Tips on Creating Cheap and Wonderful Wedding Decoration

One aspect you should consider in planning for a successful wedding is decoration. If you do not make a comprehensive plan for the budget, your wedding decoration may take up more money than you expected. However, a wonderful decoration must not always be expensive. You can make use of your creativity to make festive and memorable wedding decoration. 

Here are some cheap wedding decoration ideas that will help you save money for other wedding aspects.

String Lights

Lights do not only color your wedding decoration but also set the tone for your wedding. Use trees, bushes and shrubs to wrap white or gold lights around to create elegant touch to the decoration. If your wedding has champagne or yellow accents, you can use blue lights for a nice contrast. You can add a romantic glow by putting candles around your reception venue.

Skip the Tablecloths

If your wedding tables are well-polished, scratch free and attractive, you may not need tablecloths and you can skip them. This will give you a discount and save you money. You can also get another discount by skipping the linen-covered chairs and use the money for other wedding elements. This really works for cheap wedding decoration ideas.

Free Flowers

You can save money if you can make use of free flowers you have. Instead of using fresh flowers, you can make use of dried or silk flowers for bridesmaid's bouquets, centerpieces, and keepsake. You can also use luscious greenery such as eucalyptus leaves or ferns to surround a small grouping of flowers. Save your money by using fresh-cut flowers from your own garden.

Candles

Candles are inexpensive and recommended for cheap wedding decoration ideas as they can add romanticism and elegance to your wedding. Use a tall pillar candle with a wreath of silk flowers as your centerpieces. Exchange your vows under romantic candlelight on the altar. Let your guests to the dance floor and cocktail areas by lining the candles in glass votives along the walkways.

Creative Centerpieces

You have an option to skip the centerpieces entirely or make ones of your own creativity. Visit your local stationary and purchase bowls or vases for centerpieces. Give priority to those with solid colors or clear glass. Fill the bowls with water and flowers floating on top or you can use candles instead.

Get Secondhand Items

Another cheap wedding decoration idea is to make use of secondhand items form thrift stores such as stemware, candles, china, vases, candlestick holders, and other decorations. Use these used items to create wonderful wedding decoration. You need a little creativity to do it, or you can ask a professional wedding decorator to do it for you.
