Under $1,000: Ceremony Decorations


As a planner, I am often faced with budget challenges for every event, especially for weddings. One of the most recent challenges was coming up with an over the top ceremony look for under $1000. This has prompted me to begin thinking about what ideas I could come up with for under $1000. We are adding this segment to our blog. We will come up with a DIY project that you can do that will make your wedding look wonderfully dreamy for a great price!

The look described below is a romantic look for a wedding that is inside and also in the winter or evening. The wow effect is created with massive amounts of candle light. You don’t have to go crazy with the candles, Dollar store candles burn just the same! A nice glass to put the candles in and a ribbon or colored water to catch the lights of the candles and the setting sun really give a romantic and welcoming sense of ambiance to any ceremony space. The best part is that all the candles can be re-purposed to be used during cocktail hour or the reception as room lighting or even center pieces. Use your imagination and get creative!

To create a beautiful ceremony look for under $1000 you will need.
  • Fresh rose petals  2 pack per side of the aisle = 4 packages of petals ($170 x2)$340
  • Aisle Runner from the original runner company = $300
  • Ribbon $40
  • 75 stems of fresh roses in bulk at $100
  • Vases $96 (for 96 vases) 58 tall 48 short
  • Pillar candles (4 for $1) 20
  • Votive in bulk for (12 for $1) 10
{Total $906}
