Organizing a wedding is a lot of hassle. I want everything to be perfect. Here every detail plays a role. Therefore, it is worth considering not only about wedding attire and banquet, but also about those decorations that will create a festive atmosphere.
What accessories are needed for a wedding?
Perhaps you still can’t imagine how many accessories and decorations are needed to organize a wedding. You will say that you used to do without them before. Yes, but today many couples make theme weddings.
Even color can become the main leitmotif of the whole celebration. At the same time, it is important that every detail corresponds to a given trend.
Therefore, we will figure out what accessories and decorations are needed for a wedding. In order not to forget anything, write down all the stages of the wedding and determine what is necessary for each of them. Preparation for the wedding includes the presence of guests who will need to give out beautiful invitations.
Redemption of the bride:
- tuple design;
- a bouquet for the bride and future mother-in-law;
- registration of the apartment of the bride, where the ransom will be made.
The ceremony in the registry office:
- cushion for rings;
- folder for a marriage certificate;
- glasses for breaking.
Banquet:
- hall design;
- festive table;
- arch;
- zone for a photo shoot;
- glasses for the bride and groom;

Cushion for rings
This is exactly the accessory on which the rings will be served to the young during the wedding. It’s okay if you don’t cook it in advance. Representatives of the registry office will offer you a standard beautiful saucer, on which the rings will lie. Such an accessory will serve not only at the ceremony itself, but will also create a wonderful background for photo rings.
But if you want to emphasize the individual character of your celebration, then you can sew a pillow with your own hands. Nothing complicated here. It will be enough to purchase beautiful material and lace. The pillow can be made not only in square or rectangular shape. The heart can also be a very popular form. This will emphasize the romance of the moment. Special variations suitable for your theme (shells, vases made of natural material, etc.) are also not prohibited.
Crystal glasses for breaking
To break glasses “for good luck” is a pleasant and spectacular tradition. Dishes for this will need to be prepared in advance. Someone will say that it’s very a pity to beat expensive crystal. Then you can approach this process creatively. For example, buy inexpensive glasses or take a couple from the existing service and decorate them with special paint, rhinestones and other elements. Depending on the chosen theme, the drawings on the glasses can repeat the given style. For the classic scenario, imitation of lace and beautiful white stains are suitable.
Folder for Certificate
After the representative of the registry office gives you the coveted document, it will be necessary to put it somewhere so that it does not crumple and is not lost. The stores sell standard folders for marriage registration certificates. But no one forbids you to make your own.
To simplify the task, you can buy a blank with a multifor and decorate it of your own free will.
In the future, you will need this document more than once, so make sure that the decor is securely attached. In a hard folder, it will be very convenient to carry the document with you in your bag, but if there are a lot of beads, rhinestones, etc. on it, then they can be detached. It is more advisable to use a standard folder or corner for these purposes, and at home you will again be able to put the main document of the family in a smart wrapper.
Invitations for guests
Ready-made options can be purchased at any store where postcards are sold. But it is quite banal and prosaic. After all, you yourself want your wedding not to be like any other. So start with the invitations. Do it yourself. You will need beautiful thick cardboard, lace and other decorative elements (optional).
Print the text on beautiful paper and paste into cardboard blanks. The outer side can be decorated with lace and beautiful ties made of satin ribbons. This is just one option. What will be your unique invitation depends only on your imagination and desire. You can be creative in composing the text of the invitation itself, and not just write the date and time of the marriage.
To emphasize individuality, you can use photos of young people. They can be located both on the inside and on the outside of the invitation.
Bandages for bridesmaids
The tradition of appointing bridesmaids has come to us from the West, and has already managed to take root. Despite the fact that witnesses today do not play such an important role as before, they are successfully replaced by an army of bridesmaids. To highlight their status, they dress in the same (or similar in style and color) dresses. A kind of decoration is tied to their hand - a garter. They are all the same.
You can make them yourself. At the same time, they combine well in color and style with the image and general theme of the wedding. These are mainly transparent ribbons with decorative colors.
If you want to make them yourself, then make sure that they hold well on the hand and do not fall apart. Indeed, during the celebration, girlfriends will take an active part in competitions and dances.
