Theres nothing that says a bride has to spend a fortune on the decorations at her wedding. For the price one bride pays for a basket of flowers you can decorate for the entire event! There are many quick, easy and inexpensive decorations you can make that will have your wedding looking just as gorgeous as a bride who has spent big bucks! Make candle arrangements for the table by simply filling a glass vase, jar or drinking glass with your choice of embellishments. Fill it with glass marbles, beads, shells or something else. Set a votive candle, in its container, then set it on top of the jar.
Purchase a frameless mirror at a craft store and youll pay very little. Set the mirror on a table and set a single, large flower on it, an arrangement of taper candles, or a plastic bride and groom. No matter what you set on the mirror it instantly has an elegant appearance.
Cover a Styrofoam ring with flowers, shells or other things then set it on the wedding table. In the middle of the ring you can place a pillar candle, bride and groom or even a glass bowl full of beads. The ring makes whatever you set on the table look much larger and more impressive. Cover tin cans with fabric or scrapbook paper and use them as plant holders. Cover a large coffee can and fill it with flowers for the main table. Or, glue a folded ribbon to the inside of the can and hang the planter anywhere you want for an outdoor wedding. Use an old CD to make a cake topper. Cover the disk with fabric or paper then glue on a bride and groom, champagne glass or something else. This cake topper is cute yet really cheap to make. Cut pieces of cardboard, glue a piece of satin or lace to each one, then fold it in half. Write a persons name on it with a marker and stand it up at the table. These place cards are cheap yet elegant. Make different place markers by using cheap, plastic champagne glasses. Use a paint marker to write each name in gold or silver then set a single, artificial flower in the glass. Instead of using these as place markers, forget writing a name on them, and make a different design - or none. Fill the glasses with candy to give as wedding party favors. Lay a doily or lace piece over each one and tie a ribbon around the stem to secure. Curl long pieces of gold, silver or white ribbon and lay them on the tables. Or, blow up balloons and place them on the tables, floor and other areas. Ribbons as well as balloons are really cheap yet instantly give the room a party look. Use paper cones to make flower holders for pews. Wrap the cone with chosen gift wrap or scrapbook paper then use double-sided tape to secure them to the ends of the pews. Fill with a lightweight flower arrangement. Paper cones are also great for making party favors. Simply fill them with whatever you want then fold the top down. To do this, fold in one side, then the other. You now have two points sticking out each end. Fold over one, then the other to finish. Stand an upside-down, clear glass on the table then set a bowl on top of it. Use double-sided tape or hot glue to hold them together. Fill the bowl with water and floating candles, curled ribbon, beads or other things. Its a beautiful arrangement that can be restored to its original state when the wedding is over. Having a small budget for your wedding doesnt mean you wont have the wedding of your dreams. Make your own d?cor and youll save so much money youll be able to spend more on other wedding expenses!
