The best things in life are free

Somebody once told me that 'the best things in life are free' and do you know what? They are!
This is especially true when helping reduce the cost of your wedding.

Here are a couple of money saving ideas I have had for my wedding decorations that have cost me next to nothing!

Grab yourself a jam jar.


Stick a tea light candle in it of a Christmas variety and a gold ribbon around the neck.


Adorn with Holly from forest. Then do the same again with other different sized jars to place around your venue to give that rustic festive/candlelit glow.
I actually feel this needs a more striking gold than the one chosen in my picture so I will probably change this in due time.


Go to forest and gather twigs of varying sizes but that flay out nicely when bunched together. Tie them together in bunches. The pink ones in my picture were recycled from a bunch of flowers that were bought for me.


Spray paint them in your chosen colour with oasis spray (in this case burgundy).
Then place them in flower pots with either stones, sand or soil to hold them in place. Then hang small baubles or glittery weather cones from them and place them around your venue to add a winter feature at your venue.

Free/extremely cheap ways to decorate your Christmas venue but also fun to collect and gather the materials needed! It also proved effective at involving the groom in the process as he came with me to the forest and spray painted the branches :)
