Embrace this bold palette inspired by Pantone's color of the year.

Emulate a starry night with this dark and dreamy blue and silver wedding table. Instead of flowers, save money with DIY centerpieces and further the theme with cost-effective DIY place cards. Instead of expensive chair covers, tie each seat with impactful blue tulle.
Set the scene for an upscale dinner celebration with a navy and purple wedding table. The rich hues automatically create an elegant feel, and you can punch up the wow factor even further with inexpensive decor. Plastic blue and purple wine glasses cut costs while adding color, and a single peacock feather purchased as part of a cost-effective set adds texture and interest to each seat.
Set the scene for a beachy reception without breaking the bank with this cost-effective Nantucket wedding table theme. Basic blue, white and pink elements versus shimmery, glittery options; Wood Pattern Wedding Chargers can be repurposed for future functions and an inexpensive White Starfish and White Personalized Sailboat Napkin on each plate creates big impact for little cost. Homemade Salt Water Taffy makes for a cheap yet heartfelt favor, while Metallic Gold Cutlery adds elegant shine without a major expense.
The stunning blooms in this celebration are amazingly all DIY -- learn how to DIY your entire wedding flowers and save serious dollars.

If you want your wedding to be remembered as classic and refined, create this tablescape that fits the bill but stays within your budget. Add strategic pops of silver without going overboard to ensure your table doesn't turn gaudy, and rely on inexpensive candlelight to help set the tone.
Add elegance to an already charming rustic barn wedding with soft florals and dressed-up lanterns. Save money by bringing in your own old books and Mason jars, and add height to smaller centerpieces by sitting them atop Wood Centerpieces.
Keep in mind that if the inexpensive wedding decor you find doesn't match your scheme, a can of spray paint can be your BFF, as these gold-dusted centerpiece items show. Faux florals save money and appear more natural when laid into a Diamond Cut Pedestal Dish versus being displayed as a traditional centerpiece. When filled, Clear Patterned Champagne Flutes and Clear Patterned Wine Glasses appear indistinguishable from glass.
Celebrate your fall wedding with an inexpensive seasonally inspired table. Save money by covering any table with Weathered Wood Paper Roll to achieve a rustic look. Cover the table with a mix of low-cost Gold-Dipped White Pumpkins, DIY patinated pumpkins and Faux Succulent Picks. Ivory Rose Gold Trim Dinner Plates add elegance while keeping with the theme and DIY Wood Leaf place cards add a low-cost personal touch.
You've been dreaming of meeting and marrying your Prince Charming since you were a little girl -- make sure your reception tables reflect your dream-come-true day with celebratory shine. Save by using florals sparingly, opting instead for a Faux Leaf Greenery Garland with Faux Baby's Breath Stems sprinkled in. Save money and create ambiance by DIYing the centerpieces -- simply fill glass bowls with LED Warm White Mini String Lights.
Fresh boxwoods are among the more expensive shrubs out there (not to mention take forever to grow on your own) -- but you can create the look for much less with faux medium and large decor balls. A black backdrop adds a level of drama, while shimmering Gold Chargers, table numbers, candle holders and cutlery keep the elegant tablescape from getting too dark.
Create a New Year's Eve wedding table covered in glitz and glam that only looks like you spent big using Marble Print Contact Paper Roll and shimmery details like Champagne Glitter Votive Holders, Gold Chargers and DIY gold-painted Clear Square Votive Holders. A Gold Confetti Wand doubles as decor until it creates a shower of sparkles at the stroke of midnight.
Host an elegant botanical-themed wedding without busting your budget on pricey fresh greenery and florals that will be thrown away at the end of the night. With a simple, inexpensive White Metallic Linen Table Runner as the base, build on layers of Faux Eucalyptus Garland, Succulent Picks and other faux greenery as your space allows. Add richness and depth to the look with gold tableware and accents.
