Wedding decoration

Decorations set the mood

If your budget allows you to hire a decorator, you are one of the fortunate few, their services can be costly, be sure to stay within your budget. Pre planning can save you from costly mistakes that can ruin your plans.

Consider this, is your friend very creative does she have more taste in her little finger than you have in your entire body, how about asking for her assistance. People who have this kind of talent are usually more than willing to pitch in and show off their talents, show your gratitude often and in as many ways as possible. For instance, when you have your meetings, make them over dinner, this is one way of saying ‘thanks for your help’. Pay for all of the materials, right down to the scotch tape and straight pins for the boutonnieres, and even if she says you don’t owe her anything, give her a thank you gift, if you have programs at the wedding include her name as providing the beautiful setting.

A little imagination will make this a special day everyone will enjoy. Here are a few suggestions for inexpensive but creative ways to decorate:

Curling ribbon can be used to hold balloons in place, spread a little on the tables for a very decorative touch. Lightweight fabrics such as Tulle or Gossamer are wonderful decorating items; wrap around miniature lights for lighting that is both romantic and decorative. Drape fabrics between two poles to create an arbor, and cover it with silk flowers matching your color scheme.
Table centerpieces can be strands of light wrapped in fabric, surrounded with silk or real flowers. Floating candles can be a wonderful, inexpensive and romantic addition to your decorations, purchase sets of inexpensive glasses, cover the bottom with gems (stones) matching your color theme, and use them for your floating candle holders.

If you have a number of creative or crafty members among your family or friends, have a decoration making party; provide instruction sheets for making the various items, and all the supplies that are necessary. Remember to have fun and be creative; getting your friends and family involved in the creation will add a personal touch to your wedding.
