Let your friends help you
Many people find it difficult to ask for help. Don’t be one of
them! Decorating for your wedding requires a lot of people, and
you may not be able to afford to hire someone for every task. Let
your friends help you decorate the wedding site; they are usually
more than happy to contribute to your special day. Together, they
may even save you the expense of hiring a wedding planner.
Make use of inexpensive flowers
You may be surprised at the amount of flowers you can get for very
little money to help decorate your wedding site. The trick is
choosing the right kind of flower. Baby’s breath, a filler flower
often used in arrangements, is inexpensive as well as adorable.
You can tuck this delicate white flower into almost anything to
give it a formal feel. It makes a wonderful detail when it peeks
out of the center of a beautiful bow. Likewise, make use of faux
flowers that can be purchased at craft stores. Use these for
decorations up high on arbors or entryways; no one will be able to
tell they’re not real.
Decorating chairs and pews
If you are looking for a cheap wedding decoration for
plain-looking folding chairs or pews, make a trip to your local
discount fabric store and pick up lots of white
tulle. It’s simple
to have someone use the fabric to connect chairs that line the
aisle. Use a swag pattern and drape the chairs on the aisles with
fabric.
If you’ve got access to outlets, consider using tiny white
Christmas lights within the tulle. Then place a pre-made tulle bow
on each chair and you’ve turned plain rows of rented chairs or
boring pews into an elegant yet cheap wedding decoration.
Make use of what you already own
If your ceremony location is a bit bare and needs a little bit of
greenery, why not use houseplants as decoration? Make use of them
by placing them in matching pairs at the end of aisles. Or, you
can place pairs of two to define an entryway.
If you don’t have
pairs of plants, go to the nursery and buy a few more to add to
what you already own. The plants will serve to enliven the space
and give it warmth. Not only will they be a cheap wedding
decoration, but they can also serve to add life to your home for
years to come. You may also choose to give them away to your
favorite helpers after the ceremony.
If you are able cut a few corners here and there on your wedding
ceremony, the cost savings will really add up in the end. If done
correctly, none of your guests will know you saved a fortune on
cheap wedding decorations, and you can put your money toward more
important things, like a honeymoon in Tahiti!
