Gorgeous decorations are an integral part of any wedding. Even the most jaw-droppingly beautiful venues need some sort of personal touch! But let’s face it: stunning and unique decorations can be costly. Elaborate centrepiece arrangements and extravagant table linens can take up a huge part of your precious wedding budget. The solution? Paper wedding decorations! As DIY weddings increase in popularity, brides are embracing paper versions of more expensive, traditional decorations.

The trick to incorporating paper decorations into your big day is to pair them with more formal and ornate details. Brown paper table clothes and paper flower centrepieces look stunning when paired with elegant china dinnerware and pretty linen napkins. Whimsical paper flowers made of vintage sheet music look stunning in faux crystal vases or rustic metal pails. DIY origami cranes add a whimsical but elegant touch when hung from a ceiling next to a glamorous chandelier, and wedding favours wrapped in pretty patterned paper can add a creative touch to a classic tablescape.
