Determining Factors

Decorating for a wedding doesn’t have to break the bank. All you need is a little creativity and imagination. In fact, the decorations should be your last priority. After the location is chosen, after you’ve picked out a dress and after you’ve chosen a date, you’re then ready to deal with the décor.

The type of wedding you have determines your budget. For instance, if you want your wedding reception to take place in your parent’s back yard, chances are your wedding is going to a casual affair. If you’ve rented out a big catering hall, you’ll probably want something a little more formal. Either way, you can still decorate inexpensively.


Flowers

You don’t need to go to a florist for beautiful floral decorations. If you can plan ahead far enough ahead of time, you can plant seasonal bulbs or other flowers on your own property. Just before the big event, the flowers can be dug up and transplanted into small flower pots. If this seems like too much work, you can also go to your local nursery or home improvement emporium and purchase pots of tulips or flats of annuals. These plants can all be separated and planted in small individual containers. (Cheap flower pots, baskets or other items that can double as planters can be found at the dollar store, the nursery or the florist – the florist may even have discarded flower pots that are just going to end up in the trash anyway.).

Decorate your pots by spray painting them in gold, silver, or metallic colors matching your wedding theme, or wrap them in foil paper and adorn them with ribbon. Not only can several of the decorated pots be grouped together in the middle of the table for a centerpiece, but the individual flower pots can be used as wedding favors and taken home by the guests! Larger pots of flowers can be placed up and down the aisles, at the altar, on the bridal table and at the parent’s tables.

Candles

Candles can be used much in the same manner as the flower pots and make great cheap wedding decorations. Inexpensive candles of all shapes and sizes can be found at the home decorating store, discount mart and even the dollar store. Decorate them with ribbon, lace or baby’s breath. Grouped together and lit, candles make an elegant and attractive centerpiece. Place the candles on a mirror for an even more glamorous display.
