DIY Decor That Looks High-End: A Guide for the Non-Crafty

You don't need to be a professional florist to have beautiful wedding decor. With a few simple tricks, you can create a stunning atmosphere for a fraction of the cost.

Simple Floral Arrangements

Stick to one or two types of flowers in mass quantities. Baby's breath is incredibly affordable and looks cloud-like and ethereal when grouped together. Greenery like eucalyptus is also cost-effective and adds a lush, organic feel.

Table Settings

Rentals can add up fast. Instead, look for:

  • Colored Glassware: Thrift stores are goldmines for unique goblets.
  • Candles: Nothing creates ambiance like candlelight. Use varying heights of pillar candles for a dramatic effect.
  • Linens: A simple cheesecloth runner adds texture and romance without breaking the bank.

Repurposing Decor

Make your decor do double duty. Your ceremony arch flowers can become the backdrop for your sweetheart table. Bridesmaid bouquets can be placed in vases to become centerpieces.
