You want your wedding décor to be anything but basic. If you’re planning your wedding on your own, or simply don’t know where to begin with your event designer, fear not. These easy décor hacks are here to take your reception to the next level. From light bulbs to wine corks, you won’t believe what you can do with everyday household items. It’s time for some majorly innovative wedding décor inspo.
1. Floral Lanterns
For a surprisingly elegant piece of décor, ditch the candle and fill your lantern with flowers. Line your aisle or hang the lanterns from the ceiling for a fairytale vibe.


2. Garland Backdrop
There are so many fun ways to create a backdrop. Whether it’s for a photo background or simply décor, garlands make use of an otherwise empty space while being extremely customizable for epic pics.

3. Wine Cork Table Numbers
There are too many table number ideas out there to count (get it?) but this one is sure to impress. Plus you get to pop bottles in preparation.

4. Lightbulb Vases
Light up your reception with this innovative décor idea. For an added country feel—add twine to cover the part that is typically screwed into your precious Tiffany lamp.


5. Inscribed Pallets
Pallets are all the rustic rage right now. Have your calligrapher inscribe your dinner menu or the day’s schedule for a fun (and inexpensive) way to decorate your reception while serving a purpose.

6. Vintage Suitcase Card Collection
A card box is not strictly for utility. Use this opportunity to incorporate it into your décor and theme as a whole. We love the idea of using a vintage suitcase. Plus you can just lock it up and carry it away at the end of the evening!


7. Spray Paint Is Your BFF
The possibilities are endless here. Spray paint candleholders to match your color scheme or use metallic spray to turn dollar store vases into gorgeous centerpieces!

8. Hanging Frames
This has to be one of the easiest and coolest-looking hacks to hit the wedding world. Not only do hanging frames make for flawless photo ops, but add a little spray paint and your Goodwill frame will look like it belongs in a Brooklyn art installment.
