The Best Wedding Decorations Ideas

Although a wedding is really about the ceremony, for many of your guests, the real wedding begins at the reception (i.e. food + dancing + open bar = serious fun). For the bride and groom, the reception is usually when they get to relax and let loose as well, but the planning of the reception is anything but relaxing, especially if you’re trying to stick to a strict budget.

Luckily, there are plenty of ways to save money on fun, elegant, and memorable decor. Here are ten inexpensive wedding reception decoration ideas.

Save Money on Wedding Reception Decorations

1. Use White Christmas Lights
Many people use white Christmas lights all year round on their back porches as a simple and elegant decoration. And these lights can make a beautiful addition to any wedding reception venue! They can be hung from the ceiling, around tables, around the cake, or in potted plants. If you don’t want to use Christmas lights, consider lanterns instead.

2. Tie Ribbons
Seat covers can be expensive to rent and a lot of work to make. Instead of using seat covers, get some beautiful wide ribbon to tie on the backs of the chairs to add some elegance and spruce things up. Ribbon is a cheap alternative compared to fancy seat covers. Enlist the help of friends to get the ribbons cut and tied for the big day.

3. Add a Water Feature
A nice addition to the entrance of your reception would be a water fountain. It could even be a small one that you have in your home that sits on a table. The sound of a water fountain is so refreshing, and it would be nice for your guests to listen to as they can finally relax at the reception.

4. Use Feathers
Feathers are a big trend in wedding decor. Buy them in bulk from a craft store and create large feather wreaths to hang on the walls or add them to centerpieces of flowers for an elegant (and inexpensive) look.

5. Decorate with Food
The wedding food and drink menu you choose and the way it’s arranged on platters can add lots of pizzazz to your big day. Huge and assorted apothecary jars of candy on the dessert bar create a festive mood, while gorgeous trays and farm fresh cheeses and rustic bread can instantly make the party have a more organic feel.

6. Add Candles
There’s nothing more romantic than a dim room lit only by the glow of hundreds of candles. And luckily, candles are inexpensive.

7. Cover with Fabric
You can get yards of your favorite fabrics at a craft store and use it for everything from covering tables to draping from the ceiling (i.e. sheer fabrics work well for this and create a romantic atmosphere). Get creative with material to create a soft, intimate atmosphere.

8. Have a Picnic
I was at an outdoor wedding once where reception “tables” were just blankets and pillows on the ground and each blanket had its own picnic basket filled with goodies and wine. It was fun, classy, and unique – not to mention much cheaper than a formal affair with chairs.

9. Display Your Engagement Photos
Your guests will love to look at your engagement photographs, and your reception is the perfect place to display them. In fact, your reception may be the only place that some of your guests will ever get to see your engagement photos. And while you’re at it, bring some of your favorite pictures of you and your spouse-to-be to show at the reception. If you are unsure about displaying them in frames or in a collage, consider creating a slide show for reception entertainment.

10. Have Fun with Flowers
I went to a wedding once that had some large flower displays. They looked like large flower balls. They were elegant, eye-catching, and memorable. To be honest, I don’t remember any decorations other than the flower balls from this wedding. While these displays looked professionally made, a bride and groom could make these flower balls themselves by getting large styrofoam balls (at a craft store like Michael’s) and inserting the stems of the flowers into them. These would be inexpensive to make as long as you either used silk flowers or ordered your flowers from an online wholesaler to save money on wedding flower arrangements.

Wedding Reception Theme Ideas

While a themed wedding may not be the best option for everyone, it will enable you to have a more focused approach to planning your reception decorations. By tying in all the wedding elements, such as centerpieces, flowers, favors, and overall reception appearance, you will simplify the process for yourself, make decisions easier, impress your guests, and save money.

The most difficult part will be picking the theme. You need to make sure the theme is fresh, elegant, and appropriate for you and your spouse-to-be. Make sure you do not pick a theme that could be mistaken for a prom theme, such as “Under The Sea.” Have fun with it, but make sure it is mature. Here are 3 ideas to get you started:

1. Black and White
With a black and white themed wedding, you will base everything off of the basic and elegant colors of black and white. This is a very inexpensive theme for the bride and groom because the guests themselves will be the main decorations. At a black and white wedding, guests are invited to wear black to set apart the bride and groom who will wear white. A word of caution: Do not make your theme white and some other color other than black. Most guests will already have something black to wear and would not have to purchase a new outfit for the wedding. If the bride and groom want to save money for themselves, they need to make it easy for those attending the wedding to save money as well.

