Even the most budget-conscious couples can be surprised by how quickly wedding costs add up, especially with all the enticing extras wedding vendors offer. It’s easy to see why your budget can be exhausted so quickly. However, don’t worry—there are plenty of creative ideas you can incorporate into your wedding that won’t break the bank.
With the beautiful sunshine and warm weather in Cyprus, it’s no wonder outdoor wedding venues are a popular choice for couples year-round. The natural beauty of these venues allows you to embrace the scenery and keep your wedding decor minimal (and inexpensive) without compromising on your dream wedding.
So, if you and your partner are on a budget, opt for simple and subtle choices for centrepieces, escort cards, and ceremony backdrops. This approach lets you highlight the natural beauty of your Cyprus wedding venue while keeping your budget on track.
Here are 15 creative wedding ideas we know you’ll love just as much as we do…
#1 Wedding Fans
Weddings in the summer months can be hot and even humid, keep your guests cool during your wedding day with paper fans that match your colour palette or wedding theme. Tip: you can even double up your fans as programs.
#2 Floral Chair Decorations
Decorating the newlyweds’ chairs with a simple floral garland, is a more budget-friendly option that still adds a vibrant touch of colour and interest.
#3 Natural Cake Display
Embrace the natural surroundings and elements of your venue by matching your cake stand to your theme. Opt for an elegant, natural option like a wooden log slice to enhance the overall aesthetic.
#4 Unique Welcome Bags
It goes a long way to anticipate the needs of your guests and provide items they might require but could have trouble locating. Assemble a welcome bag stocked with essentials such as paracetamol, plasters, safety pins, sunscreen, deodorants and mosquito repellent.
#5 Neon Wedding Sign
Add an extra glow to your wedding with a custom-made neon sign, perfect for your welcome signage or bar decor. This illuminated statement is a wonderful way to showcase your personalities or love story.
#6 Mediterranean Backdrop
Who needs decor when your venue’s backdrop is the stunning blue of the Mediterranean Sea? Keep your overall aesthetics simple to highlight the Mediterranean’s natural beauty.
#7 Pampas Grass
Dress up your entrance, opt for an unique bouquet addition or create statement worthy pieces using pampas grass for an effortless ethereal boho feel. Tip: enhance your décor by arranging pampas grass, roses, dried palm leaves, and greenery in a large vase.
#8 Write your own Vows
We love the idea of exchanging personal vows or reciting passages you’ve written to each other. Just be sure to keep them the same length, balancing romance and humor for the perfect combination.
#9 Flower Walls
Want to make a striking visual impression? Consider a flower wall. Use it as your altar or add it to the reception space to provide guests with a stunning, photo-worthy backdrop.
#10 Display your menu
Acrylic signs are all the rage and complement any wedding theme perfectly. Use them to display your food choices, adding a unique and stylish touch for your guests.
#11 Handwritten Place Cards
Handwritten place cards add a personal and elegant touch to a wedding reception, making each guest feel special and valued. They also enhance the overall aesthetic with their unique, artisanal charm, and can be customised to match the wedding theme perfectly.
#12 Signature Cocktails
A signature cocktail for a wedding adds a personal and memorable touch to the celebration. An elegant drink not only complements the romantic ambiance but also offers a unique taste that guests will remember long after the wedding day.
#13 Mad libs for your guests
Great fun for your guests! Place them on your evening tables for guests to fill in between courses or throughout the reception.
#14 Perfect Parasols
Guests will not only look sophisticated with a parasol in hand, but these delicate umbrellas also provide essential protection from harsh UV rays. Offer them to guests for use during the ceremony on a hot day.
#15 Memorable Guest Books
Instead of a traditional guest book, have your family and friends sign something more on-theme, like a framed photo or your ceremony wedding sign. After the big day, hang it on a wall in your home to enjoy it long after your wedding date.
