Here are some inexpensive ideas for wedding decorations that you may want to consider:

If bouquets are a bit too expensive for your wedding decorations ideas, limit wedding flowers to just a few carefully placed simple wedding centerpieces. Maybe just small wedding flower bouquets on the pews and a grand wedding reception flower centerpiece at the buffet or top table.

Choose beautiful wedding flowers for the bouquet, corsages, and boutonnieres for the wedding party.

Scatter flower petals and pretty ribbon on tables and surfaces instead of complete bouquet centerpieces for weddings.

Here is another idea for DIY wedding flowers decorations. Use small, inexpensive pots grouped together or as individual simple wedding centerpieces lined up on tables for your wedding. In each pot, plant a single flower or plant. Decorate the pots to match your wedding by using paint, ribbon, or foil. Add small votive candles to the centerpieces for a more romantic atmosphere.

Use larger pots of wedding flowers for the top table, in the wedding aisles, and other places where a bit of extra oomph is needed. These simple wedding centerpieces look nice and surprisingly sophisticated.

Or you can replace some of the flower centerpieces for weddings with arrangements of balloons. Balloons are very cheap wedding decorations, and they can really add a festive appeal to the wedding decorations or reception area.

If there are areas of your wedding ceremony or reception that aren't appealing, large balloon wedding decorations or entire balloon arches or other balloon architecture can effectively camouflage the unsightly areas.

Table runners are fashionable ideas for wedding decorations. Choose runners that match the wedding theme to add a put together look for your wedding decorations. If you can't afford or don't want to decorate all of the tables, just choose some special surfaces, such as the reception table or the cake table for these cheap wedding decorations.

Here is a great idea for wedding centerpieces- candles! They make elegant and simple wedding centerpieces, especially for evening weddings.

Use pretty glass bowls filled with water. Colored water using food coloring to match the wedding theme is really charming.

In each bowl, light a few floating candles. Place each of these bowls on top of mirrors.

Put these lighted wedding centerpieces all around. The effect from the combination of the candlelight, reflection from the mirror, and the glass bowls make impressive wedding centerpieces.

Candles decorated with baby's breath or ribbon and placed in various areas also adds to the effect.

Twinkle lights can add to the effect of the candlelight decorations, or they can be used alone for cheap wedding decorations ideas.

Some great places to add twinkle lights for wedding decorations are reception tables, the bridal table, cake table, et cetera.

Another inexpensive idea for wedding decorations is confetti. Not the confetti that you are probably thinking about used for most occasions. Today's confetti comes in many styles, themes, colors, and materials.

There are so many choices that it's easy to find confetti that will somehow coordinate with your wedding theme- be it a shape or color. Using confetti is a nice way to pull together all the elements of your wedding themed decorations together.

Scatter confetti sprinkles on tables, around wedding centerpieces, and focal points throughout the wedding and reception area to add a fun, lighthearted ambience to your wedding decorations.
