Start your new life together without going into debt with these budget wedding decoration ideas.

1. Pretty White Lights
Ever notice that lots of restaurants use those tiny white lights year round? That's because they add sophisticated ambiance and they're incredibly inexpensive. Stock up on some strands and add chic sparkle to your wedding venue without spending a fortune.

2. Flowers: Less is More
The cost of flowers makes up a big slice of the wedding budget pie. There are a couple of ways you can pare down that cost while actually making your budget wedding decorations look more high end. Fill out flower arrangements with fragrant herbs, like mint. And use some potted plants and small trees in place of arrangements. They look especially beautifully decorated with sparkling white lights!

3. All Accessories are not Equal
The decorative accents you choose for your centerpieces and décor can have a big effect on your budget. Stick to less expensive accessories such as ribbons, bows, seashells and candles. They'll look just as beautiful as more expensive options without breaking your budget.

4. Borrow or Share
How about making decorations the "something borrowed" part of your wedding? You've probably adapted a relative's plants or home décor. Why not ask if you can borrow something from them? They'll likely be honored to help out with your special day. You can also share decorations if there are other weddings taking place at your venue before and / or after yours. Try contacting the other bride (s) and groom (s) – they may welcome the chance to split the cost of the décor.

5. Love the Holidays?
If you love the holiday season, you may not have to worry about finding budget wedding decorations. Many avenues and churches are beautifully decorated for the holidays, so why not have your wedding then? You'll save big money on decorations if your venue is already "dressed to the nines."
