They\u2019re an easy way to have fun with friends <em>and <\/em>get Instagram-worthy shots to commemorate a special event! Plus, photobooths create a rather convenient setup for the event photographer.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, photobooths come with a set of props that guests can pick from and use to make their shots all the more fun. Your clients can choose from <em>tons <\/em>of options to include in their events, in terms of what they want the props to be and\/or say.<\/p>\n<p>The best part? These props can be dirt cheap! Online stores, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=photobooth+props&amp;ref=nb_sb_noss_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a>, offer full sets for less than $20.00 USD.

You can fill decorative lanterns with candles, flowers, stones or whatever else your client would like!<\/p>\n<p>Even something as simple as a faux gold lantern with clear glass can appear regal and expensive, when in reality, your client paid less than $20.00 USD a piece. Plus, if the event has a specific color scheme or theme, you can paint decorative lanterns to match the rest of the decor!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weddingshop.theknot.com\/product\/medium-decorative-candle-lantern-gold?utm_source=theknot.com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=2018&amp;utm_campaign=editorial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Knot Shop<\/a> sells these beautiful lanterns at an easily-affordable price, while also providing great deals and savings if you buy multiple lanterns in bulk.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-69.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18579\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-69.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-69.png 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-69-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Mason_Jars\"><\/span>3.

They can be incorporated into the tables\u2019 centerpieces, used to display floral arrangements or to hold decorative pens for the guest book, etc.<\/p>\n<p>You can easily elevate the look of mason jars using paints glitter, ribbon, miniature chalkboards and so much more! Their clear, simplistic design makes for the perfect canvas.<\/p>\n<p>Since mason jars can even be found in dollar stores, your client can stock up on loads of them for a <em>very <\/em>budget-friendly price!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_White_String_Lights\"><\/span>4. White String Lights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I, for one, can think of very little else that\u2019s as romantic as dangling white lights. Is your client\u2019s event and\/or reception taking place at night? Strings of white lights can add an intimate, magical flair to the atmosphere!<\/p>\n<p>String lights have plenty of practical uses, too. For instance, you can line the tables with them, or you can strategically pick specific areas to show them off throughout the venue. If you\u2019re decorating a wedding, white lights can even be used to line and accent <a href=\"\/blog\/2016\/08\/help-clients-pick-right-wedding-cake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the cake<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>White lights also extremely adaptable, in that you can use them whether the event is taking place indoors or outdoors. This kind of event decor works for practically <em>any <\/em>environment!<\/p>\n<p>Rest assured, you can easily find these lights, no matter the season. Amazon, for example, sells them by the hundred <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/LIDORE-Christmas-Lights-Decoration-Connection\/dp\/B00MHOBWYK?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">for $9.99 USD<\/a>.

Play with Your Food<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Okay, maybe not literally. What we mean is that you can consider the <em>way <\/em>in which an event\u2019s food and drinks are displayed to be decor in its own right.

Stack up the trays to create an aesthetically pleasing flow! Will the event include some sort of candy bar? Use those mason jars we previously talked about to group certain candies together! With a bit of extra preparation, you might even go so far as arranging the candies for guests according to color!<\/p>\n<p>The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Fake_Greenery_and_Florals\"><\/span>6. Fake Greenery and Florals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your client feels strongly about protecting the environment, many believe that faux plants and flowers make for <a href=\"\/blog\/2018\/06\/cutting-out-cut-flowers-with-event-coordinator-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a great, affordable way<\/a> to decorate the event while also keeping it eco-friendly because these products are reusable. Even if this <em>isn\u2019t <\/em>at the top of your client\u2019s priority list for moral reasons (which is fine), it\u2019s often a cheaper alternative than authentic greenery.<\/p>\n<p>You can take this idea as far as your client is comfortable with. You might simply use fake florals and\/or plants for the centerpieces, or you might replace ALL the bouquets and flowers with synthetic replicates. In many cases, fake florals are a lot cheaper than going to a florist to obtain the real thing.<\/p>\n<p>If your client is concerned about the use of plastic (as this would in fact be <em>counterproductive <\/em>to any green initiatives), you can find many alternatives made from other sustainable resources, such as silk. Just make sure to research into the companies, so you know whether or not the silk has been harvested in a way that doesn\u2019t kill the pupa.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-71.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-71.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-71.png 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Copy-of-Event-In-Post-Event-Logo-Overlay-135x135-71-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Real_Greenery_and_Florals\"><\/span>7. Real Greenery and Florals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On the other hand, some argue that the real thing is the best (and only) environmentally friendly option for event decor. Or maybe your client simply doesn\u2019t like the look of fake flowers. Either way, you\u2019ve got it covered! This is your client\u2019s big day, so if she wants real florals and greenery, she should have it.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of <a href=\"\/blog\/2018\/10\/what-does-an-event-decorator-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">event decor<\/a>, flowers and greenery have way more uses than just your traditional bouquets. Florals can be used to elevate centerpieces, be masterfully woven into the rest of the room\u2019s decor, or even stand alone in beautiful arrangements! Have you ever seen those <a href=\"https:\/\/thebridelink.com\/inspiration\/2013\/07\/how-make-hanging-flower-balls-wedding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">big, hanging flower spheres<\/a>? They\u2019re sensational!<\/p>\n<p>While real flowers may be a tad pricier than their fake alternatives, you can still find cost-friendly options for your clients. For example, a client can make them herself by simply purchasing Styrofoam balls and then inserting the flower stems into it. She can also purchase her event\u2019s florals in bulk from a wholesaler to get a better price.<\/p>\n<p>Another option? YOU can do the florals <em>for <\/em>your client!<\/p>\n<p>By adding floral training to your resume, you can expand your event and wedding planning business by also acting as your client\u2019s florist!
