Unique
Décor Ideas

Think outside the box with this list of blossom-free wedding decoration ideas that can accentuate your floral designs:

Frame It
Use interesting and ornate frames throughout your wedding décor. They can be found inexpensively at weekend markets and discount homeware stores, then spray painted to match your wedding colours.

Fun with Fabric
Simple strips of patterned or floral fabrics can be used to tie things together, while simple ribbons can jazz up any space or tablescape.

The Food Pyramid
Fill cylindrical glass vases with fruits and vegetables reflecting your colours. Lemons and limes have been done, so try for a unique, more contemporary look with texture-rich earthy vegetables like asparagus, cabbage, or artichokes. If citrus suits your colour scheme and you're using flowers, you can slice the lemons or limes and place them in the jar surrounding the stems.

A Library Look
Stacks of books intricately piled can work in a number of different ways. They can add depth to a table centrepiece with a flower arrangement on top. They can also be great as a base for candles, photo frames or a guest book. For sophisticates, choose antique leather-bounds and vintage classics. For a more fun approach, use books with bright spines and kitschy titles. Or, tie it to your wedding location - if beach-side, go with maritime classics like Moby Dick and The Old Man and the Sea.

Au Natural
Consult Mother Nature for inspiration, and bring the outdoors in. Natural objects like leaves and twigs can add an organic aesthetic to your reception décor. Place them in rustic containers, or dip them in a gold or silver paint and scatter amongst pillar candles. This idea will nicely complement an Autumn wedding theme.
