Simple Wedding Decorating Ideas For The Busy Couple

Decorating for a wedding does not have to be difficult or stressful. When people think about weddings, they often get carried away with concern about all of the planning and the details, the elaborate decorations and of course, how much the wedding will cost.

Today, as people are working longer hours and spending less time at home, even the thought of planning a large, decorative wedding can be too much for a busy couple.

It is possible to have a beautiful wedding with magnificent decorations without all of the stress! The following article will provide some information on simple wedding decorating ideas that you can use to make your special day memorable!

There are hundreds of simple wedding decorating ideas that you can use to make your wedding day elegant, without all of the fuss that comes with intricate, time-consuming decorations that require extensive planning.

Choosing colors for the wedding is sometimes one of the most frustrating choices a bride has to make, and it can complicate the decorating process (the bride’s favorite color versus the one that will actually look nice in the wedding, etc). Therefore, before you even begin to look at decorations, pick a color scheme and then stick to it when you begin to plan the decorating process. As you begin the process, stick to these two colors – this will save time and will make it easier to narrow down the decorating options/choices.

Another simple wedding decorating idea to adhere by is to immediately eliminate any sort of motif or theme you may have in mind for the ceremony and/or the reception (for example, an Italian wedding or a Las Vegas theme wedding). It’s often best – and much less time consuming – to make the ceremony and reception all about you: the couple getting married, and less about the “theme.” Often, people get caught up in elaborate and detailed themed weddings, and it can make the decorating process very tough.


Simple wedding decorations do not have to be “simple” in nature. Simple can refer to the effort it takes to actually plan and decorate for the day. An example of a simple wedding decorating idea that can add a wealth of beauty is the use of flowers.

Flowers are a fact of life when it comes to wedding decorations, but not all floral arrangements are created equal. Work with a professional florist (ideally one who has experience with weddings) to put together beautiful, colorful bouquets, centerpieces and other decorative arrangements to fill the room, church or whichever venue you select for your wedding. Flowers are a simple wedding decoration that can add so much elegance and class to a room. And, the best part about using flowers as a simple wedding decorating idea is that the florist does all the work for you!

One simple wedding decorating rule to stick to when you’re planning the set up of the room is that less is usually more. Instead of piling the dinner tables with knick knacks and other decorations that no one will notice, dress the tables with simple but classy floral centerpieces. Use solid color flatware with matching napkins.

Instead of wrapping bows or balloons on tables and chairs, invest in nicer, dark-wood colored chairs and leave them free of decorations. This will make the floral arrangements that are on the tables stand out and will alleviate any additional decoration “clutter” in the room.

Identifying simple wedding decorating ideas is the best way to have a beautiful wedding that is stress-free! Keep in mind that the main decoration at your wedding should be you and your partner! Therefore, instead of worrying about what the decorations should look like and wondering if the guests will like them, remember that all eyes will be focused on you: the happy couple! To that end, worry less about expensive, cumbersome wedding decorating ideas and focus more on your special day!
