Super Ideas For Your Wedding Decorations

Using the internet will uncover a variety of ideas for you to consider, particularly if there is a forum where brides to be can swap ideas and experiences. A good example of this is YouAndYourWedding.co.uk. Two other great places for generating ideas are wedding magazines and wedding fairs.

To get you started, here are 6 great ideas for decorations that you may want to incorporate into your wedding.

1. Confetti - Confetti has evolved from scattered leaves and flower petals, which were originally used in pagan ceremonies, to today where there is many options, such as metallic hearts or stars, tissue paper hearts or dried rose petals. The theme for your wedding can be set immediately if you include some of your chosen confetti inside your guests' wedding invitations when you send them out.
2. Wedding Favours - The tradition of giving favours to guests at weddings dates back thousands of years when the guests received five sugared almonds which signified health, wealth, happiness, long life and fertility. Sweets or chocolates are more likely to be used today than sugared almonds, and these are generally wrapped in cellophane and tied with a ribbon. Favours aren't limited to foodstuffs though, and they can come in a wide variety of themes. For example, if the bride and groom are golf nuts they may want to present their guests with a golf themed favour. A great site for favours is MyWeddingFavors.com.
3. Flowers - These have always been a firm favourite for decorating weddings. Not only can they be used for table centre pieces they are also needed for buttonholes, corsages, pew ends, buffet table decoration and top table arrangements. Although flowers have been a tradition for a long time there is a new challenger.
