When it comes to wedding décor, the most memorable touches often come from creativity — not cost. At the Historic Hampton House 1908, we’ve seen couples transform our timeless spaces with unexpected details that feel modern, fresh, and beautifully personal. Whether you’re planning a grand affair or an intimate celebration, these décor ideas will add charm and character to your big day — without breaking the bank.

1. Citrus with a Twist 🍊

Forget pricey floral arrangements — piles of grapefruit, oranges, and lemons make stunning, vibrant centerpieces that bring color and life to your tablescape. Stack them in elegant glass jars, vintage bowls, or wooden trays for a natural pop of color that feels both rustic and refined.

Want to take it a step further? Add dried citrus slices — the kind used in craft cocktails — and surround them with fairy lights for a soft, romantic glow that feels effortlessly chic.

2. Orange Rocks & Earthy Elements 🪨

Looking for something modern and unique? Incorporate orange-hued rocks or mineral pieces into your tablescapes or ceremony décor. They pair beautifully with natural greenery, bold flowers, and gold accents — plus, they reflect candlelight in the most gorgeous way.

Not only are they eye-catching, but they’re also reusable and environmentally friendly — a win-win for sustainable celebrations.

3. The Power of Faux Florals 🌸

Gone are the days when fake flowers looked, well, fake. High-quality faux blooms now look and feel so real that most guests won’t even notice the difference. They’re budget-conscious, last forever, and are perfect for early setups or outdoor events where real flowers may wilt.

Mix them with dried flowers or greenery to create texture and depth — and your arrangements will look effortlessly timeless.

4. Glowing Ambiance with Fairy Lights ✨

There’s no such thing as too much sparkle. Fairy lights can transform any space into a warm, whimsical wonderland — wrap them around greenery, place them next to candles, drape them over tables, or weave them through citrus displays for an enchanting glow.

Pro tip: Add them behind sheer drapes or along historic stair railings for a dreamy, photo-worthy effect.

5. Dried Florals with a Modern Twist 🌾

Dried flowers have made a major comeback — and for good reason. They’re sustainable, budget-friendly, and effortlessly romantic. From pampas grass to preserved roses, these soft, muted tones pair beautifully with both modern and vintage settings.

At the Hampton House, they look especially stunning against our neutral walls and wood accents — perfect for couples who love a boho or timeless aesthetic.

Timeless Elegance, Endless Creativity

Your wedding décor should feel like you — personal, beautiful, and full of heart. Whether it’s citrus accents, dried blooms, or twinkling lights, small details can make a big statement. At the Historic Hampton House 1908, every couple has the freedom to bring their vision to life in a space that celebrates creativity and charm.
