Wedding Decorating Ideas

Does anyone have any interesting/unique ideas for decorating a wedding or reception with paper?

This may sound crazy, but I love a challenge. I'm considering making the bulk of my decorations (for a smaller wedding, thankfully) out of paper. I have found a few different kinds of paper flowers that are really pretty and I am considering making 1000 paper cranes as well. Any other ideas? Thanks for your input!

I love your idea!! For some of our wedding decorations and stationery, I used Japanese washi paper. What kind of colors or patterns are you using?
Given the delicate appearance of paper crafts, I would suggest using a very limited palette of colors, or several shades of the same color-- to really make the room pop!
If you havent already, check some books on Japanese paper crafts-- there is so much more than just the standard origami--
Your idea sounds fun! Good luck!

favor boxes w/ m&ms - need help figuring out how much to order?

i'm sure someone out here used m&m's as their wedding favor... i was planning on ordering the 2"x2" wedding favor boxes and filling them with custom printed m&m's in our color scheme, but i have no idea how many oz/lbs of m&m's i should order. the only thing i can find on-line is that the box holds about 90 m&ms, but that doesnt really help me since they sell them by weight, not number - haha.

I would take a box that size and go to the store and buy some M&Ms and fill the box. They weigh them on a postal or food scale.
15 lbs of M7Ms is about right and the funny thing is they are really heavy. They are small and fit to together closely in the box so the box will hold more than you think.

Wedding Favor Boxes is a post from: Wedding Decoration Ideas

There are assorted pre and post ceremony decorations, considered for any wedding; one of them being marriage ceremony decorations for ceremonies in banquet hall. Decorations characterize the ambiance and style for a marriage reception and ceremony. The diversity of nuptials decoration designs is indefinite and the components one can consider for the decorations are immense. For instance, one must consider entryway and pew decorations for the wedding ceremony.

Reception decorations comprise the cake, receiving line, tables and banquet hall. With numerous things to consider, a couple has to be keen on the decisions made for the nuptials decorations of that special day.

Magnificent candelabras, multi coloured fabric yards, an alter full of flower stands and a stunning bride looking at a striking groom; such a marriage ceremony celebration is the height of elegance. Nuptials decorations for banquet halls and ceremonies vary and a couple has the freedom to choose what they please. A balloon-filled walkway, coloful confetti and guests blending in a room full of sparkling lights. This kind of a marriage ceremony makes up an exceptional event. To achieve ambience on one's wedding day, nuptials decorations are the answer. Marriage ceremony decorations can create an elegant, exquisite, lavish, captivating and inviting atmosphere on a wedding ceremony. Glowing candles and beautiful flowers exhibit innocence and romance creating an alluring atmosphere for marriage ceremonies. For banquet halls, decorations such as rich, deep fabrics, spectacular table settings and sparkling light can do the magic and define a luxurious atmosphere. To decorate a banquet hall or ballroom lavishly, use enormous flower-patterned centerpieces to crown each table.

If one's intention is to hold a themed marriage ceremony, find out if the interior designer one has hired will be able to decorate the banquet hall accordingly. Whichever marriage ceremony decorations one chooses, first discuss the rates with one's decorator and discuss on any extra costs. Decorating a banquet hall in a particular style is really a matter of choice. Some halls are permanently decorated but if that is not the case, install decorations like murals and it is wise to be as neutral as one can. Elegant lighting and tall columns present a perfect compliment for virtually any theme. No Canadian banquet hall wedding ceremony can be complete without marriage ceremony decorations in it. Wedding decorations are important in every wedding and this gives every couple a reason to choose the decorations with a lot of care and contemplation for the marriage ceremony.

Decorating For Wedding Receptions Table Sizes

Wedding Decorating is a post from: Wedding Decoration Ideas

Major emphasis is put on the wedding ceremony, wedding flowers, bridal accessories and bridal wear. But the wedding is often over in a flash while the reception can last long into the night. Make a good first impression as they enter your reception area for the first time with gorgeous reception decorations.

Location, Location, Location

You can host your reception almost anywhere. Some of the most popular places to hold receptions are churches, halls, restaurants, gardens and mansions. Consider the unique pros and cons your reception location presents when reviewing a reception location. What existing decorations can be used? How will the space function? What will need to be rented or purchased?

By choosing a dynamic reception location, such as a botanical garden, art museum or antebellum mansion, you can reduce or eliminate much of the decorating expense. Lush foliage or architectural details can act as your decorations without another penny being spent.   

Focal Points

You can invest less money into wedding decorations by focusing exclusively on focal points. Rather than adding floral swags to every chair, add one large floral arrangement to each table. Create several smaller wedding cakes to be placed at each table, instead of one large one dominating a corner of the room.

