Artificial Flowers Decorations
Artificial flowers can be applied for various cheap wedding decorations diy. In some cases, they can become a more budget-friendly alternative to fresh flowers. Moreover, they can be used for other projects after the nuptials.

If you want to add more rustic mood to the composition, place the flowers into the vases with burlap décor. The other cool idea is to locate them in vintage wood boxes. Flowers in wood boxes look very impressing and are ideal for outdoor weddings.
Another our favorite idea is a flower wall backdrop. You must have seen such adornments on Pinterest as many people really like them. Actually, you can buy a ready decoration. However, if your budget is restricted, you can save pretty much money by doing everything yourself. Moreover, by making that decoration yourself, you will make it suit all your requirements, including the proper size, flowers type and colors.
Thus, for a basis, you need to take a PVC pipe stand and drape it with fabric. The other idea is to use sheets of plywood. After the basis is ready, attach the flowers to it using hot glue.

We recommend using artificial flower vines for this project as it’s easier to work with them than with real flowers. If the ceiling of your restaurant or tent features some metal or wood constructions, you can attach the flowers to them. In other cases, the vines can be attached to chandeliers.
Be ready that in order to create a really great decoration, you will need hundreds of vines. However, you can make some accents with the smaller amount. Artificial flower vines are pretty lightweight and so, you can attach them to the ceiling with the help of a tread or thin rope. Also, you can employ thin metal wires.

Ribbons are universal decorations for a wedding of any style no matter what venue and what season you are getting married at.

Silk, satin and organza ribbons are the most widespread ones. The first two types have a sleek classic texture while organza ribbons are very light and semi-transparent.
Moreover, ribbons can serve as a separate adornment. Thus, you can use them for chair décor by simply tying several pieces to a chair or by making bows. If you want the ribbons to hang beautifully or be used for elegant bows, use satin ribbons. And if you want to have big volume bows, organza ribbons are the best choice. Also, a cute wedding arch can be made of hanging satin ribbons. For these projects, you can use ribbons of one or two colors as well as multi-colored ones. The latter variant looks especially cool at outdoor summer ceremonies.
So, you see that you can make many cool DIY wedding decorations on a budget. Even a single ribbon can be employed for various projects to tell nothing about artificial flowers and burlap.
