Inexpensive Wedding Decorations And Supplies

: Making The Right Choice

are not hard to find. You can make your ceremony and reception seem lavish with just a few well chosen decorating ideas.

First impressions count, so plan your wedding supplies and setup carefully to gain maximum results from what you can afford. For example, you can create dramatic centerpiece decorations using a variety of foliage to complement your flowers. Add some fresh fruit displays and candles for a variety of different effects.

It's not always necessary to buy all your decorations. You may be able to borrow vases, mirrors, table centerpieces, plants, vases, mirrors, arrangements of dried flowers and other supplies from friends and family. Your wedding venue may be able to lend you some items.

Enlist the help of friends and family of both the bride and groom, not only to set up decorations on the big day, but in the planning stage as well. And don't forget to check with the management at your venue to find out if there are other weddings planned near the time of your own. You might be able to coordinate or share the decorating expenses with another wedding couple.

Some points to consider as you plan your decorations and supplies:

Mood

What's the style of your wedding: casual or formal? Contemporary or traditional? Decisions like these will help dictate your use of flowers, candles and other decorative elements.

Colors

Have you decided on a main color for your wedding design? This may be a seasonal color or just the couple's favorite. Try to coordinate the color of the decorations with what members of the bridal party will be wearing.

Site

Take photographs of the site of your ceremony and reception to help you plan inexpensive decorating ideas at home.

Time

Don't underestimate how long decorations can take to set up. You may only have a few hours to decorate the church or other venue -- and you may need to remove the decor quickly too.

Table arrangements

If you have large tables, consider having several smaller centerpieces rather than a few large decorations.

The simplest wedding decorations can have a dramatic impact when well chosen. Keep your costs down by complementing a few more expensive items with imaginative decorations, clever lighting and artful arrangements of furniture and floral displays.
