🧾 Decor Budget Tips for THEOS Couples

• Skip full florals — invest in candles instead: THEOS looks stunning with candlelight, and it’s far more affordable.
• Use the brick walls as natural backdrop: avoid pipe & drape and oversized backdrops — they’re not needed here.
• Choose statement areas over full-room decor: focus on the entry archway, ceremony backdrop wall, bars, and guest tables.
• Focus on lighting instead of props: warm uplights + candles = instant transformation.
