You don’t need to spend a fortune on wedding decorations to create the atmosphere of your dreams!

By combining a little creativity with some inexpensive items, you can have a wedding straight out of a magazine – something your guests will remember for the rest of their lives! All it takes is some planning, a little imagination, and maybe a little help from your friends!

Nature’s Got It

Forget department stores – in many cases, Mother Nature can supply with a wealth of decorative items that will make your wedding day stand out!

Here’s just a sampling of what nature can offer you..

But remember, when you take items from nature, you may need permission. Farmers can be your best friend when planning a wedding! Decorate with vases filled with apples, piles of pumpkins, and stacks of hay for a harvest feel. In the spring time, ask if you can clip some blossoms, berries, and wheat. You may be able to borrow some items such as barrels or wagon wheels to add interest to your day.

Online

You can buy nearly any sort of decoration imaginable by surfing the web to find items that suit your style, theme, and budget!

Join forums to get advice from other brides, and make sure you order items well in advance to allow for shipping. You may be able to save money by purchasing items in the off-season, or by finding special discounted retailers. Shop around and make sure you are clear on what you are purchasing – read the fine print! The best part? You can shop for all your wedding decorations in your pajamas! You can also pick up deals by checking out online auction sites or local classifieds. Many brides sell off their décor items after their wedding date and you might be able to score an amazing deal on just the item you are looking for!

Economically Elegant

Cheap decorations don’t need to look cheap. In fact, with a few whimsical touches, your guests will marvel at how classy and elegant your décor looks and feels. In many cases, it’s all about color. Rich, deep hues tend to look more expensive. Creative presentation goes a long way too! Don’t just set the candles on the table – create a masterpiece by layering inexpensive but gorgeous tulle over something as simple as overturned kitchen bowls (they will be hidden). Visit a craft store or dollar store to find little embellishments – you’ll be surprised at the gorgeous little trinkets you might find.

Ask For Help

You’d be surprised at how much you can save just by asking! Don’t be shy to ask vendors if “that’s the best you can do?” Wedding professionals may also have some great tips that will help you save money – ask your florist where you can go to pick up some décor items that will match your floral arrangements. She will likely be able to point you in the right direction or come up with innovative ways to make your dollar stretch a little further, such as mixing a more inexpensive flower in with your bouquets.

If you’re on a tight budget, consider helping out another bride after you wedding by selling your décor items. You’ll be able to earn back a bit of what you spent, while helping another bride create her dream wedding. Besides – who needs 25 centerpieces hanging around the basement?
