Decorations?!

Decide the look you want. Browse Pinterest for ideas of colors, centerpieces, etc.


What is your season/colors you've decided already? Then decide if you want formal, casual, etc and go from there. Is it daytime/evening?
You can shop at Amazon. Try to buy local (glass is heavy and expensive to ship) and rent from your florist as much as you can. Joann has sales all the time plus coupon codes.

Yea!

I know what look we want! Our colors are neutral colors and kind of going for a classy vintage/rustic look! Wedding is in the summer!

See how much you can rent from your florist to cut down on buying things yourself

We've decided that we are actually going to do our own flowers! Mom is really good at it so we are lucky enough to have a...naturally born florist in the family? lol! But I guess I'm more wondering like what did everyone start with when buy decorations!

I had something similar and I got my vases and candles from IKEA and my florist did the greenery for me

Ohhh! That is very pretty! When it came to the decorations, what did you start with first? Like the vases, candles, etc.?

I bought candles first because they were easiest. I found centerpiece ideas on Pinterest and made those. Then my aisle markers. Then I picked out tablecloths and extra little details.

View Quoted Comment Wow, okay so yea I may start with candles then! I already have cases saved from my sisters wedding so I may start with candles and then maybe do some DIY projects that I have saved up! Thank you!!

View Quoted Comment I knew what I wanted so I bought them all at the same time and then worked with my florist for the greenery look I wanted. You can probably find the log blocks on Facebook marketplace and maybe even the vases. I ended up selling all of mine for half of what I paid for them.

My centerpieces and decor had a similar vibe to what you're going for.

I found a lot of my decor on sale at Michael's and Marshalls. Not everything matched, but I didn't mind. We were going for a vintage look.

Some of the gold terrariums were different shapes, some vases had different bottoms. I picked up a bunch of baby's breath two days before the wedding and the venue put them in the vases for us day of. I bought a crap ton of twinkle lights off amazon and put them in the terrariums.

We were happy with how everything turned out. I'm not a huge fan of DIY as it can be stressful for me, but it wasn't too much work! We saved a lot of money buying decor on sale and DIYing what we could. I also got a good amount of decor that isn't pictured here off of Facebook marketplace.

I’m starting with table cloths and floral and going from there! I’m a fan of going shopping without anything in mind, and seeing if something speaks to you! Then go from there!

Try oriental trading co!
