<strong>Decoration</strong> <strong>Ideas</strong>


Your wedding décor can transform an ordinary venue into a beautiful and magical space for one<br />

night, so that you can celebrate your very special event in style. It is not necessary to spend a lot of<br />

money on décor for your wedding either, especially since this event will probably be very expensive<br />

already. In order to cut down on your expenses, there are simple <strong>DIY</strong> decorations that you can make<br />

that will look great yet will not cost you a lot.<br />

Here are some fun and creative <strong>DIY</strong> wedding decoration ideas:<br />

<strong>Wedding</strong> Balloon Arches<br />

This simple design element can make the space look special, especially if you use balloon arches to<br />

frame where you and your spouse will be standing while you are getting married. Usually a frame is<br />

used to build a balloon arch, which simply involves twisting the balloons around the frame.<br />

However, it is not always necessary to have a frame.<br />

You can create the arch by using foil or latex helium balloons and tying them to a long length of<br />

string or fishing wire. Then, use a weight to weigh down both ends of the wire. The balloons will<br />

naturally create an arch because of the helium. You can change the shape of the arch by moving the<br />

balloons closer together or further apart.<br />

Latex balloons when correctly helium-filled have an approximate float time of 10-12 hours, so make<br />

sure that you build the arch right before the <strong>Wedding</strong> for the arch top look its best! Find a great<br />

selection of quality latex balloons here.<br />

Foil balloons, when correctly helium-filled average a float time of 5-7 days making an earlier set-up<br />

easier. Find a wide range of quality Foil Balloons a great prices here.


Hanging Blossom Centrepiece<br />

Looking for an idea for a beautiful wedding centrepiece that will create a magical atmosphere?<br />

Instead of putting flowers in a vase on the table, why not try hanging them from ribbon and<br />

suspending them from the ceiling? You can also add candle holders to create a special effect with<br />

various levels of soft light. For a beautiful vintage look, you can consider using dried flowers<br />

suspended from the ceiling.


Floating Candle Table <strong>Decoration</strong>s<br />

Here’s another attractive idea for decorating the tables at your wedding – floating candle bowls.<br />

They are inexpensive, as all you will need to buy are glass containers and tea candles. Fill the<br />

containers up with water and add some flower petals, pretty leaves and perhaps even some glitter.<br />

Then, use the small tea light candles to float on top of the water. You could even consider adding<br />

some food colouring to the water to give it a colourful tinge.<br />

Calligraphy Rock Place Holders<br />

This project starts with a trip to the forest or the beach, where you can look for beautiful rocks that<br />

are all smooth and around the same size and shape. However, don’t worry about having them all<br />

exactly the same, this crafty natural wedding décor idea is all about the imperfect beauty of nature.<br />

The next step is to clean the rocks thoroughly, scrubbing them with an old toothbrush to get the dirt<br />

out of the crevices. Then, use acrylic craft paint to decorate them and to paint the names of your<br />

guests on them. You can use stencils to get the perfect lettering, or just paint freehand if you have a<br />

steady hand and good calligraphy skills. Allow the paint to dry and then give it a coat of clear acrylic<br />

medium to seal it. Place the rocks on the table to mark the place settings.<br />

Balloon Drop<br />

One way to make a special moment even more memorable is to plan a balloon drop. When you and<br />

your spouse have your first kiss at the altar, or when your first dance happens, you can have net<br />

above you release dozens of brightly coloured foil or latex balloons.


It’s not as hard as you might think to create a balloon drop. You can find the netting at a landscape<br />

supply store, as it is often used for fish ponds. Spread the net out onto the floor and fill it up with<br />

inflated balloons. Use a weaving stitch along the short edge to make the bottom of the pocket and<br />

then sew down the length of the netting as you fill it with the balloons. Don’t tie off the farthest end<br />

of the line, as it must be able to pull completely free. Then, flip the net and attach the unsewn side<br />

to the ceiling, with the stitched side hanging down. When it is time, have someone pull the cord to<br />

release the balloons and have them fall down.<br />

Balloons Galore has a wide range of balloons, including personalised balloons that will make your big<br />

day extra special.
