An IN-DEPTH Decor Q+A

[@thekitschsidekick]

My wedding was last month but spotted the title and thought I'd share. I had a florist and absolutely adored the fresh, colourful spring arrangements she did for the tables and arch. I saved bottles and jars to save money and the best bit was I donated all of these to a local elderly residents' home the next day! They put them in the restaurant and apparently loved them. Consider passing on the love and share the happiness of your big day!

[@feelosophy1921]

Such a beautiful idea. Colorful flowers always cheer me up.

[@nriamond8010]

My sister and I both had no florals at our weddings (okay, my sister at least had a bouquet, I had zero flowers). We saved so much money! Her centerpieces were lanterns, mine was different nerd stuff, partly presented in cloches and hoops. I had a table runners of all colours, for every table a different one; I wore a rainbow necklace, hairband and button/felt flowers bouquet. All of that did not cost much. No bridal party. There are lots of ideas out there when you just google "nonfloral centerpiece" :)

a useful thing to know for winter greenery, use alcohol to get pine sap off your hands/out of clothes

[@aleisterlilywhite1109]

I can’t recommend Trader Joe’s enough for florals. They always have the best stuff. They’re mostly seasonal though, so keep that in mind too if you wanted something rare.

[@karengurske]

Yes! And the price point is so reasonable.

Omg I’ve been binge watching all your videos because my wedding is on July 6th and my maid of honor just dropped out of my wedding a few days ago 😂 your videos have been making me feel better and feel more organized about my wedding. Thank you! ❤

[@aprilpowell6619]

So sorry your bridesmaid dropped out! I know you will have a beautiful day and you are marrying the love of your life. God Bless you!

I'm buying flowers from Sam's Club and we'll make the bouquets and boutonnieres ourselves. I found a local artist who does pressed flowers and I plan to have her press flowers from my bouquet to have as a keepsake. Centerpieces will be nonfloral aside from the head table which will likely have some gypsophila that we'll have leftover from the bridesmaid bouquets.

I am decorating my own wedding that is in 2 months I ordered all of my decor off Temu/shein/Amazon with a budget of 2000(for decor only) I found these 24packs of bud vases for 19.99 each! and a 💩load of fake florals and dried flower/fruits hoping everything looks nice🤣🤞the great thing is I have the “venue” for 3 days in advance so I will be able to actually decorate by myself lol (PLS NOBODY TELL ME HOW STUPID I AM UNTIL 2 MONTHS PASS LOL)

Hi Jamie, love your content. From 19:24 there seems to be raw footage accidentally left in the video…. Just letting you know in case you wanted to edit it :)

[@JamieWolfer]

I love you forever for letting me know. Fixing it now!

[@LoraK31]

I'm getting married next month, and dried flowers have been such a great cheap alternative! We ordered a bunch on Etsy (about $5 for each little bouquet) and a package of 30 mini vases, plus a package of mini lanterns, and this combo is looking so cute as a centerpiece!

[@hollynauss6359]

For one fall wedding, the couple had bought various baskets from thrift stores. They then filled them with crumpled newspaper filler with a top layer of pinecones picked from a friend's wooded back yard. Lovely!

[@susancook1448]

We used mirrors on the tables with fresh flowers in crystal vases (from the antique or charity shops). Added lots of crystal votive holders with candles. The light from the candles with the mirrors looked very nice. I had no idea a mirror is out of date but not going to toss my Mirror collection.

Been married 32 years but you dropped into my feed and I’m enjoying your videos. I’m an American living in SW France. My friend is a florist for a local château-weddings and events. She sends me photos of the weddings as well as brings me flowers that are left behind after weddings.

Hi, I'd love to know the name of your friend, I'm also in the SW of France :)

Re: same space for both ceremony and reception. We did this almost 15 years ago for a wedding and recently attended two weddings that used the same space for both. In all cases, the tables were preset with a center area for an aisle/dance floor. Couples exited after the ceremony to have photos taken then were announced when they reentered. One couple had the food tables set up (covered) in the rear of the gymnasium. The other two used an adjacent room for food/buffet setup. One had guests go through the buffet line while the wedding party was elsewhere taking photos. The other couple had guests wait until the wedding party returned before dismissing to the food area. All 3 methods were both beautiful and successful. No post- ceremony "flips" were necessary.

For my wedding, I kept the flowers at a minimum at the church because it was only 30 ninute ceremony. We didn't have any flowers at the church pews just white bows. At the alter we rented large gold candalaberas (about 5 feet tall each) to flank us & our wedding party. We had a large floral spray for our unity candle table that we brought to the reception & put at the head wedding party table. Bridesmaids' flower bouquets & mine went in vases at our head table to. That's all the flowers we had from our ceremony that went to the reception. Our church did have large artifical flower basket displays toward to back of the alter too. It was a bit plain at the church but we we were satisfied. Our reception had more flowers, votive candle, decor.

[@courtneycamera1]

I appreciate this so much! I plan on getting married in October and get my graduate school thesis presented by August. I’m also working full time so I’m one sneeze from loosing my marbles.

This video was so helpful! Thank you Jamie! ❤

Sams club for bulk fresh florals and garlands!

[@saracobb1688]

I want tips for ohoto booth!! Like can i just diy and set up a phone or etc with a remote. Any ideas or tips on ohoto booth?

[@Sky-Child]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT TODAY OMG

[@lalaland9246]

How would you mix 2 decor themes in 1 reception room. I try to find commonality and have a transition space where the dance floor is 1 theme (forest) and the dinner area is another (beach)

[@hollynauss6359]

It would take a lot of helpers ( people not part of the wedding) and a lot of time to make such a drastic style transition.

[@candacesteveley2798]

Thank you!

[@ShaynaBrielle]

Where is the diy needs video? Didn’t see the link 😢

[@Zoelien713]

My MIL kept suggesting the mirrors but I couldn’t help thinking of coke mirrors and that was NOT my vibe. She also kept suggesting live fish in a fishbowl with roses😅

[@aShadeBolder]

poor fish...

[@feelosophy1921]

Haha The mirrors could be fabulous if the lighting is right.

[@orionspero560]

What are these bud vases who keep referring to?

[@jenniferlisow2901]

Small, narrow vases that you put 1 flower in like a rose or daisy or a small flower bunch like babies breath.

[@cootishere]

I feel like we weren't meant to see the last few minutes of the video
