Ceremony Decorations
Whether you're getting married in a church or in your backyard, you want the setting to be beautiful. To set the mood, pick up some battery-operated LED candles and silky ribbon at the dollar store to make centerpieces.

Add a few smaller bouquets of affordable flowers to vases placed in the area where you plan to stand during the service. This adds touches of color to the wedding photos. These bouquets can also double as table decor.
Reception Decorations
When you hold a reception at a separate location from the wedding ceremony, it means setting up a second batch of decorations or transporting everything quickly. If you're crafty, DIY wedding decorations are a great way to add your personal touch to the venue. Break out the craft supplies and make heart-shaped posters with photos of you and your significant other. Create centerpieces in your wedding colors, and beautify the dance floor and food tables with streamers, balloons and flowers.
Affordable Flowers
Wedding flowers can be a big expense, but there are ways to find affordable flowers to carry and to adorn the wedding venues. Consider making your own bouquet as a DIY wedding project or have a loved one who's talented at arranging flowers help you. Be sure to get lots of pictures to commemorate the event and help you enjoy the memories for years to come.
Add silk flowers to your arrangements, or try using all silk flowers to save money. Plus, the bouquets become treasured keepsakes from your big day. You can also opt for bouquets made from greenery instead of large flowers.
What Not to Do to Save Money
