Wedding decorations can really elevate the look and feel of your event, but typically many decor pieces are accompanied by a high cost. If you?re trying to stick to a strict wedding budget or simply are not looking to spend an arm and a leg on decor, there are alternative options. As long as you?re willing to be a bit scrappy and source decorations from more unique places, you?ll be able to find items you love for your wedding at a fraction of the cost!
Dollar Stores
Instead of hitting up a craft store for decorations, scour your local dollar store to get items on the cheap. This is the perfect place to look for things like candles, candle holders, and even fake flowers.
Discount Stores

Discount stores such as TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods are all the perfect place to find wedding decor at a discount. Items such as glass lanterns, candles, and string lights can be found here at a fraction of the cost of what you?d pay elsewhere. The caveat with this source is that you have to be willing to look early and often as their merchandise is constantly changing. If you find one of something you love and need multiple of them, you may have to visit other nearby stores to find more of what you?re looking for. Garage Sales and Flea Markets
Scour garage sales and flea markets in your area to find unique pieces of decor that can add some serious character to your event. You can even offer lower than their asking price and score an even better deal!
Antique Shops or Vintage Shows...
