What Can I Do With My Wedding Decor After My Wedding?

Planning your wedding can take months of hard work, but what do you do with all of your decorations after the wedding? 

Think ahead! Make a plan of what you want to do with your wedding decor after the big day so it doesn’t get forgotten about post-wedding. Need some inspiration? Read on for some ideas on what you can do with your wedding decorations after the big day! 

Utilise Items As Home Decor 

Custom signs and other personal items can be used as decoration in and around your home. Did you have a welcome sign? Why not frame the mirror in a coloured picture frame to match the aesthetic of your home? Fairy string lights can be reused to decorate your tables or desks. If the lights are small enough you can put them in an empty glass bottle to create a light feature. 

You can repurpose any candles you use at your wedding around your home. Large candle centrepieces can be used as a feature in any room of your home. Whereas smaller candles can be used for everyday use or to create an ambience in your house. If you have too many and you don’t want them to go to waste you can give some away to your family and friends to take home. Candles, personalised especially, would make great wedding favours. 

Create A Memory Box

There may be some items from your wedding that you want to keep but not display. A memory box is a perfect way to keep tangible memories safe and all together for you to look back on. This can include your wedding invitations, handwritten vows, your guestbook, photographs and jewellery and accessories. 

You could even create a wedding memory box picture frame. Create your own personalised display of sentimental wedding memories in one frame. With a depth of up to 80mm, box picture frames are perfect for framing more than just photos. 

Preserve And Frame Your Flowers

After spending so much on a beautiful bouquet it would be a shame to let them go to waste.  Persevering your flowers allows you to keep a piece of your special day in your home for years to come. There are many ways to preserve your flowers but why not press and frame them to create a stunning piece of art? Picture frames come in all shapes, styles and colours so you will be sure to find the perfect frame for your preserved flowers. 

Pressing your flowers is something you can DIY but there are professional services that will be able to do this for you. But do bear in mind that if you are using a professional service you will need to send off your followers within the days following your wedding to preserve them while they are still fresh. 

Sell Anything That Can Be Reused At Other Weddings 

Sites like Facebook Marketplace and eBay would be perfect for reselling anything that can be recused at another wedding.

Couples can even upcycle some of your old decorations like table number signs. Placing used table number signs in a new picture frame can give them a new look and one to match any wedding theme. Black and white picture frames are extremely versatile and can easily fit into many wedding colour schemes. This is a great idea to make some money back after your wedding.

Your venue may even like to purchase some of your non-personalised decor to offer to other couples. 

Donate To Charity

You can often find many hidden treasures in charity shops. Some couples may have small budgets to work with so charity shop finds would be perfect for couples looking to reduce costs and recycle. Donations to charity shops will not only help the charity make some money but will also help any DIY brides pick up some stuff for their weddings. 

Check with your local charity shops to see what they accept before donating.
