Most people want something that doesn’t eat into their pocket, the economy is not improving to its normal to want a thrifted wedding. Thrifted wedding decoration might seem easy but it’s slightly difficult, especially if you’re going to organize the wedding decoration yourself.
From rustic style to bohemian and even vintage style, there are so many ideas here. If you’ve never done any decoration before then you don’t need to worry. Most of these decorations are not as hard as they seem, once you start decorating, you’ll know they’re not very difficult.
This post is to help you organize your thrifted wedding perfectly, most of the decorations here are actually very easy. If you’re planing on doing the decoration yourself then there are so many ideas that’ll help you in your journey. I’ve got more than enough artistic ideas for you to tap into.
1

Creating a photo chart is one of the best ways to make a wedding decor look very classy. This chart can be done into anyway, and they’re used in most weddings. While most people seek the help of professionals, you can literally organize the chat yourself.
A bed wood is being used to organize this photo chart, I once did a photo chart but used a mirror instead. You can place photos with memories sir even pre wedding photos. You’ll give your guest the key to most of your pre-wedding memories, it’s really a nice idea.

Who would have thought that the ladder you’ve thrown in the garage and you’ve decided never to use it again, can be used for someone else’s wedding decoration. This is the beauty of art, one mans trash is literally another man’s treasure. If you’ve got a ladder and you like this style then hop in.
I’ve never seen a ladder used for just drinks, most ladders I’ve seen are usually just for photo charts. This ladder arrangement is pure vintage, the leaves on the ladder makes it even more artistic. This is the kind of setup that’ll keep guests wondering why they never tried it.

Table arrangement if one of the most important set ups when it comes to wedding decoration, you cannot have a successful wedding if your seats are not arranged properly. I’ve encountered a wedding without proper seat arrangements and it was a mess, everyone was complaining.
This arrangement can be done easily even if you’ve never done it before. Get any glass you’ve got at home. I used a big mirror for mine but if you’ve got a glass like this one, then you can do something identical. You’ll use stickers for the names so you can use the glass some other time.

Not having flowers in any decoration is a letdown for me, flower are very important when it comes to my decoration. I use them for my centerpiece, my ceiling decoration and many more. You just cannot got wrong with flower, you’ll always see the beauty whenever you use them.
Flowers being used for ceiling decoration might be a new thing to you but I do it every time. Use a rope to connect the flowers then hang them from one end to another, it’s really that easy. I also like to use the same flowers for my centerpiece, this give a unique look.

A welcome sign is one of the most important items when decorating a wedding venue. People want to know that they’re in the right place and there’s nothing better to help them know that than a nice welcome sign. The sign is usually placed as the entrance of the venue.
You can use a lot of items to create this sign yourself, it’s one of the easiest things to do. Most people would opt for banners, which is perfect but this is a thrifted wedding so we’re trying to save as much money as possible. Just like how we used glass for the previous setting arrangement, this can be done in the same way.

A farmhouse setting is one of the best and I never miss a chance to be part of them. If you’re going for a farmhouse theme then I assure you, you’re going to get the most artistic look. I like the versatility of this theme the most, you can literally combine items of different themes in a farmhouse setting and it’ll look good.
Vintage, bohemian and even modern designs can be added to your farmhouse decoration. If you’re going for this theme then you need to start bringing out the artist in you because this theme is pure art. Whether you decide to make it simple or use heavy design, farmhouse decoration always works.

The arch is probably the most important part of any decoration, you should never leave it empty. When you walk into a wedding venue, the arch is impossible not to notice, everyone’s face is fixated at the middle and that’s where the arch is. You have to make your arch perfect to complete your decoration.
Flowers are very important when it comes to serve decoration, you can use balloons not I doubt talk hold as much weight as flowers do. This is Avery easy decoration, even a beginner should be able to achieve this with the right tools. Flowers are very versatile so the colors won’t matter.

This is another genius sign idea, this is way more creative than the once we’ve been seeing. This is perfect for any kind of wedding setup, you can use this for any theme at all. This looks like it’ll be very easy considering the fact that the setting doesn’t require too many items.
Flowers and candles and two items I’ll never forget when it comes to wedding decoration. These items contribute a lot to the beauty of the dining table and many other parts of the venue. Placing them beside your welcome sign will be a great ideas.

This is very similar to the previous arch arrangement but better, it’s even better. If you’re going to use flower in any wedding decoration then your arch should benefit the most. This arch arrangement will work for any theme at all so that shouldn’t be a problem.
If you’re going for a budget wedding then you’ve got to attempt this setup yourself. The wood setting will be the hardest but it’s not the case, there are many tutorials on how to make wedding arch perfectly. You can always reuse the wood for something else too.

