50 Decoration Ideas for Your Wedding

Wedding decor is what transforms a simple room into a magical place ✨ Whether you have a small budget or more substantial means, there are ideas for every style!

We've prepared 50 ideas organized by theme, with practical tips for each one.

🌸 2025 Decor Trends

This year, we're seeing a lot of:

Chic minimalism: less is more
