Flowers are usually a first choice for decorating. However they
can get quite expensive. If you want to cut wedding costs, choose single flower centerpieces for tables, and consider
large balloon bouquets for banquet tables.
Of course, before you decide on any type of wedding decoration,
you should first choose a theme. In this way you can coordinate your colors and theme idea to your wedding decorating choices.
This makes planning much easier. With a wedding theme, decorating ideas will quickly present themselves to you.
Wedding decorations do not need to be overly expensive.
In fact, creating your own wedding favors and decorations can save you quite a bit of money in the long run.
There are many good wedding decorating books on the market that walk you step-by-step
through many wedding craft projects.
Wedding Decorating Ideas:
Here are some quick wedding decoration ideas to get your
creative juices flowing:
Candles are a great favorite and they set a warm mood.
You can use large pillar candles, floating candles in a nice bowl, a collection of votive candles in holders of different
heights, taper candles, or perhaps tealights surrounding a single flower vase. Another popular choice are gel candles
with theme items displayed within the candle.
Balloon bouquets are always nice. For a fraction of the cost
of flowers, you can decorate the whole room, including tables, with small and large bouquets.
Use garlands, streamers, ribbons, and tulle to swag along
table fronts, doorways, or across the ceiling.
The bridal bouquet and those of the bridesmaids can be
placed along the front of the head table as extra flower decorations.
String small, twinkling Christmas lights across the ceiling,
in bare branch trees, or entwined with garland.
