Create Your Own Designer Wedding Decor

If you are on a budget, you should be happy to hear that it is possible to make your own designer wedding decor pieces for your wedding tables. All it takes is a little planning and imagination, and your table decorations will rival the best of the designer pieces. Here are some hints to get you started.

First of all, when making your own designer wedding decor pieces it's important to remember that your guests will be sitting around the table, and so you won't want to block the view of the other guests or the activities. Think about the last time you sat at a table adorned with a tall centerpiece—didn't you just want to push it out of the way? A wedding decoration like this will only serve to frustrate your guests and keep them from enjoying your reception.

Next, if you want the look of tall designer wedding centerpieces (but take heed of the above advice), you can give your arrangements the look and feel of height by placing a mirror underneath them. The best wedding designers use this trick over and over again for one reason—it works.

You'll need to be very choosy about the flowers you choose for your designer wedding table centerpiece decorations. Some flowers smell fragrant and wonderful, while others only look beautiful, but if you get too close—watch out!

Be sure to thoroughly investigate the flowers you are considering for your wedding decor, because if you choose the wrong ones, your guests will have to sit all night with an unpleasant scent. What's more, your delicious catered food simply won't taste the same with the aroma of not-so-pleasant flowers floating around.

If you truly want to decorate your wedding party like the wedding designers do, try adding some glitter or confetti to your table centerpieces. This can be an inexpensive trick that will make your wedding decoration look like it cost a million dollars.

Finally, don't discount the use of small, fragrant flowers bunched together in a small vase, or painted can for more casual weddings. There is just something about flowers—no matter how understated hey are—that adds that designer flair to any wedding decoration.

So, what are you waiting for? As you can see, it is possible to create designer wedding decorations on your own. Take our ideas and use them for your wedding reception, or simply use them as the basis for a fabulous creation of your own! But whatever you do, use your imagination, and don't forget to let your personality shine through with whatever designer wedding decor you decide on.
