Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr. is a Florida resident who, for many years, was a professor at the post-graduate level. He is a writer, a sought-after conference speaker, a man who lived in five continents of the world, having received his education in four of them. When he resided in southern California, he wrote a weekly column for the daily “Anaheim Bulletin,” which was carried for about six years, until he moved to south Florida.

On The Budget Ale Montesdeoca

Gorgeous Low Budget Wedding This wedding was very challenging. I had to work with a very low budget ,but even with low budgets it’s possible to do pretty things. We all know flowers are not cheap, and the bride wants to purple as accent colors, so the idea was bring purple using ribbons and strass. Once again Hy- drangeas was the best choice. It’s pretty and elegant.

Strass, purple ribbon, hydrangea some purple roses.

rich details.

Silver table cloth, purple ribbons.

Purple is a very pretty color. It’s rich and modern.

Guest Table, simple and elegant.

Details make the diference.

The Bride asked me for a Cala Lilie bouquet. I did use strass to give a charm.

If your budget is low, you can always do something nice and pretty. Ribbons, strass is an inexpensive way to make dif- ference on your wedding or party, float candles instead of flowers.

On The Budget always find a good solution to make your party special and beautiful.
