Before we dive in. Don’t ever feel that you have to go over budget on your wedding decor. You don’t actually need to have any decorations on your tables if you so wish, or if your budget doesn’t allow it.

But, it’s highly likely that you are going to want to make your top table look amazing. Therefore, here before you are 41 unique decoration ideas. Some will be a little more luxurious. However, most of these ideas could be DIY’d, picked up second hand or hired.

And as always, don’t forget to think outside of the box. Incorporate your loves, your hobbies and your style. Plus think about how you can source items for free, by borrowing or bringing them from your home. Then there is the option of reselling decor post-wedding to recoup some of your expenditure.
