We’re in love with all things fun and whimsical, and there isn’t a more colorful or Insta-worthy wedding trend than tassels and garland. Plus, they’re super budget friendly and easy to DIY—talk about fringe benefits! Flowers eat up at LEAST 8% of your wedding budget (you do the math). These fun floral décor substitutes sound like a no brainer to us. Here are our favorite ways to add a touch of tassel and gorg garland to any wedding theme.