Seating Cards
To avoid fuss and awkward moments when seating, special cards will help. It is up to you to take care of the optimal location of the guests. After all, only you know who and with whom is better acquainted and friendly. It is necessary to take into account the categories of guests: relatives, friends, colleagues, etc. The cards are made very simply. Even without special skills in working with editors. You can write the guest name in beautiful font. It is necessary to print on thick paper or cardboard.
A creative option is also possible. For example, when a nameplate is tied to a napkin or a small flower. You can use as a stand for a stick with a name and chocolate candy in a beautiful golden wrapper. There are a lot of options here. One has only to understand that in this way you will not only mark the place of each guest, but also bring additional wedding decor to the table.
Table decoration: candles, bouquets
In addition to the festive table setting, you can also provide additional accessories that will create a mood. It can be small bouquets decorated with beautiful ribbons. If everything happens in the summer, then you can save and make small bouquets of wildflowers. Candles will be needed not only for the design of the table, but also for the symbolic tradition of "home". You can make them yourself, by visiting or watching a master class on their manufacture, or buy an ordinary candle and decorate it.
Money box
No matter how commonplace, but most guests prefer to give cash gifts. And the young family spent on the celebration, the funds will be useful. Of course, you can simply collect all the money envelopes and securely hide them, or you can build a special box for these purposes. It will be needed in some competitions. For example, when "buying" a piece of wedding cake. Agree, it will look much more aesthetic and more elegant than just collecting a host of money. How exactly to make such a box? It can imitate a chest or a piggy bank.
Please note that its size should be quite large, since the money is in special envelopes. And they can be both the size of a standard bill, and in the form of a postcard.
If you have a large casket at home, then you just have to decorate it. In the absence of one, you can make it out of cardboard. You can buy an inexpensive simple option in the store, and decorate at will. The design style should either be combined with the general theme, or be frankly festive and wedding.
Glass and bottle decor
Those glasses from which young people will drink require special attention. They can be decorated in the style of “bride and groom”. Or simply decorate with symbolic wedding rings, white doves. Bottles at a celebration can also be a piece of jewelry. You can order special labels and stick them on alcohol bottles in advance.
You will learn how to decorate bottles by watching the following video.
Car decoration
Much attention should be paid to the car in which the bride and groom will ride. For her, you can rent beautiful voluminous bows, ribbons and other accessories. But the rest of the car can not be left in its usual form. Usually decorations are mounted on door handles, a bumper.
A good material is tulle. From it you can make bows and flowers. To do this, just buy it in different colors and do not forget about satin ribbons.
Hall decoration
If the wedding is planned outside the city, then you can arrange a tent and an arch. Although the latter can be equipped at the entrance to the hall. The interior will be complemented by small bouquets, the design of the bar counter and the tables themselves.
Some of these elements can also be made by ourselves so as not to overpay and support the theme of the wedding.
Photozone
For guests and honeymooners, you can arrange a special photo zone.It can even be a small table with a beautiful tablecloth and wedding decor. Also with this role the tent perfectly copes.
More and more couples prefer exit registration, and this element will create a romantic atmosphere. It is easy to equip it from ordinary beams and light chiffon.
You can diversify wedding photos with the help of original volumetric figures. They are made of foam. What exactly to cut, each pair decides independently. It can be the names (or initials) of the newlyweds, and the word love, and rings. Recently, it has become very fashionable to design unique hashtags.
Paper and ribbon products
So, from these materials you can create the following elements for decorating a wedding:
- car decorations (ribbons and tulle will be an excellent material for decoration of a wedding procession);
- wedding invitations: we have already considered their design options using satin ribbons, lace and beads (you can still make decorations using quilling techniques);
- plates on the table;
- bandages on the hand of bridesmaids (here you can not do without beautiful translucent ribbons);
- box for money;
- decoration of the hall and table.
Bead jewelery
Making handmade objects from beads is a rather painstaking and delicate work.
Please note that certain types of wedding accessories are made in large numbers (according to the number of guests).
Beads can decorate a pillow for rings or attach it to invitations as a decorative element. You can also make bracelets from it - dressings for bridesmaids. This is a rather painstaking job, but the result is worth it. Such jewelry will remain in their collection for a long time, and will remind of this day. It is enough to study the weaving patterns, and the original bracelet will adorn the handles of girlfriends.
Little things at the wedding play an important role. They create a certain atmosphere and remain in the memory of guests and newlyweds for a long time. Make them yourself or order ready-made - each couple decides for herself. But in that, and in another case, you will need to show your own imagination.
