A Beautiful yet Inexpensive Wedding - is it Possible?

A person's wedding is probably the most planned for event in their life. Months, sometimes even years, are involved in planning the perfect wedding. Everything from the guest list to the food has to be thought out and arranged. Whether a couple is having a small family wedding or a wedding that includes hundreds of guests, most people choose to do some decorating. Decorations can be as simple as a few bouquets of flowers or as eloquent as complicated ice structures and fountains. Deciding on, buying, and setting up the decorations is one of the most important pre-wedding tasks. If you want to have a beautifully decorated wedding without breaking the bank, the following tips may be just what you are looking for.

One decoration that is commonly used in a wedding are flowers. Flowers dress up any occasion. The nice thing about flowers is that there is a wide variety of colors, types, and price ranges. Small arrangements or individual flowers in vases can brighten the room and lend a touch of beauty to any wedding. If flowers aren't in the budget, you can use cut branches or greenery decorated with twinkle lights or baby's breath as a fabulous and inexpensive ornament.

If the wedding is planned for dusk or after dark, twinkle lights, candles, or sparklers can be used to give some light and festivity to the occasion. Candles give a soft glow and are perfect to use as the marches toward the altar. Twinkle lights can line the tables or light the way up the aisle. Even during the day, these lighting options can be alluring especially if the room is dim or shaded. Wedding sparklers add extra enjoyment to the wedding for both young and old alike. Sparklers can also be used to change ordinary photos into magnificent pictures of the bride and groom. Bottle sparklers are safe and fun. They can be used to light the way as the bride and groom rush to their car and leave for their honeymoon or as a special “hooray” after the they kiss. Any of these lighting options—candles, sparklers, and twinkle lights—are an economical way to decorate.

Another decorating idea that doesn't have to cost you a lot of money is using fabric. Fabric can be used to cover tables, drape from the ceiling, and making backdrops. An advantage to using fabric over pre-made table cloths and drops is that you are not limited in the colors available. By using material from the craft store, you can mix and match textures, colors, and fabric weight thus creating a beautiful blend of rich textures and colors. You can even use matching strips of fabric to decorate chairs and tables.

Everyone wants a beautiful wedding. By using your imagination and a few of these suggestions and tips, your wedding can be beautiful and less expensive.
