There's no denying it - wedding season is about to be in full swing. Whether you'll be walking down the aisle or are the mother of the bride, it's time to get down to business when it comes to wedding décor.
Between picking the menu and a million other little things, the perfect decorations are probably the last thing on your mind. But with these tips, you'll be able to design the wedding you've always dreamed of that fits your style and budget.
Add a Romantic Glow
Outdoors or in, the right lighting is key to setting the mood for your big day. Luckily, this big impact décor won't make a big dent in your budget. There are a lot of affordable lighting options out there that will speak to your style. For a small, evening wedding, try a candle arrangement that will make your reception an intimate, romantic affair. Pick coordinating or matching candles with varying heights.
Are you having an outdoor reception where your guests plan to dance the night away? Try string lights. Whether you stick with traditional white or try a quirky bulb, this lighting will add a bright, celebratory touch to your wedding.

Have Fun With Floral
Boring bouquets? Standard centerpieces? Not at your wedding! Get creative with your floral to add dimension and layers of color to your centerpieces and more.
Reach new heights by re-thinking where to place your flowers. Floral centerpieces are a classic, but you can vary their size for a fresh twist. Try a trio of arrangements - one tall, one short and one somewhere in between.
