Wedding Setup Shopping Lists: Decor, Emergency Kit, and Reception
There are three ready-to-shop wedding kits here, a DIY decor kit, an emergency kit and a reception setup, each in three price tiers so you can match the list to your budget. Every product opens on Amazon, and a printable PDF is available.
Uplighting, the cheapest room transformation
Uplighting changes how a room photographs more cheaply than almost anything else. Battery units need no cable runs, so venues that ban taped-down leads still allow them.

DIY Wedding Decor Kit
Under $150 to under $750 across three tiersEverything you need to decorate a ceremony space and reception tables yourself, now in three price tiers. Budget leans on draping, tea lights, and greenery instead of an arch. Standard is the full DIY package with a reusable gold arch and welcome sign. Premium steps up to a heavy-duty hexagonal arch, a white rose flower wall, larger floral arrangements, a gold candelabra accent, and uplighting. Buying decor as a kit instead of renting typically saves $400-$800 with a florist or decor vendor.
Bare-Bones DIY
Under $150Skips the arch and signage entirely: drape a doorway, pergola, or borrowed frame with chiffon, then dress the tables with runners, tea lights in votives, greenery, and faux roses.
