How to Save Thousands on Wedding Decor Without Sacrificing Style or Elegance
Let’s be honest—wedding decor is one of those sneaky budget traps.
It starts with a few Pinterest boards and a “simple” DIY vision… and somehow turns into thousands of dollars in receipts, late-night craft sessions, and a garage full of decor you’ll never use again.
Sound familiar?
If you’re planning a wedding in Tyler, Texas or anywhere in East Texas, here’s the truth no one tells you soon enough:
You don’t need to spend a fortune to have a beautiful, stylish wedding.
You just need a smarter strategy.

What Couples Regret Most About Wedding Decor
We hear it all the time:
✔ “I thought I was saving money by DIY-ing… until I added everything up.”
✔ “I spent weeks crafting centerpieces, then barely noticed them on the actual day.”
✔ “I bought so many things I’ll never use again, and now I don’t even know what to do with it all.”
The reality is, DIY isn’t always cheaper…and it certainly isn’t easier.
Between the cost of supplies, the time investment, and the stress of setup and teardown, many couples end up spending way more than they expected (without the relaxing, joy-filled day they hoped for).

The Smarter Way to Save on Wedding Decor
Here’s something most couples don’t consider early enough in the planning process:
The right venue can save you thousands, before you ever buy a piece of decor.
At Sunset Oaks, we include elegant silk florals, beautiful decor pieces, and essential rentals in your wedding package. That means:
✔ No last-minute Target runs or adding to your Amazon cart
✔ No stressing over centerpiece assembly
✔ No giant storage tubs of decorations to deal with after the wedding
Just a stunning setup, with decor for you.

Included Decor = Less Stress + Big Savings
When you tour Sunset Oaks, you’ll see just how much you can check off your list instantly. Our collection includes:
• Silk floral centerpieces and arrangements
• Candles, lanterns, vases, and accent pieces
• Charger plates, easels, signage, and more
• Seating chart frames, cake stands, and table decor essentials
All carefully curated to give your wedding an elevated, cohesive look—without the extra cost or stress.
💡 Many couples save over $2,000 simply by choosing a venue that includes decor.
That’s money you can put toward something that really matters, like your honeymoon, photography, or a stress-free wedding coordinator.
Why DIY Decor Sounds Better Than It Feels
We love creativity, but let’s be honest, DIY can come with some major headaches:
You spend hours planning and prepping… and barely get to enjoy it on the actual day.
You have to do something with the decor after the wedding. Trying to sell it on Facebook Marketplace only gets you so far.
Choosing a venue with included decor removes all that pressure
…and gives you the polished look you want without the chaos you don’t.

The Bottom Line: Style Doesn’t Have to Break the Bank
You don’t have to choose between a beautiful wedding and a practical budget.
When your venue includes the essentials, from elegant florals to decor and rentals, you get the best of both worlds: elevated style without overspending.
And most importantly? You get your time back. So you can focus on what really matters—celebrating your love, not setting up centerpieces.
