There are numerous wedding decoration types that can be used depending on your wedding theme. Wedding decorating basics include invitations, balloons, and flowers. However, if you are wedding planning on a budget, there are many other things you can do to make your wedding a memorable and unique event for all of those in attendance.

As we said a budget means different things to different people. But one thing that you are definitely striving for is uniqueness. Are you employing the services of a wedding planner? If you are, then make sure the person has imagination. Why? The reason is simple, you do not want them to shop at regular wedding supply shops. The reasons are twofold. One is cost. The other is uniqueness.

Since these unlikely stores save you a lot of money, you will have extra to put towards other parts of your wedding, or even your honeymoon. Wedding favors and decorations stores inflate the price simply because it is for a specific occasion.

How about shopping for seasonal discounts or even items in sales. I know you feel guilty if you save money like this. Sorry- rubbish! Who will know that the glitter and tinsel came from a Christmas store selling cheap outside of their season.

Lovely centerpieces can be created using candles. If you are concerned about fire hazard, there are battery operated candles you can buy that are equally beautiful. Candlelight is the most flattering of all light and it will create a great atmosphere for your reception. You can use just one candle per table or you can group several of them together in an arrangement. You can use soft colors for the candle holders or metallic ones to create very beautiful centerpieces.

If an outdoor wedding is what you fancy, try using wax boat lanterns and floating them in a pool or a pond or fountain nearby. They can also be used to line walkways as they are very versatile. Keep a large bowl of water and float candles in them for a truly unique centerpiece.

Could you make some of the decorations yourself? Maybe you know of people that do this for a living. They would be only to happy to make your wedding decor items. A lot cheaper than buying from stores.

If you are careful and use your imagination it will be the unique wedding that you have dreamed of. Planning a wedding can be easy with some imagination and thought.
