How to Make Cheap Wedding Decorations Using Christmas Items
Winter weddings are not only stunning, but offer something a June wedding does not: Christmas. Decorations are easy to find this time of year and can easily shrink your wedding budget. Creating ornaments as decorations is a great way to create a lasting memory for you and your guests.
Greenery is inexpensive, if not free, and ornaments and lights tie it all together. Look for sales on Christmas decorations to score the best savings. A table dressed up with greenery, lights and bowl in the center filled with ornaments is the perfect and inexpensive solution to a winter wedding table.
Items needed:
- Greenery
- Clear round ornaments
- Items to put inside your ornaments, wedding confetti, fake snow pictures of the bride and groom, tinsel, etc.
- White lights
- Glass bowls
- Candles
Directions
- Contact local tree sellers and ask about the tree scraps from the bottom cuts on Christmas trees. The greenery works wonderful for lying out on tables. Use floral wire to piece it together if you prefer to hang greenery around the venue.
- Wrap white lights in the greenery to make it sparkle. Lights are inexpensive and add ambiance to a room.
- Fill clear glass ornaments with selected items. Add tinsel, confetti or fake snow first to create a bed for items to sit upon and to hold them in place. Insert a photo, flower or other object. Add cap and tie ribbon around the top. Ornaments can also be filled with potpourri of your choice; it is up to you how elaborate or simple to make them.
- Arrange greenery and lights around a glass bowl centerpiece. Add candles, if desired, or lights inside the bowl. Set ornaments around table or fill the bowl with them.
