Getting married is a momentous life experience. Unfortunately, it also can be one of the most expensive occasions — but it doesn’t have to be. The Pizza Haven in Rhinelander, WI, has been a leading restaurant and banquet hall since 1969, making it a favorite place for a reception. They share ways engaged couples can stick to their budget with affordable decorations for their wedding venue. 

4 Fun Ideas for Inexpensive Wedding Venue Decorations 

Feathers

An excellent way to control costs is to include feathers in your decorating scheme. This material can be found at most craft stores, comes in an array of colors, and is especially inexpensive when purchased in bulk. Use feathers to supplement bouquets and table centerpieces so you can save money on expensive flowers. Attach them to ribbons or fishing wire and hang them from the ceiling for a fanciful look. 

Fabric

Whether you want a one-of-a-kind backdrop or creative table linens, adding decorative fabric to your wedding venue will pack a visual punch. Choose varying shades of the same color for a consistent theme or opt for a variety of hues to create a rainbow effect. 

Food

Food plays an important role at a wedding reception for not only taste but appearance. The presentation of your hors d’oeuvres, buffet, and wedding cake will add to the ambiance of your event space. You even can incorporate food into your décor by serving dishes that match your reception theme or arranging plates and tables to highlight the banquet hall’s features.

Lighting

It’s essential to choose the proper lighting for your wedding venue, and you can do so with little expense. Try draping white holiday lights from the ceiling to add sparkle, or place candles in hurricane lanterns on tables for a more intimate feel. Colorful uplighting on the walls will create a festive mood.

By following these tips, you can relax and enjoy your big day instead of worrying about expenses.
