Hi friends! We're flying from Kansas to California for a small destination wedding with a beach ceremony and a restaurant reception. We've gotten our beach permit from the city and have already planned to rent some benches or chairs and an arch. I'm a little stuck on what level of decoration should be included. We'll be flying back home a few days later so I don't want a ton of flowers we'll just have to throw away and unfortunately the rental companies I've found with chairs/benches and arches don't have a wide array of smaller decor items to rent. Since the reception is at a restaurant, I'm not sure how much effort I'd like to put into decorations. I can only pack so much in a suitcase anyway, ya know?
Has anyone else run into something similar and have any advice on what to do or what level of decoration to worry about?
