Cheap Wedding Decorations Can Actually Make Beautiful Weddings

Wedding decorations are essential because they metamorphose the wedding venue from being boring to stunning. They give life to a spiritless place and add attitude to it. Not having a generous budget for decorations is not a hindrance to having an elaborately adorned wedding. Wedding suppliers have responded to this situation by having cheap wedding decorations that are friendly to the eyes and pocket.

Flowers. Wedding flower arrangements are really expensive. Specify your budget to your florist. There may be elegant flower arrangements using flowers that are in season. Carnation is one of the cheapest flowers and if you pack carnations together, you’ll have a very nice creation. For the bridal bouquet, you can have roses in your preferred colors tied with sheer or satin ribbons. To fill up the space in the ceremony and reception venues, rent large potted plants like ficus or tropical palms. Try to avoid having your wedding in February because flowers are expensive during the Valentine month.  Get really practical by holding the wedding right after Easter or in December because most churches will likely be decorated because of the Christmas season and other religious events.

Candles. You can get inexpensive candles at home centers and discount stores. You can also check your place if there is a budget store within the area. There’s no need to buy scented candles because those are more expensive. Just choose your desired color and accent them with ribbons and laces.

Just Married Sign. Instead of buying a “Just Married Sign,” just buy washable window markers that come in different colors. You can write anything you like on the car windows. It won’t be limited to ‘just married.’ You can write your names or a phrase from your wedding vows to make it more romantic. Let everybody (who sees the car) know how happy you are on your day and how much you love your spouse.  These markers leave no traces after washing. You can write on glasses, ceramic tiles, mirrors, rocks and mylar and you can use them in other occasions.

Arches. An outdoor wedding looks incomplete without an arch. Buying an arch is very expensive so the solution to it is to rent. Check your local party rentals to find the arch that you need. Adorn it with silk flowers, roses, greenery and tulle depending on what you like.  You can also go for a balloon arch if that’s what will blend with your wedding theme.

Ground Luminaries. No need to buy expensive luminaries. You can make your own using a punch tool and some paper bags. You can also use some discarded materials like tin cans. Remove the labels, clean them, make some holes and spray paint them. Add some sand to add weight to the cans then place the candles. The number of luminaries you need depends on how long the pathway is. Be conscious of the time you need to prepare all the luminaries.

Christmas Lights. Having a winter or Christmas wedding? This is what you need to add further lighting. No need to buy a new set. You can just utilize the Christmas lights you normally use. If that’s not enough to irradiate the area, you can borrow your parents’ Christmas lights for a short while.

Wedding Cake. This is one of the major attractions at the wedding reception. Guests will definitely look at it but not all of them can have a taste of it. You don’t have to ask the service of an expensive baker. There are bakeshops with affordable cakes that look and taste really good.

Wedding Bubbles and Confetti. Instead of buying these two items, why not make them? Though wedding bubbles and confetti are generally inexpensive, whatever amount you pay for them is a deduction to your budget.  Have a get-together with your friends and ask them to help you make the confetti while you share some of your wedding ideas with them. Prepare the colored papers, the puncher and the paper slicer. For the wedding bubbles, you can just look for a clear glass container and make a bubble wand by looping out a thin wire. The bubble solution is just made of water, dishwashing liquid and glycerin. You can make as much as you want.

With those cheap wedding decorations mentioned above and creativity, you can make your wedding perfect. Just like the way you have always imagined it.  Now, we can say that there’s hope for couples on a tight budget.
