What do you think of when you see balloons? A celebration! Standard balloons are cheap and so versatile you can create many kinds of decor with them. Tie them together in strings and combining two or more strings to create an arch for the couple to enter the scene. You'll need an arch frame for this.

Otherwise, combine this and some fabrics to decorate the ceiling, walls or the stage. If you have a little money to spare, consider getting some hellium balloons that floats. Tie a train of ribbon to each of the balloons and simple release it to touch the ceiling. Arrange the balloons along the entrance path of the bride and groom so the ribbons will form a stretch to dramaticise the entrance.

If you are having relatively stark decor for outdoor reception, tie a floating balloon behind each chair with a piece of ribbon. This idea is simple but grand but it may work out to be expensive if you have tons of guests.

Idea #4 : Make A Unique Centerpiece

A centerpiece is something you place on the center of each table, serving as a decor and the natural topic of conversation for your guests. Combining a flower ball and a handful of floating balloons is grand but will cost you quite a bit of money. Flower is the main choice for centerpieces but let's explore other alternatives that is cheap but is just as glamorous.

With just a stalk of your chosen flower on every table, you can turn them into memorable centerpieces. Check with your hotel or restaurant to see if they have some nice transparent vases that's tall and slim. Tall drinking glasses will do too, provided you don't use the same type of glasses for drinking purposes later.

Fill the bottom of the glasses with some cheap faux crystals and then place in your stalk of flower. If the glass is not as high as stem of flower, cut it shorter. Then, fill up the glasss or vases with lightly coloured liquid. You can opt for baby blue, baby pink, or light purple but don't go for unpleasant colors such as yellow, black or strong colors that may look dirty.

You see, the taller or bigger your vases are, the more grand your centerpieces will be. If you have no choice but to use tall glasses, you might want to elevate it a little with something sturdy on the bottom to gain more attention. Another idea is to get your vases from dollar stores. Remember you can always recycle these vases in your house decor so this is worth spending on.

Get candles in different width and lengths and light them around your hall. Lighting has a profound effect in people's moods. It can be romantic or grand or even sad, so know what you are doing before you start.

Some cultures associate white with death, especially if your guests are made up of elders or superstitious relatives. Combine the colors of your candles such as baby pink, purple or cream to indicate romance. If you insist on using white candles only, neutralize its 'death association' by tying a gold ribbon around it.
