Professionally designed wedding decorations can be quite costly. Even simple handcrafted decorations can make a major dent in the wedding budget, but store-bought décor is not necessary when coming up with decorations for a wedding. Instead of consulting a professional when planning embellishments for the wedding celebration, consider the following unique budget wedding decorations. They are exceptionally easy to craft, and they are ideal for anyone striving to stay under a predetermined wedding budget.
Unique Mirrored Budget Table Decorations
Mirrored placemats are quite expensive, and they are not practical for those trying to stick to a wedding budget. Instead of buying mirrored placemats for each place setting, center one flat wall mirror on each table to create lovely bases for centerpieces. When used with candles, the mirrors will gently reflect the candlelight and create a soft glow and an enchanting atmosphere.
Artificial Floral Decorations on a Budget
Those shopping for unique professional floral arrangements will discover how expensive they are. Although they can be very beautiful, professionally arranged flowers are not necessary decorations for a wedding. When shopping for unique budget wedding decorations, consider creating oversized artificial floral arrangements without professional assistance. Buy clear budget vases, and fill the bases with iridescent flat glass marbles. Select long-stemmed flowers that match the wedding colors, and fill in the openings with dried baby’s breath, artificial fern branches, and trailing variegated ivy. These unique budget wedding decorations will look amazing, and they can be crafted for far less than the cost of ready-made arrangements.
Unique Lighted Trees for Every Season
Unique and highly captivating lighted wedding decorations can be designed on a budget using ordinary tree branches, fine iridescent glitter, heavy glazed flower pots, and strings of small white lights. Also required is a block of foam to fill the pots, white spray paint, spray-on adhesive, and dried moss to cover the foam.
To make one lighted tree, begin by locating and spray painting a large tree limb with a sturdy base and plenty of smaller branches. It should appear full and look like a miniature tree. After the paint fully dries, coat the branches with spray-on adhesive, and sprinkle on fine iridescent glitter. Fill a heavy glazed pot with foam, and use it to hold the branch steadily in place. Decorate the sparkling painted tree with small white lights, and finish by covering the foam with dried moss. These unique budget wedding decorations will look breathtakingly beautiful, and for far less than the cost of custom-made wedding décor.
Beautiful Eye-Catching Candleholders on a Budget
Candleholders are a must for reception tables, especially during evening celebrations. Store-bought candleholders can cost a small fortune, but when striving to stay under budget, opt for these unique yet simple eye-catching candleholders that look far from budget priced. They can be used as centerpieces, and when placed on the aforementioned mirrored placemats they will look absolutely stunning.
To make one unique budget candleholder, place an inexpensive clear glass votive holder in the center of a globe-style base. Fill around the votive holder with decorations such as flat glass marbles in a preferred color. Place a votive candle in the holder, and light the candle several minutes before the wedding celebration begins. When placed on each table, these unique and easy budget decorations are certain to generate compliments.
When looking for ways to decorate for an upcoming wedding, keep in mind that some of the most impressive decorations are handmade. Delve into your imaginative side, and make these unique budget wedding decorations instead of buying similar items through a wedding décor specialist. They will add style and drama to any space they embellish, and they will help create an atmosphere of enchantment, no matter the season or theme of the wedding.
