Create a wedding trellis for your wedding and construct yourself. It is simple and not expensive. You can purchase bamboo by the foot in different thicknesses. All you need is three pieces and wire ties, and some fabric to wrap around the bamboo, either seashells or some greenery to decorate and you have a gorgeous trellis for your beach wedding ceremony. Centerpieces for your beach wedding can be simple and if you are doing a destination wedding, I suggest relying on local flowers which will be much more economical. Candles can be found everywhere, are romantic and not expensive.

Another pointer, when it comes to food, stay local, stay fresh and with what is in season. You will get your best deals with small catering companies. When you are doing things yourself, you are best to deal with smaller companies or individuals then with larger corporations.

If you are considering catering the reception yourself, which is a huge undertaking, keep it simple. This is one time when you do not want to do anything too far out. There is nothing wrong with calling upon relatives or friends to cook or bring a specialty dish. People love to be involved and help. Maybe you supply the proteins and ask others to bring the accompaniments. Just make sure you know what everyone is bringing so that all your bases are covered. It is fun to decorate a food table using colorful pieces of fabric and elevations for the food. Fresh flowers or palm fronds look fabulous on a tropical buffet. I absolutely love this pineapple tree kit, which makes it so easy- I have used it a million times and guests always rave about it. Chef Mike's Pineapple Tree
