Wedding decorations can encompass everything from wall hangings and garlands to placards inscribed with the happy couple's names. Popular wedding decorations include hanging wedding bells made from tissue paper. Ribbons can be used to create bows to decorate pews, chairs and a host of other locations. Twinkle lights and string lights are other simple yet elegant wedding decorations that are readily available.

Flowers can be among the most expensive wedding decorations. That's because they're not only used in the bride's and her attendants' bouquets, but also as wall, altar and table decor. However, there are silk flower arrangements that can serve as supplements to natural centerpieces or can serve as the main floral elements at the ceremony. You can even use some collections to create the look and feel of autumn or spring regardless of what season it is.

Candles can also go a long way in establishing the mood for a ceremony. You can find traditional white wedding candles, as well as angel designs and other religious pieces. Candles can be used to make inexpensive centerpieces when placed in vases or jars that have been filled with sand or colored stones. If you're happy with the interior d'©cor, you can focus on subtle touches to the wedding gown such as crystal dot accents.

Receptions are often the place where couples like to create a fun and light atmosphere. You can find wedding decorations that can add a little humor to the affair. Cake toppers with the bride dragging the groom and giant 'Just Married' magnets for the car are just a few such items.