There are so many cheap diy projects you can do when it comes to wedding decoration. I’ve seen a couple that organized their entire wedding themselves. This post is about thrifted wedding decoration so you’ll have to dialog of things yourself if you really want to save money.
Vintage lamps are very easy and most of them are cheap. This setup is a lot more than just the regular vintage lamp arrangement, this has extra items to it. The rope and flowers makes the lamp look very artistic and I love the look. This will be perfect on a tree (that’s if you’re doing an outdoor wedding).
11

There are so many themes you can go for, you can even mix them up if you want. I’ve seen people do a farmhouse setting but the place was filled with boho items. You can do so much with different themes if you know how to do it right and this image proves it.
This is a classic traditional bohemian setting but it has more vintage items. If you like to combine themes for your decoration, this is the perfect combination. You’ll find it very easy to organize this setup because most of these vintage items are easily accessible.
12

I don’t like when people leave the middle empty, most people focus on other areas and neglect the middle. I like to place a lot of things from the door to the arch. Flowers and candle lights are two of my favorite, I’d keep them side by side from the door down to the arch.
This is the easiest setup in any decoration because you don’t need to do too much. You can place a flower vase with colorful flowers, candle holders with candles or just big candles. You can decide to place both flowers and candles as seen in this image.
13

Everyone wants to focus on the inside, it’s nice to focus more on the main environment but the outdoor decor should also be good. You can even connect the outdoor decor to the inside decor (through the middle) with candles or flowers.
They’ve gone for candles on each side, you can use electric lights or real candles if you want a natural feel.
Use flowers to decorate the top of the entrance like you would the arch, this decor should be very easy since you’re just hanging the flowers.

Ceiling decor is on of the most important, the ceiling is a place that people are constantly looking at so you’ve got to decorate that area properly. There are so many things you can do there, you can use chandeliers, you can place small lights and you can also use plant pots.
This plant pot arrangement is totally different from what we’re use to, I’m sure most people have not seen this ceiling arrangement before. If you’ve got a small garden, you should know how to set these plant pot, it’s a lot easier than it looks. Do this plant arrangement for your ceiling and your guest will love them.

When organizing a thrifted wedding, you’ll need to tap into your inner creativity. There are so many items in the garage that will be very helpful. I used most of my home equipments the last time I hosted a thrifted party. It’s the easiest kind of decoration if you’re creative.
You’ll find sign boards at the entrance of most parties, most are done by professionals but anybody can do it. The board is literally the easiest thing to do especially if you’re organizing a thrifted wedding. This shovel and flower arrange is very easy.
16

I’ve always said that I love to occupy the middle with something, you’ll find most people placing flowers and lights in the middle. Placing mats in the middle gives a different look, if you’re going for a bohemian theme, farmhouse or even a vintage theme, this idea is for you.
Placing bohemian mats from the entrance down to where you have the arch might be the most artistic thing you’ve seen. You can also decorate the arch with flowers or bohemian hangers, this will perfect the bohemian setting. Chairs can be rustic or anything.

One place people will look at more is the arch, everyone is facing that are directly so it’s almost impossible not to look at. You have to make the arch very beautiful, your decoration should be heavy in that area. You can go for a simple design but make sure you design it well.
Flowers and lights are two things that can be used to decorate the arch perfectly. This image has both flowers and candle lights, with colorful clothes that’ll mostly likely fit the theme of the decoration. This might look difficult but it’s not, the only problem you’ll have is organizing the items.

Modern decorations are trending and people are hopping on the trend, these modern decorations are versatile and can be mixed with old vintage items.
You’d think only a profession can pull this off but this is not hard at all, as long as you’ve got all the items in place, this should be very easy.
This will be the perfect modern and old vintage combination, I love a design combination and this looks perfect. I’d prefer to place vintage lamps in the middle instead of the candle lights, vintage lamps are way more artistic than these regular candles lights.

If you’re preparing for an outdoor wedding then you have to make use of your environments. The trees in that garden should be used for your decoration. I once organized a garden wedding and the tree was used as the arch, I didn’t think it would work but it did.
If you’ve organizing a garden wedding then you’ll need to make use of the trees. You can use the trees as arch if you don’t want to make one or you don’t have the budget to get one. This tree arrangement is very simple and you’ll not waste time setting it up.

Pick a venue, then place the chairs and flowers, this is literally what most people do when they’re organizing a budget wedding. To be fair, you don’t need much when you’re organizing a garden wedding. This venue alone contributes to the decoration of the place.
Place flowers on each side of the chair from the entrance to the aisle. You don’t need chandelier because it’s an open space with lights everywhere, but if you want to add them for more aesthetic then you should.
