Cheap Wedding Table Decoration Ideas

Brilliant, you are looking for cheap wedding table decoration ideas, you must be near the end of your planning stage!?! All these extras can soon add up and blow your budget, so help is here!

Think about the time of your wedding reception, if it is in the evening then there is nothing better than candles, they add a romantic glow to the room - and the guests, everyone looks gorgeous in candle light. Ask if your venue has candleabras that you can borrow free of charge and buy candles to match your color scheme. Ivy round the base and confetti or rose petals on the tables and you are done.

Lanterns are another great way to have candle light, and also if your venue doesn't allow candles you can now buy battery run tea lights - how bizarre! They even flicker! The best bit is that when they are in your lantern or tea light holder you would be hard pushed to know the difference. They are more expensive than normal tea lights but they last longer and are safer.

If you already have your theme and colors for your wedding and you are searching for specific items it is worth delving into the wedding forums and auction sites to look for brides selling off extras or even the ones they have used. Just think they will have only been used once and you could get a real bargain.

Another great free, well almost free, cheap wedding table decoration is to look to nature - or to be more precise look to family and friends gardens - ivy and evergreen branches can help bulk out a table decoration.

A trick that I love to use and is so easy is to get some children's pva glue - the stuff that is white and dries clear and paint it onto branches, leaves and even fruit, just on the edges is best and then dip into glitter. Leave to dry and you have a sparkly, frosty table decoration. The effect is brilliant.

Seasonal variations could be Spring with daffodils and tulips in a round glass bowl vase (think goldfish bowl) - put the whole flower into the bowl and wrap it around (tulips droop very easily) - use color glass beads at the bottom to bring in your color scheme.

Summer flowers floating in a glass bowl with floating candles.

Autumn leaves, cones, ivy and candles.

Winter, bare branches dipped in glitter with silver sparkling decorations (Christmas baubles) to create a magical winter wonderland.
