Savvy Wedding Decor Finds from IKEA
IKEA isn’t just for the home but also for your wedding. Check out our favorite IKEA decor finds for your wedding day.
One of the best budget tips when shopping for and planning a wedding is to buy items you can repurpose in your everyday life. Consider items that are sustainable when it comes to decorations and functionality. Shopping for wedding decor at places like Dollar Tree, Costco, and even the Swedish home furnishing brand, IKEA, makes a real difference in your bottom line and offers more bang for your buck.
IKEA hails from humble beginnings. It began in 1953 as a mail-order catalog business in the small southern town of Älmhult, Sweden. The company’s vision is to “create a better everyday life for many people.” That same vision also sounds like a great wedding goal for you and your beloved. By shopping wisely and asking what matters most for your wedding, like spending less and reducing waste, as a couple, you can create a better every day for your wedding guests. IKEA values simplicity, affordability, and sustainability without sacrificing style and design. These same values will be evident at your own wedding when you score some of these IKEA finds that can be repurposed long after the vows and rings have been exchanged.

Lanterns and candles always enhance wedding decor – and when it gets dark outside, their glow creates a romantic and cozy atmosphere. The wedding venue feels warm, guests feel welcome, and a romantic touch is added to every moment.
HEMSJÖ Unscented Block Candles
The glow from candles can add atmosphere to any moment – they can light up dark mornings, make a one-on-one dinner more romantic or make a venue or your home feel warmer and more inviting. The best part is when the wedding is over, these can still be reused in your own home over and over.
