food dishes.
• Create your own cocktail. Find an original name to reflect your wedding.
• Use the most creative people in order to give you the simple solutions for decor.
• A great DJ is the way to go instead of live music.
• Encourage your guests to donate to a specific charity of your choice.
