Who doesn't like an upgrade? When resources are low and costs are high at weddings, it pays to be a bit innovative and opt for the little things that uplift the event. We are talking about adding or changing a little something around to create an entire new look together - for the better. Without going OTT with the costs. Awesome for less! So take a look at the decor upgrades you can try if you want to try something different at your wedding - simple stuff!

Embroidery Hoops instead of Bird Cages

This Parisian trend is completely taking over our timelines these days. Embroidery hoops are totally new, very economical and you can use fun fabrics to lace to sequin embroidery to jazz it up.

Dried Flowers instead of Real Ones

Dried lavender, potpourri, dried roses make for a great eco-friendly look. Just to get a super sweet elegant look these days, we think these small tiny additions might just be cheap and best!

Glass Globules instead of Glass Bottles

While hanging glass bottles is cute, these glass globules are fast taking over weddings these days. They are available in any decor store by the dozen and you can fill them anything you like - flower petals, beads, pearls....

Thread balls instead of Paper Lanterns

The boring paper lanterns just got a sweet makeover - wrap them in threads or cover them up with hakoba and lace to give it a French feel.

Bulbs Instead of Fairy Lights

Old-fashioned bulbs will always be more enchanting than anything else. But it is about presenting them well and making them stand out. Opt for bulbs with a rich filament to boost the look!

Flower Curtains Instead of OTT Backdrops

You know how much we love hangings at WMG, so this is of course, a big but simple upgrade. Choose to go with small flowers, add roses in ombre hues to mix it up and give it a grand look.

Crates Instead of Pots

Potted planters are so yawn-worthy nowadays. Instead bulky crates are being up cycled and used to create a luxe decor feel. Stack them up or plant herbs in them - they'll definitely work.

Fruits Instead of Flowers

Bright-coloured fruits are adding so much drama to weddings these days. Take a cue from this wedding we covered where no flowers were used and you'll know how cool this really looks.

Mirrors Instead of Frames

Love Dope Studios

 

Don't just go for empty frames, add a few mirrors to them to give it a cool look. You can then add a few empty frames next to it but this is a trend that's totally going to make wedding look luxe in minutes!

Wheel Barrows Instead of Wooden Carts

Wooden carts have been a staple at our weddings, but these days, wheel barrows have taken over the decor. Filled with drinks and flowers and knick-knacks for the guests - these are so so cute!
