Beyond Flowers: Expand Your Idea of Décor

A wonderful way to set your wedding apart from the rest is to inject a bit of your own personality into it. One way to do so is to think outside of the box for your décor. Instead of sticking to traditional flowers, look for rental companies that can help create a complete environment for the wedding. Are you inspired by Eastern philosophy? Bring in a large statue of Buddha. Is Gatsby more your style? Think big bouquets of ostrich feathers illuminated with Art Deco chandeliers. Even if you’re on a limited budget, you’ll be surprised at what you can do with a little dose of creativity. Here, check out 10 fun and unique themes to use as inspiration!

1. Moonlit Morocco
Wanderlusters everywhere will love the feeling of being in a far away land while never having to set foot on a plane! Place some hookah pipes and richly-hued embellished throw pillows under some intricate lanterns to create an out-of-this-world atmosphere for you and your guests.

2. Alice in Wonderland
It's not just for kids anymore. Use bright colors and eclectic elements for a grown-up take on Alice in Wonderland. A Mad Hatter cake and costumed dessert table performers will make you and your guests feel like you just fell down the rabbit hole.

Tip of the Day: It’s no secret that with two sets of families involved, assumptions will be made that might not necessarily mesh with your big-day plans — but what do you do when a friend assumes she’ll be part of the bigger festivities? Instead of hoping and praying your friend will understand, get in front of the conversation and say, "I would have loved to have a larger bridal party, but I hope you can support our decision to keep it small — I’m asking that this not jeopardize our friendship."
