There’s no denying that weddings are expensive. For couples on a budget, DIY wedding decorations are a budget-friendly way to have your dream wedding look fabulous! DIY decorations can actually make your wedding reception venue and table setting look more unique and personalised.
Look for less expensive alternatives or eliminate items that aren’t a must-have. For example, spending less on certain items like candles – unscented candles instead of scented – saves money so you have a little extra to splurge on a few special (and more expensive) items to add a bit of luxury to the décor without breaking the bank.
Here are a few ideas for DIY decoration ideas for your wedding reception in the UK that are fantastically budget-friendly but will look like a million bucks!
Pick up a few second-hand vintage candelabras to give the tables a romantic and elegant feel. If you’re having a garden reception you can also use hanging candelabras to really make a statement.
Candles are a really inexpensive way to add sophistication, and romance to any setting. Whether you use pillar candles with a variety of heights to cluster together for a more rustic look or elegant tapered candles, candles can make a grand statement at a very affordable price.
Instead of using traditional floral centrepieces, dress your tables with a stunning floral table runner dotted with different coloured glassware and candles. For a more budget-friendly option, opt for a creative display of artificial flowers.
Grazing tables are the new fad in the UK. Not only are they a great way to include a variety of fun snacks for cocktail hour, but they also look incredibly impressive. Having smaller, yet classy, bite-sized snacks and desserts that you’ve chosen and purchased yourself is an affordable way to provide appetizers without using a caterer.
Nothing creates magic better than fairy string lights. For small areas, this is a particularly smart way to add some glamour without spending too much money.
When it comes to wedding reception decorations, there are plenty of ways to break with tradition. Using funky mismatched and colourful furniture will instantly give your ceremony a boho, quirky, and relaxed vibe.
