Let’s keep it real, weddings are expensive! So every little penny you can save is like a lords blessing, do you want to know why every Pinterest wedding (aka fake wedding shoot) is super tiny and only has ten people at it? Because decorating a small space is easy. And more importantly: decorating a small space costs significantly less than decorating a big space with the same amount of stuff.

The answer is: it’s all in the execution. So when our friends at Oh Happy Day launched their brand new party shop this month, we were pretty excited. While the online shop features some things you’ve probably seen before (honeycomb decorations, streamers, balloons), this #lazygirl is very into the idea of having it all in one place, and curate by someone with a designer’s aesthetic, so I can give my Googling a rest. We thought we’d use the launch of their shop as an excuse to show you a bunch of different ideas for decorating big empty spaces with lots of cheap (cute) decor. Because with a cool idea, bulk decorations in a big empty space can actually look way more stylish than the intricate details you see on those fake weddings on Pinterest.

Have a space with really tall ceilings? Use giant balloons to make floating centerpieces that pack a lot of punch. Or if you don’t want to bother with helium (more on that below), stick big balloons to a wall for a big ass ceremony backdrop.

You don’t need to go for broke to make a cool backdrop or statement wall. Some strategically placed washi tape will suffice.

Floating table numbers. Makes your table easy to find, and fills up lots of space. Win/win?

So many cheap hacks, you will want to have a ceremony right away, even if you don’t have anybody to marry with (sob).
