Your Wedding Blog

Need some ideas and inspiration for some wedding decorations that won't cost you an arm and a leg?  Something you can do yourself that is easy peasy?  Well, here is a selection that will surely put a smile on your dial :)

String Spheres

• Blow up balloons of varying sizes
• Wrap your desired coloured string around them
• Spray with fabric stiffener
• Pop the balloon & pull it out gently
• Place on tables or hanging around your reception venue with flowers on top

So simple yet so effective!

Lemon & Honey

Your wedding bomboniere and place card holders totally sorted...

• Buy or pick some lovely looking lemons (or other fruit)
• Buy or make place cards
• Slit a line in the lemon for the place card

• Buy small jars plus some wedding decorations to match your theme (ribbon, string, personalised stickers)
• Source some local home grown honey
• Fill jars, lick fingers
• Decorate last - very important!

Reception Drink Station

I love the simplicity of this design.  Timber, grass and drinks of vibrant colours pulls it all together nicely.  This would be easy to replicate.  You'll need:

• Rustic chunks of timber (how about a couple of large timber chess boards with pieces in place)
• Manicured grass
• Glasses, jugs and trays
• Punch and champagne to match your theme
• Some colourful fruit to complement the theme and drinks
• Thirsty guests

Flowers in Vintage Tins or Just Jars

Once you're decided on your flowers, all you need to do is find some tins and jars to put them in and have them placed on the tables and around the venue. Mix and match. Magical!

Wedding Decorations

Well thought out wedding decorations can really make a difference to your day, the atmosphere and your photos.  You don't have to spend a lot of money, creativity is all you need.  And if you don't think you can be creative then hopefully some of the above have inspired your hidden creative side.  Everyone has one :)

If you're the creative type then jump into the comments and help out the non-creative types with some ideas for their wedding decorations.

Here are some ideas for your wedding bomboniere & decorations that you'll find in store:
