Budget Tips for Delhi Party Planners
- Combine fresh marigold strands with orange balloons for cost-effective opulence
- Use balloon clusters strategically at photo-worthy spots rather than entire venue
- Rent larger props and complement with balloons rather than all-balloon sculptures
- Focus on one dramatic installation (like a ceiling drop) rather than many small pieces
