- Choosing your wedding decorations is easier if you start with a certain theme, mood or color and work around that idea. Wedding themes include modern, vintage, classic and outdoor, as well as seasons, such as spring or fall. Popular wedding colors include white, silver, pink, gold and blue. You'll also want to visit your site and set a decorating budget before planning your decorations.
- Popular wedding flowers include roses, lilies, tulips, gardenias, sweet peas and hydrangeas. Your floral arrangements depend on the mood you want to create -- copper buckets of sunflowers create a very different mood than white calla lilies in a crystal vase. You also need to decide what color your bridesmaids and groomsmen will wear before you decide which type or color flowers you want. Flowers can be expensive, so set a floral budget before you begin.
- The color and texture of your tablecloth and other linens should match the mood of your wedding. Accents that match your bridesmaids' dresses -- such as vividly hued cloth napkins -- also add style to your reception. Consider flowers or candles for a centerpiece; you can even use your bridesmaids' bouquets as centerpieces. Wedding favors, such as gourmet bars of chocolate, also make excellent table decorations. Add flair with scattered confetti.
- Lighting sets the mood of the ceremony and reception. White Christmas lights create a magical twinkle, while candles add a soft, romantic touch. Paper lanterns give your reception a modern, stylish feel, while metal garden lanterns make a great centerpiece or decoration for outdoor receptions. Colored lighting tints the entire room a certain color, making a bold statement.
