Wedding Decorations Should
Reflect Your Wedding Theme
Wedding decorations
can take up a huge chunk of your budget when planning a wedding.
Depending on where the wedding ceremony and reception are
located, and how big the affair is, will determine how many
decorations you'll need and the cost.
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.
