Is the cost-of-living crisis making brides more creative?

Russ Sizer • March 27, 2023

The cost-of-living crisis has made us all think differently about using our resources. And what better way to show off our creative flair than by using it to design your wedding day decorations? With so many of us feeling the pinch, more and more people are opting for DIY decorations in their wedding marquees.

 

Of course, it's challenging to recreate the luxury of a wedding marquee with just a few items from the pound shop. But it can be done if you have a creative eye and a passion for making something special for your wedding! You can transform a basic marquee into a dreamy, romantic setting with a few simple tricks.

 

For example, why not hang fairy lights around the entrance or attach some bunting to the walls? Or, if you're feeling particularly daring, why not craft some paper flowers to hang from the canopy? With some imagination and creativity, your marquee can look just as good as any you could hire.

 

Ultimately, there's no denying that the cost-of-living crisis has made brides more creative regarding their wedding planning. It has forced people to think outside the box and devise innovative ways to make their wedding marquees look as beautiful as possible. So why not embrace it, and make the best of it? After all, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

 

Alternatively, please speak to us because it probably won't cost as much as you think for the team at Zest Marquees to do it all for you.
