It is easy to be place off track when you think of the huge monetary expenses that might be incurred with a large turnout of guests, inclusive of wedding crashers (we know it always happen). But the good part is that hosting traditional marriages has a more flexible approach these days than formerly when it seemed you had to break the bank. One could choose to go low key while still hold a grand white wedding or vice versa.
What’s in the flexibility? For a public ceremony, you could choose to go with the canopy style set up (most people go for this) or a grand cocktail style like what you would have seen in Ovation. The latter requires more detailing and higher budgeting.