2. Seasonal
No matter what time of year it is, it is always some season, and therefore, you can always do a seasonally themed wedding reception. Holidays, such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter, are very easy to decorate. You could also decorate according to spring, summer, autumn, and winter. For example, if you are doing a spring wedding, you could have a garden theme including gardening tools as centerpieces and little potted plants as the wedding favors. Decorating seasonally will allow you to save money on your wedding flowers as well.

3. Zen
There are so many things that you can do with a Zen wedding reception theme. Just like with a Zen wedding ceremony theme, you can set up a reception that is relaxing, refreshing, and peaceful. Set up a water fountain as the guests walk into the reception hall. Once the guests are inside, allow them to be transported to another world. Set up paper parasols, bonsai trees, rock gardens, lanterns, and origami. Guests will have a lot of fun with this theme, just like I did at a Zen themed wedding I attended a few years ago. It will be memorable for all.

Final Word

Wedding receptions are big, elegant parties, but they don’t have to cost as much as you think. With a little creativity and some do-it-yourself know-how, you can create a romantic atmosphere for your big day.

Do you want to know why every Pinterest wedding (aka fake wedding shoot) is super tiny and only has ten people at it? Because decorating a small space is easy. And more importantly: decorating a small space costs significantly less than decorating a big space with the same amount of stuff. (Math! It’s never your friend.)

So if your wedding plans involve a big empty space (think social hall, rec room), it’s understandable if the prospect of decorating might be… daunting. Big empty spaces come with their own set of challenges: tiny details are liable to get swallowed up, but trying to tackle the question of scale without destroying your budget is hard. Which is why the answer for big empty spaces is often less about how you fill it, and more about how much you can fill it. Aka buying inexpensive decor in bulk. Think: paper streamers, honeycomb decorations, balloons, and anything else you can buy large quantities of, fill lots of space with, and not spend a million dollars on. But how do you do that without making your wedding look like a children’s birthday party?

The answer is: it’s all in the execution. So when our friends at Oh Happy Day launched their brand new party shop this month, we were pretty excited. While the online shop features some things you’ve probably seen before (honeycomb decorations, streamers, balloons), this #lazygirl is very into the idea of having it all in one place, curated by someone with a designer’s aesthetic, so I can give my Googling a rest. We thought we’d use the launch of their shop as an excuse to show you a bunch of different ideas for decorating big empty spaces with lots of cheap (cute) decor. Because with a cool idea, bulk decorations in a big empty space can actually look way more stylish than the intricate details you see on those fake weddings on Pinterest.

Just… don’t tell Pinterest I said that.

Whether your historic wedding venue won't let you bring in a big installation, or you just want to keep the décor to a minimum, we have 5 totally doable ideas to turn your reception space into a celebration that's all you.

1. Drape the Ceilings

It's amazing what a little fabric can do. Keep it formal and elegant with white fabric, or if you're after a fun vibe, opt for a bright color like yellow. Bonus: Take this approach and you can go light on the table décor and still get the same decked-out reception look.


2. Pick Up Patterned Pillows

If you have a lounge area in your reception space (or made one with some rental furniture), get yourselves to a housewares department for some pillows. Find them on sale (IKEA-style) and cover them with your favorite patterned fabric for a few low-maintenance pops of festive color and pattern.


3. Create an Escort Card Display

Instead of the old escort card table idea, create a bulletin board of seating assignments and display it near the entrance of the reception space. Bonus: You won't have guests squinting at tiny tented cards, trying to decipher their table number.

4. Hang Your Flowers

Think flowers are just for your tables? Think again. Suspending lush arrangements a few feet above your guests' dinner plates is a fun way to create a more intimate space. (This tip is especially handy if you're not so fond of your venue's carpeting—just keep people looking up!)

5. Make Chalkboard Signage

Chalkboards in a photo booth are pure fun—but they're also a great way to decorate an entrance or jazz up the cocktail bar. Personalize it by thrifting an old frame and spray-painting it to match the rest of your décor. Drape with greenery or a flower garland and chalk away!

Despite the myth that inexpensive weddings innately appear substandard, elegant nuptials can be achieved on any budget. However, doing so with limited funds requires that you prioritize which elements of your wedding are most important to you and set out a plan for allocating funds accordingly. Ashley Douglass of Ashley Douglass Events and Tzo Ai Ang of Ang Weddings And Events offer their expertise on how to fashion a beautiful budget wedding that looks like a million-dollar affair.

