  Use plastic wedding rings to decorate scented gel air fresheners.wedding rings image by Shawn Stallard from Fotolia.com
  
  Make your own gel air fresheners. Buy several small glass containers with lids. Gather four packs of gelatin, 2 cups of water, a tablespoon of salt, food coloring and scented oil to make one batch of scented gelatin. Prepare the gelatin with one cup of boiling water and salt. Stir until all of the gelatin is dissolved. Add one cup of cold water, food coloring and 30 drops of scented oil. Pour the gelatin mixture into your glass containers and allow it too cool at room temperature. Divide the number of remaining empty containers by the number of containers you filled with one batch. This will give you the number of batches you must prepare to fill the remaining containers. Decorate your glass containers with ribbons, sequins or homemade labels with the bride's and groom's names and wedding date. You can even put plastic wedding rings or pearls and rhinestones inside each container before the gel sets to add a glitzy look.
  
  
• 3). Create champagne glass wedding favors. Purchase one champagne glass for each wedding guest. These do not need to be fine crystal. Discount glassware will do. Fill each glass with the candy of your choice. Cover each glass with a tulle circle. Bunch the material around the stem and tie each glass with a ribbon.

  Use flowers and candles to make wedding decorations.flowers and candle image by Gina Smith from Fotolia.com
  
  Make floral candelabras to decorate the church. Purchase as many candelabras and candles as you deem appropriate for the size of the church. Weave artificial flowers through the base of the candelabras and secure them with a glue gun or floral wire. Keep the flowers far enough from the candle flame so there is no chance of fire.

  Tulle is a common decoration for weddings.fleurs et tulles image by Magalice from Fotolia.com
  
  Decorate the church with tulle and twinkle lights. These two inexpensive items can be combined in a stylish way to turn the church into a fairyland. Use as little or as much as you want to decorate the entrance, the pews, the ceiling, around doorways and windows and the area on either side of the altar. Use removable adhesive hooks for hanging lights and tulle from walls, altars, ceilings and doorways. Use plastic or metal pew hooks for draping material on pews.

  Ivy and flowers combine to make natural decor for a wedding.ivy image by chrisharvey from Fotolia.com
  
  Use ivy and artificial flowers to decorate the wedding venue. Combine the two in a decorative arrangement, and affix them the end of each pew all the way up the aisle. Cover a lightweight wire or wooden archway in flowers and ivy as a focal point at the front of the venue to frame the bride and groom. Drape the railing leading into the church with a trail of ivy and flowers as well.
