You don’t have to spend $10,000 or $15,000 on wedding decor for the experience to be memorable and enjoyable. Truth be told, you can spend less than half that and still have a great wedding ceremony and reception. How is that possible, you ask? It’s simple, through unique wedding decorations & ideas.

Cheap Wedding Decorations That’ll Spruce Up Your Wedding…

  • Table Cloths: Yes, table cloths can be a decoration, but only as long as you use the right type. A simple white table cloth can’t really be called a decoration. On the other hand, a table cloth that matches the color of your wedding — pink and black, pink and blue, white and pink, etc. — can be easily considered as a decoration!
  • Napkins: Another one of those unique wedding decorations ideas you probably didn’t think of. Just like the table cloth, a plain white napkin can hardly be considered decor. However, throw in some colored napkins that match the theme of your wedding and you’ve got yourself another cheap yet beautiful decoration for the wedding.

  • Photos: Gather some of your “before wedding” photos and buy simple picture frames for them. Place the framed photos in small groups of 2 to 3 strategically around the reception area. These pictures will convey the joy & happiness the two of you have shared and why you’re such a perfect match. If the color of the frames can match your wedding theme, that would be even better!
  • Ribbons & Balloons: As far as cheap wedding decorations & ideas go, this has got to be the best there is. Simply buy theme-colored ribbons & balloons in bulk and start decorating the reception hall with them. Use the balloons sparingly in groups of about 2-3, and then tie the colored ribbons to pretty much anything and everything you want.

If you can’t save some money for the budget with these unique, yet cheap wedding decorations ideas, well, then you’re in need of a lot more help then you let on.

Buying the Best Wedding Gown For Your Body Shape

By Jaquie Gennera, executive summarized by Andromeda.

Every bride needs to have the perfect wedding dress. You may be overwhelmed by the sheer number of fabrics, cuts, and styles of dresses available when you first go into a bridal boutique. You need not stress; shopping for your ideal dress doesn’t have to be a bad experience. Use these steps and you could select the perfect wedding dress for your body.

Be honest in your measurement and start with it. Never buy a dress that is any smaller than what your measurements are right now. It is a bad idea to buy a dress that is too tight with the thought that you can lose the weight. Accept your body the way it is now and give accurate and recent measurements to the boutique where you buy dresses.

Requests help. Ask your girlfriends and family members for their opinions. Or ask for help from an impartial source. Keep in mind that your friends may not serve as the best judges of what actually looks good on your body. Sometimes it is helpful to ask the opinions of others when trying to find your style, make sure that you allow the influence of at least 3 salespeople to help guide you. If you have secured a wedding planner, they most likely will offer an impartial opinion too.

Check out a lot of different types of styles. Do not start with a pre supposition and image of a perfect dress. You could end up disappointing yourself by making limits when you begin. Keep options open for styles you may have not worn in the past. Wear them to check how they fit you.

Disguise your unwanted flaws. There are easy ways your outfit can hide rather not so flattering features. When women choose an A-line skirt, whether she is an apple or pear shape, she will appear thinner as the shape of the skirt is flared at the bottom and pulled in at the waist. The elegant and graceful lines of Empire waist garments flatter a pear-shaped figure.

Enjoy your natural curves! If you’re going for a curvaceous image on your big day, look at wedding dresses in an hourglass shape that highlight your décolletage and feature a full skirt. A neat and well-cut inner garment should enhance your body contours the way you want.

Look at what is in your closet. You may want to consider getting a better idea of what suits you from your personal wardrobe if choosing a wedding dress is too overwhelming. You should take inventory of the items you currently have in your closet. You should remove from the closet the clothes that you feel confident wearing. What do these pieces tell you? How about a pencil skirt for those times when you want to show that you took the extra time to get prepared, or does the low cut of the cashmere sweater you like so much make you fell sexy every time you wear it? Pick up on those key elements when shopping for your dress. You may discover that your mind knows what will give your shape the desired effect and all you have to do is trust in yourself.

You must be sure to choose the correct dress for your wedding. The most anticipated day of your life requires a dress that you love and you can find it by not panicking and using these methods.
