Using coffee beans in your wedding decorating is turning into a very classy choice for brides, and one to definitely consider. Not only will they be a beautiful choice for your wedding ceremony, they are also less costly than other fillers you can use. So, here are some great ideas you can use to incorporate coffee beans into your wedding decorations and centerpieces.
1. Candles and Coffee Beans - This one is used most often, and is the easiest to incorporate. Simply fill the bottom of your glass candle holder with coffee beans, and place a candle of any color in the center to be lit. You can also use several tea light candles instead of a large candle to save you some money, and it adds romantic lighting.
2. Flowers and Coffee Beans - For your wedding flower decorations, fill the bottom of a glass vase with coffee beans, and place your flowers into the vase so that they are sitting in the coffee beans. You can use either real flowers or silk (silk won't wilt due to lack of water)
3. Circle of Coffee Beans - I've seen this done, and it is very elegant. Create a large centerpiece on the table, and fill shot glasses with coffee beans, and place them around the main centerpiece on the table. Now, this can be a bit of an overkill if you are planning on your main centerpiece being candles and coffee beans, but it will look great if you are using flowers.
4. Coffee Wedding Favors - The choices are limitless when it comes to coffee wedding favors, and it will also add color to your table. Create small packs of chocolate covered coffee beans, or regular coffee beans of your favorite brew, with a tag called Romantic Brew, or Love is Brewing, or some other cute coffee quote. Your guests will be able to enjoy this great wedding favor long after your wedding is over.
Once you buy your coffee beans for your wedding decorations, be sure to store them in medium sized air tight bags to keep them fresh and smelling great. Coffee beans are an excellent way to add color to your tables, especially if your wedding colors are pink and brown - or any color combination with brown. Those wedding colors are so popular, and knowing you can use coffee beans as a wedding combination makes many couples less nervous about choosing brown as a wedding color.
First of all you need to make a checklist of all the items for your wedding decorations. Then you should decide which of them are the essential items. This is very important since from this checklist you will have a rough idea how much you need to do and how much money you will probably spend. For example, you will certainly have centerpieces for the tables. They are something so essential that you cannot have your decorations done without them. On the contrary, you may try to eliminate minor items so the you can cut your cost.
After you have your checklist, you should now try to think of different ways of saving money on each of the essential items. DIY is always the best way of saving money. In fact this is also true for your wedding invitation and wedding favors. And for your wedding decoration, it is especially true for the centerpieces. You will have a centerpiece for each table and this will certainly cost something. By choosing cheaper materials you can save a considerable amount of money on the centerpieces.
Besides, you will probably need to get some flowers for your wedding venue. Using artificial flowers will save you a lot. You may think that fresh flowers deliver a quality that artificial flowers cannot be replaced with. This is always true that fresh flowers should be a lot better than artificial flowers. However, there is a trade-off between the budget and the flowers. I will still suggest you to use artificial flowers if you are determined to save money.
You may also collected some unused materials for your decorations. Empty bottles can be a brilliant idea. You can use empty bottles to make a wedding sculpture yourself. This on one hand can help you to save money. On the other hand it should be very impressive to your guests since it is an art piece created by you. It will be even more interesting and romantic if you and your fiance work on this sculpture together. It can be sure that the process will be as romantic as the moment when you two cut the wedding cake.
Apart from the items for decorations, you can also save money on the actual decoration work. Again, DIY is the best way in order to save money. You may want to use petals to create a heart shape on the floor of the wedding venue. A wedding decoration company will certainly charge you some money for this job. You may also ask your friends to help in this case. Since it is your wedding they should be more than happy to help you. And of course you will also need to do other decoration work yourself such as putting the centerpieces on each table.
