Cheap Wedding Accessories & Decor Items

Looking for some cheap wedding accessories (like guest books, pens, flower petals, favor boxes, cake toppers, picture frames, card boxes) or misc. ceremony and reception decor items (such as pearl strands, tulle fabric, silk flowers, decorative sand, glass vases, ribbon, candles)??

A great place to START looking is at fabric or craft stores. They almost always have a wedding section AND they almost always have some sort of mega sale or special coupon to take advantage of. You can get some serious deals when you shop fabric and craft store sales and coupons, not to mention they have loads of ideas right there to help you get creative.

Take a look at here and see what kind of deal you can find!

Happy hunting... :-)

Wondering how to set up this wedding reception decor feature?

Here goes: (see one of our previous posts for the complete supplies list)

Step 1. Get your 8" round table and place each leg on top of your 4, very sturdy wooden boxes/cement blocks (or similar). Don't worry - no one will see these!!

Step 2. Place a table cloth on your round table, then place your sturdy boxes on top - right in the middle of the round table.

Step 3. Put another table cloth over the boxes. It will be too big, but strategically drape it and make the extra fabric mound up here and there.

Step 4. Use tulle fabric here and there to cascade down off the top boxes. Let it mound up here and there too.

Step 5. Do the same with your Christmas light strands. Make sure you have a power strip underneath the table, or hidden underneath a cloth.

Step 6. Place sand, and then candles in your glass candle holders/containers. Next, place them on top of the top boxes, and also on the main round table randomly. Use at least one large one on the very top, but 3 would be better. Mix up the sizes next to each other in other areas.

Step 7. Get out your 4, 6' or 8' rectangular tables and create a large square around what you've made so far. Be sure to get the tables as close as possible to each other and to the round table.

Step 8. Put table cloths on the rectangular tables, and pull some of the tulle from the middle onto them in a few places so it all looks connected.

Step 9. Place glass rocks, tea lights and some smaller votive holders, etc. on the rectangular tables. Light all the candles just before guests arrive. Keep the candle flames away from fabric!

Step 10. Bring on the food!

Step 11. Enjoy and take a picture!

For added impact, bring some tulle down from the ceiling if possible, or hang a chandelier right above this feature. If you have spare flowers, place them randomly on the tables as well.

Have fun!

Dollar Store Wedding Decor

TGIF Readers!

Have you checked out the dollar stores lately? I did last week, and found several items that I can use for an upcoming wedding I'm assisting with.

One, very cheap wedding table decor idea (that we're using for this particular wedding) uses shallow glass bowls or shaped glass vases (must be shallow), fresh flowers to match the wedding floral theme (lilies), clear glass rocks or marbles, tea lights, and votive candles. In keeping with a simple, elegant and sparkly environment we are trying to create, our reception table set-up will be a snap! We'll fill the shallow bowls/vases partially with water. Next, we will insert ONE lily that will drape over the side. Surrounding the vase, several votives and tea lights will be lit. Adding even more sparkle, will be the clear glass rocks spread out randomly around the vase and candles.

Lovely, cheap and simple wedding reception table decor! Browse the dollar store in your area and see what you can find to save wedding budget money. For more brilliant ideas... please visit our main table decor article HERE!