1. When in Doubt, Opt for Simplicity
The enemy of elegance is clutter, so keep your wedding décor streamlined if you're working with a strict budget. "Keep the overall look simple instead of trying to execute a ton of DIY details that really should be done by professionals. White, Ivory and all shades of grey are simple and elegant," explains Douglass.

2. Plan Your Floral Décor Strategically
Flowers are essential, but a floral bill can quickly bust a budget if you're not careful. Douglass suggests that the solution is adopting a strategic attitude about where you place your flowers and which varietals you select. “Trying to keep your flower budget very very low by not having enough flowers on the tables is not going to make you happy!” Douglass advises. “Be smart with your flower choices if on a very tight budget. Nix the peonies and the orchids, and so get more flowers for less money,” she suggests. Ang seconds the notion, elaborating, “If you're working with a strict budget on floral design, I would design one large statement piece that guests see when they enter the space, like the escort table. Really impress the guests with the first thing that they see and make it feel luxurious.”

3. Limit Your Guest List
Instead of attempting to throw a lavish wedding for 300 guests on a shoestring budget, Ang advocates cropping the guest list. “Rather than spread a small budget over a large number of guests and have to cut corners in multiple areas; treat your nearest and dearest to an intimate and unforgettable experience,” Ang suggests.

4. Dabble in DIY
Though she strongly advises against completely submerging a wedding in DIY décor, Douglass does provide an exception to the rule: paper items. “Save money on your day with paper; ceremony programs, menus, and seating cards,” she states. “Find creative ways to take on these particular projects yourself; maybe you have a friend that is a graphic artist. You can use the same fonts as used on your invite, you can flat print in color even at your neighborhood printer, etc. This route can be a worthwhile way to save money, provided that you get cracking on these items way in advance to be safe,” Douglass advises brides.

5. Make Your Entrances Grand
Your guests may not remember an inexpensive linen here or a lack of floral arrangements there, but they will recall their entrance into your wedding. Make your attendees' entree into your nuptials striking by positioning flowers, candles, and other elaborate decor at your location's doors to set the tone for the occasion. “Never forget the entrance and exit of each event space,” Douglass insists. “If your wedding is casual enough paper illumina is easy and low in cost, as are 9-inch glass cylinders with floating candles,”

Flowers are a wedding day staple, but that doesn't mean they have to be everywhere. Whether pretty petals have already taken over the bulk of your décor or you're just not that into an abundance of blooms, you may want to consider opting out of floral centerpieces. Plus, as these ideas prove, there are so many ways to "think outside the bloom" with your wedding centerpieces. With that in mind, we've come up with some creative and modern alternatives, for traditional and nontraditional weddings alike. Between candles, branches, paper supplies, and thematic decorations, the opportunities for flowerless table décor are endless (and endlessly chic!).

Instead of pouring your entire reception décor budget into the centerpieces, consider using part of that budget to rent extras like colored glassware—it'll make your tables pop in an instant.

9.Order Calligraphed Menus

Rather than printing out your escort cards and menus, take the design one step further with calligraphy. There are different scripts for every type of affair, like traditional copperplate for black tie formal or something more free-hand for farm-to-table chic. Your budget doesn't allow for 200 professionally calligraphed place cards? Invest in young talent—post the job in your local college's art department and test out a few students for the job.

10. Use a Table Runner That Pops

Look for modern table décor inspiration, like this patterned table runner. Rather than having several big floral centerpieces, space them out in smaller bud vases to span the length of the runner (and show off the pattern). This colorful detail will make your rental china pop.

11. Reshape Your Table Numbers

Want something original for your table labels? Think about number presentation. Display your table numbers or names on unique vessels like wine bottles, lanterns, moss topiaries or festive pennant flags.

12.Make a Family Photo Wall

For an easy conversation starter, create a wall of family wedding photos. Devote a row to his family, one to yours or just mix them all up. Alternative idea: Showcase your (new!) family tree.

13. Hang (a Ton of) Paper Lanterns

We know—paper lanterns are nothing new. But multiply the number of lanterns you usually see hanging in a reception space by 100 and it's a totally different story.

14.Mood Lighting En Masse

When paired with some dramatic uplighting and luxe fabrics, the addition of tall taper candles turns your space into a magnificent scene of dancing lights.

15.Photo Backdrops
