Truly
creative wedding decor often goes well beyond ordinary flowers or
balloons. For an impressively distinctive do-it-yourself wedding,
look for items to decorate your reception in non-typical
places - this means looking well beyond the traditional wedding
supply stores, and using a little imagination.
This
is how the best wedding consultants in the business approach wedding
decor - and it's precisely how they manage to achieve those
wonderfully individualized, one-of-a-kind looks for every wedding
they work on. And you
can do the same.
An
added bonus - by thinking creatively and shopping for your wedding
in 'unlikely' places you're likely to save money along the way. This
is because you'll avoid that strange little phenomenom which seems to
dictate that anything sold with the implicit purpose of a wedding
automatically comes with a dramatically inflated price tag. Ever
notice that...?
Watch
for clearance sales of seasonal merchandise which can be
incorporated into your wedding decor too. The post-Christmas season
is an excellent time to pick up bargains on decor for upcoming fall,
winter, or christmas weddings. Right now, for example, many stores
are clearing out themed merchandise at bargain-basement prices. This
makes for a wonderful opportunity to pick up items which will lend
themselves to exquisite wedding decor. |
The
candy cane pillar candles shown at the left were a perfect example
of the types of items that can be picked up after christmas for
weddings taking place next
Christmas. The months ahead will fly by quickly (ask any one who's
ever been a bride!) so its never too soon to start planning. Product
was from Illuminations
,
but may no longer be available. Browse their web site for equally
exquisite decor ideas. |

Keep
in mind that these types of seasonal items are generally only
available during the holiday season, so if
you are planning holiday season wedding, this is the time to do your
buying. You won't find such themed items in July or August, as your
wedding draws nearer! |

A
single votive candle burning behind the glass panes of these
lanterns gives off a soft, dreamy light, creating a setting of
ambiance when used as centerpiences at a wedding reception. Use one
per table, or combine in groups.
For
a truly unique centerpiece idea, create enchanted worlds of light as
the softness of pastels and the glimmer of metal come together in
candle sleeves and a runner of sheer metallic fabric. The little bags
dress up votives, while the sleek glass cylinders filled with water
hold floating candles. The runner makes a stunning backdrop for any
celebratory centerpiece. Fill them with water and floating candles,
then veil them with the gossamer colors of our Iridescent Sleeves.
An
Outdoor Wedding?
Here's
a fabulously unique decorating idea! Float these wax boat lanterns
in a pool, pond or fountain. Can also be used to line walkways or
placed on tables as centerpieces.
Floating
pastel colored candles in a pretty frosted bowl, complemented by
nearby pillar candles contribute to a romantic reception mood.
Elegance
in Glass... Planning a rehearsal dinner or special gathering? This
collection is the perfect decorating solution for any celebration. It
combines Hurricane Lamps with Pillar Candles, Bubble-Stem
Candlesticks with Taper Candles, Glass Stem Sphere Holders and
Martini Sphere Holders with Sphere Candles, a Small Martini Bowl one
Floating Candle, and Large Martini Bowls, each containing three
2" Floating Candles. Al candles are ivory in color.
Scatter
a parade of opaque glass votive holders about a reception room or a
protected porch or patio at an outdoor wedding, and create a world of
dazzling candlelight.
Classic,
elegant centerpieces are easily created by grouping together pillar
candles in varying heights. When chosing candles, quality counts.
Better quality candles, like these from Illuminations, will burn
longer and brighter.
Sometimes
the simplest creations are the most dramatic. This collection of
Pillars candles has a breathtaking effect! This collection includes
the following sizes: 3"x12", 4"x16",
3"x3", 3"x6", 3"x9" - all clustered
upon an elegant large square Bronzed Plate.
