What in the Wedding?! Decor Edition – Let’s talk about it

Weddings are supposed to be about the celebration of love between two people but with the rise of social media and how it influences us to want a OTT (over the top) wedding – (hello, Sofia Richie! đź‘‹) it can be a dangerous game of wanting to have a wedding like the influencers/celebrities of our time versus what is actually possible with our budget. 

I’mma be real with you and say; no one cares about your wedding more than you. The only one who cares is you and your partner. Now that we have that out of the way…

I’m going to share some inspo for your own wedding decor that doesn’t break the bank – I do recommend that you rent out several different things such as plates, cups, and large scale decor items like wedding party tables. While social media can often remind us of comparisons to other weddings, there is also an upside to seeing what other people can do items from Dollarama or Dollar Tree; I love seeing DIY wedding decor from TikTok. Here is some inspo for your wedding decor!

I love when people get creative with florals. I am a big flower girl – I want flowers all over the place but I also know that flowers can cost a pretty penny. If love flowers and want florals all over the place, I recommend grabbing this arch from Amazon and florals from the Dollar Tree.

Balloons?! I know, we all think that balloons might not be the place to have at your wedding but what if you saw this? I personally love it! I think it’s beautiful and really can add to your decor – and it’s not all bright colours. You can add matte and pearl finishes to choose from. With this simple but beautiful display, you can jazz up your wedding with a balloon arch in your wedding colours. Check out Ariana over at BoomBalloon for all your balloon needs!

Last but not least, add draping. Draping is wonderful; I am a huge fan and if you were to spend any money on decor, I suggest draping. You can add twinkle lights to make the lighting softer and more romantic. To DIY yours, check out this TikTok to see how it can be done ➡️- https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMSVKGxkL/

The stress of wedding planning is real, but so is the joy of creating a memorable experience with the people you love most. So take a deep breath, stay focused on the meaningful moments, and remember that your love story is the most important thing you’ll celebrate—everything else is just the cherry on top.
