When you think about décor, you usually think about cohesive colours and thoughtfully arranged flowers, but décor is much more than that. Decorations are the most noticeable part of any wedding and can really affect the whole atmosphere. They express your and your partner’s personality and lifestyle. When you choose the theme, start looking for proper decoration as soon as possible. There are so many options nowadays that it might get overwhelming to choose.
There needs to be a balance in the décor, so if you see many different things that will match your theme, don’t rush to buy them all and incorporate them at the wedding. If you’re not sure what colours you want, what theme you want or what decorations you need, you can always consult with a wedding planner or an expert and get it sorted out. This way, your wedding will look exactly as you want it to.
Glass Vases
Glass vases can be the perfect wedding decoration. They are so versatile that they can fit in almost every wedding theme. Everyone loves beautiful, freshly cut flowers as a centrepiece. They brighten up the room and give it a breath of freshness and refinement. The most important thing with this decoration is that it shows the whole flower, the entire bouquet that is the main attraction on the table. When you want to buy beautiful tall glass vases for wedding centerpieces, always go for the completely see-through ones for the best effect.
Glass also works well with any type of lighting, especially natural. If your wedding is bright, it will accentuate the vase; if they’re more subtle, the wedding vases will give out warmth and serenity to the room. They come in many shapes and sizes, so they can look elegant, sophisticated, bold or subtle. You can go tall, short, round, square, curvy or squat; it all depends on your personal preference.
If you get tall glass vases for wedding centerpieces, you can also fill them up with sand and shells to match your beach-themed wedding or with colourful stones to add to the contemporary style you want. If you’re going to go with the shorter version, you can always fill it up with cute succulent plants that look beautiful on a simple and elegant table. You can even use them as a candle holder to add some mood. Or make a combination of a few varieties, but make sure they look cohesive.
Balloons
Balloons always remind us of fun times and celebrations, so why not incorporate them at your wedding. They are an inexpensive way to bring joy and make a statement on your big day. You can install them in many shapes and sizes to add dimension and wow the guests at the same time. A colourful rainbow installation over the reception table will look marvellous. You can try a balloon garland that’s incredibly trendy these days over the guest tables. If you combine it with some vines or neutral flowers, you’ll get a gorgeous decoration that everyone will talk about.
Another way to make a statement is to get one wall completely covered in them. The best way to do this is by choosing a singular palette but with many sizes. Levitating white balloons over the pool will bring out elegance and sophistication if you’re doing a summer wedding. An ombre balloon backdrop with an asymmetrical design will stand out as well. You can drape them over the dessert table with a smooth fall to the ground and intertwine them with greenery for a rustic design.
You can do anything you can imagine with these simple rubber decorations. Create a walking aisle, a big chandelier over the dance floor or write your name on the wall. There is no limit to what you can achieve.
Manzanita Trees
Manzanita trees are an excellent choice as wedding centrepieces and decorations. They’re great for adding shape and mass to floral arrangements, hanging lights, and draping décor. It’s no surprise that budget-friendly wedding accessories like Manzanita trees have become popular. They won’t break your budget and will still look like a million-dollar decoration.
Potted manzanita branches in the centre of a table form a gorgeous centrepiece. The height gives structure and complexity, while the slim shape and distorted branches allow interaction between people on opposing sides of the table. There’s a Manzanita tree for every style, with colours like silver, gold, red, pink, white and neutral. You can decorate the base of your centrepieces with handmade flowers or other accessories.
The branches are strong, so you can even hang some wedding favour boxes on them or tiny crystals that’ll reflect the light. You can add LED lighting to them, and it’ll be a fun and subtle way to add light to the tables. You can use them indoors or outdoors and with matching decorations every season.
Bird Cages
If you’re searching for a unique wedding centrepiece that you can make yourself and don’ require much time or money, a birdcage is an excellent choice. It can handle a variety of accessories and will effortlessly match any theme. To start, select birdcages that complement your wedding theme: white for the vintage, garden, and rustic weddings, dark shabby for Victorian weddings, and chrome or brass for a romantic atmosphere. Next, decide how you’ll adorn them. Flowers are a common choice, but you can also use ivy, grass, leaves, jewels, pearls, crystals, and other ornamentals.
Pick the cage to match your colour palette, but remember that neutrals and metallic colours work best because they complement a range of flower tones. You can prop them up on a wooden stand to add more height and make them stand out. Hang crystals inside and combine them with low growing fresh plants or put a candle inside and surround it with pink blooms. You can also add the table number at the top while a mix of greenery and flowers sits inside the cage.
