Planning
Your Wedding Decoration Budget

When it comes to your decorating budget it
really depends on where the ceremony and reception will be on what
decorations need to be present as well as what if any; themes that you
are choosing.
For example, if you are planning an indoor dinner, you have to include
centerpieces etc. The most common decorating choice for weddings and
reception are flowers, and streamers.
While the streamers and various other decorations are generally
inexpensive, the flowers can kill you. It is best when choosing your
flowers for a wedding service and reception to use false flowers or
paper machete flowers as they are cheap and reusable.
For those who would much prefer to use real flowers, it can be much
cheaper to go with wild flowers and/or hand picked flowers. It is also
a good idea to use them sparingly.
For example, rather than going all out and decorating everything with
flowers just use a simple arrangement for the center of the table and
place them in small vases or hand made crafts.
Of course you can also opt to keep the flowers strictly in the
ceremony. Paper machete flowers re getting more and more popular as
well as hand made roses that were created from tissue paper. When they
are placed on green pipe cleaners or wires that are covered in green
tissue paper they are quite attractive. It is a nice way to save money
and spend some time with your friends and family in creating them.
When it comes to the decoration budget, this is a time when you will
want the church, chapel or hall for the ceremony to cover them for you.
If that is not possible, the ceremonial decorations can be limited to
those involved in the ceremony, such as their clothes. If you must, you
can pin balloons to the areas where the guests will be seated or create
some flowers out of tissue paper.
Streamers are always used, but there are other ways to decorate that
are just as appealing. Here are some good tips for decorating at your
wedding on a budget.
· A really unique idea is to use glass containers and putting baby fish
in them. It is very unique and attractive, and it is also cheap because
the glass containers can be purchased at Wal-Mart and even a dollar
store. The fish can be as cheap as you want them to be
· Good old candle holders and candles are always a romantic addition to
any wedding decor
· If your reception is at night it is nice to add fireflies to a glass
container with holes for air or even butterflies during the day
· False flower arrangements in a bamboo pot are a very nice addition
and keepsake for guests
· Using white Christmas lights streamed through greenery is a beautiful
decoration and is one that you likely already have available
· Chocolate and candy flower bouquets are sweet accents to the décor
and they can be souvenirs for the guests later.
· Balloons, balloons, and more balloons are always fun
These are not the only decorations that are available but you are
getting the idea. The best thing that you can do before choosing your
decorations is to choose a theme first. Themes for weddings are just
like choosing themes for anniversaries and birthdays. Once you can
decide on a theme, you can decorate around that theme.
For example, if you are choosing to have your theme be tropical
romance, you can use glass containers with sand etc. as centerpieces to
your reception. Some extra and easy to afford themes include those that
will be listed in the table below as well as some of the things that
usually accompany them.
These are common wedding ceremonial themes that are used as opposed to
the reception themes mentioned above; of course they can be used as
reception themes too.
