Inspiration and Ideas For
Cheap Table Decorations

You can really go to town on your wedding table decorations. But hold on; think about it. You’ve already got loads of things on your tables – favours, place cards, napkins, flowers and so on. So will your decorations stand out from that clutter?

Probably not. So don’t spend too much on lots of table decorations. Go for one or two things that will really add to the look of your tables. Here’s some ideas:

The glittery stuff

There’s loads of sparkly stuff that you can add to your tables. Coloured cut-outs and metallic confetti come in all shapes and sizes.

Hearts, stars, bells and words like ‘Just Married’ or ‘Congratulations’ could be all welcome addition to your table.

I had some mini-hearts on my tables. I didn’t want to clutter the tables too much, so I only used a light sprinkling. I found 3 standard packets was plenty for 10 tables.

Another great table confetti option is to get some personalised table confetti made with you and your groom's picture on the confetti, Printfetti do this really well.

The fun stuff

Party poppers

My brother’s wedding had lots of streamers, tiger balloons, party poppers and fun stuff. They used these fun items to set the tone of their wedding – it was a really good party.

All the little kids and big kids loved the toys and it made a right racket, just before the food was served.

More natural stuff

If you’re having a romantic or country theme, why not use some fresh petals from the garden.

Rose petals look particularly stunning and they’re easily available throughout the year. Perhaps a relative will give you a few from the garden?

Light up your tables

Petals

Finally, a very pretty way to decorate your tables is to use small candles. Tealights or small scented candles will add a splash of colour and twinkling of light to your tables. You could even tie colour-coordinated ribbon around them to match your colour theme.
