Pom-poms are wonderful decorations which can be used for the wedding ceremony and reception. The materials needed are also cheap compared with other craft projects. They can be made out of yarn, tissue paper, or recycled fabric. Yes, if you are working on a small budget, decorating with poms is a great way to create a cheerful, dreamlike ambiance, fitting for a wedding.
Pompoms come in many sizes - from small bursts of colors to large balls of fluffy radiance; you can make them as little or as big as you like. Poms can be sewn into a string to make a garland of puffs, seemingly floating in the air. They can also adorn the banquet table as centerpieces and prettify each place setting.
The trims can be cut in various degrees of slantness to replicate different blooms. Of course, you can choose from a wide variety of shades to match your motif. Some couples choose to fill the place with a rainbow of happy poms while in some weddings, you can see lovely clusters of poms of the same hue like giant hydrangeas suspended in the air.

I love this idea of decorating an entire wall with large poms and pinwheels in assorted colors and patterns to create a quirky, gleeful backdrop for wedding photos. So fun and pretty:)
