Great Cheap Wedding Decoration Ideas

My future mom-in-law and I were talking about how to pull of an elegant wedding without us having to go into debt for the ceremony.

We were coming up with all sorts of ideas such as buying sheets, tapering the ends, and sewing ribbons on the bottoms to match the wedding colors (which ends up being 1/3 of the price of renting!).

I have always wanted to have a candy bar for the guests, so we were talking about making chocolates in molds and dying the white chocolate to match our wedding colors.

I have even gone as far as going to the dollar tree, buying some expensive looking glasses and threading beads that match our wedding colors onto the handles. I happened to see in a wedding magazine where they had these for $80 for the glasses and serving set. I made them for $15.

After Christmas is a great time to look for lights, and decor for your tables. I have only spent $1200 on all the decor for my wedding, and have over $3600 worth of materials. Just think smart!!