Lights, Camera, Action

You can use far fewer wedding decorations if you adequately highlight the ones you have with dramatic lighting. Colored lights or spotlights will direct your guest’s eyes to the areas you have decorated. The undecorated areas will fade into the background. 

Think Thematically

Let your theme dictate your wedding decorations. If you are having a beach wedding, use natural beach items such as shells, sailboats and sandcastles to decorate your space. For a childlike feel, you can even use pool toys as wedding decorations.

If your wedding takes place in the winter, sprinkle snowflakes around the tables and drape thousands of twinkle lights from the ceiling. If your wedding is at Christmastime, you can even display decorated Christmas trees, hanging mistletoe and maybe even gingerbread houses on the tables.

Reuse, Reduce, Recycle

You don’t have to have a “green” wedding to take advantage of the advice to reuse, reduce and recycle.

Purchase wedding decorating items you can reuse again or give as gifts to your guests. This can include centerpiece accents, candle holders, champagne flutes or potted plants. After the wedding reception, reuse or re-gift the items.

To reduce on wedding decorations, you can reduce the need for elaborate decorations by choosing an ornate location. At your wedding reception, you can use larger tables, reducing the number of centerpieces and table linens needed.

Finally, recycle your wedding accessories to be used as reception accessories. For example, have your bridesmaids recycle their handheld bouquets as table decorations.

There are many ways to decorate your reception area without breaking the bank. Your goal should be to create a beautiful area for your guests to celebrate your nuptials with you and your new spouse.

Wedding Decorating Ideas, Wedding Reception Table Decor

Decorations For Wedding Reception is a post from: Wedding Decoration Ideas

Major emphasis is put on the wedding ceremony, wedding flowers, bridal accessories and bridal wear. But the wedding is often over in a flash while the reception can last long into the night. Make a good first impression as they enter your reception area for the first time with gorgeous reception decorations.

Location, Location, Location

You can host your reception almost anywhere. Some of the most popular places to hold receptions are churches, halls, restaurants, gardens and mansions. Consider the unique pros and cons your reception location presents when reviewing a reception location. What existing decorations can be used? How will the space function? What will need to be rented or purchased?

By choosing a dynamic reception location, such as a botanical garden, art museum or antebellum mansion, you can reduce or eliminate much of the decorating expense. Lush foliage or architectural details can act as your decorations without another penny being spent.   

Focal Points

You can invest less money into wedding decorations by focusing exclusively on focal points. Rather than adding floral swags to every chair, add one large floral arrangement to each table. Create several smaller wedding cakes to be placed at each table, instead of one large one dominating a corner of the room.

Lights, Camera, Action

You can use far fewer wedding decorations if you adequately highlight the ones you have with dramatic lighting. Colored lights or spotlights will direct your guest’s eyes to the areas you have decorated. The undecorated areas will fade into the background. 

Think Thematically

Let your theme dictate your wedding decorations. If you are having a beach wedding, use natural beach items such as shells, sailboats and sandcastles to decorate your space. For a childlike feel, you can even use pool toys as wedding decorations.

If your wedding takes place in the winter, sprinkle snowflakes around the tables and drape thousands of twinkle lights from the ceiling. If your wedding is at Christmastime, you can even display decorated Christmas trees, hanging mistletoe and maybe even gingerbread houses on the tables.

Reuse, Reduce, Recycle

You don’t have to have a “green” wedding to take advantage of the advice to reuse, reduce and recycle.

Purchase wedding decorating items you can reuse again or give as gifts to your guests. This can include centerpiece accents, candle holders, champagne flutes or potted plants. After the wedding reception, reuse or re-gift the items.

To reduce on wedding decorations, you can reduce the need for elaborate decorations by choosing an ornate location. At your wedding reception, you can use larger tables, reducing the number of centerpieces and table linens needed.

Finally, recycle your wedding accessories to be used as reception accessories. For example, have your bridesmaids recycle their handheld bouquets as table decorations.

There are many ways to decorate your reception area without breaking the bank. Your goal should be to create a beautiful area for your guests to celebrate your nuptials with you and your new spouse.

Does anyone have wedding decoration ideas with out using tape, tacks etc.?

I'm the maid of honor for my sister's wedding, and the reception hall she's rented does not allow you to attach anything to the walls. (No tape, tacks, pins, etc.) We are trying to think of some ideas for decorations around the room other than balloons (our brother is allergic to latex and we can't find any mylar or plastic balloons that would make this look more like a wedding than a birthday party.) that's easy on the budget. We have the table settings already figured out, we were just trying to get some ideas on what to put around the room, since we can't hang anything from the walls. All ideas are welcome. Thanks!

How about some big potted plants decorated with white lights? I don't know if Target still sells them but they use to have nice sized potted plants that weren't to expensive. You could also get white branches in vases if the plants are out of the question.

I agree about the balloons, too junior prom.
