This blog post will explain how to hang wedding decorations without nails and give you a few great options to make your wedding decor look stunning!

    4. 4. Use fishing line or clear tape

    6. 6. Use Velcro Strips
    7. 7. Use Balloon Weights
    8. 8. Use Gravity Defying Decorations
    9. Final Thoughts

    1. Use Adhesive Hooks or Command Strips

    Adhesive hooks or command strips are great for hanging banners, garlands, and other lightweight decorations without nails or screws.

    You can find these at most hardware stores or online. Simply adhere the hook or command strip to the wall, and then hang your decorations from them. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully, so you don’t damage the walls. And if you’re using adhesive hooks, make sure they can support the weight of your decorations.

    2. Use Washi Tape or Painter’s Tape

    If you’re looking for a quick way to hang decorations, washi tape or painter’s tape are both great options. They won’t damage the walls and can be easily removed after your wedding. Just be sure to use enough tape, so your decorations don’t fall during the ceremony or reception.

    3. Use putty or Blu Tack

    If you don’t have any Command strips on hand, putty or Blu Tack can be used as a substitute for hanging wedding decorations without nails.

    Apply a small amount of putty to the back of your decoration, and then press it firmly into place on the wall.

    Unlike usual tape (if not appropriately removed), putty will not leave any residue behind and can be easily removed after the wedding. Just be sure to test a small piece in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn’t damage the paint or wallpaper.

    4. Use fishing line or clear tape

    For heavier decorations like fabric swags or greenery garlands, fishing lines or clear packing tape are both excellent options.

    A fishing line is almost invisible once it’s in place, making it ideal for suspending decorations from the ceiling.

    Clear packing tape is also nearly invisible and can be used to secure decorations to walls or windows. Just be sure not to use too much tape, so it doesn’t damage the surface underneath when it’s time to remove it.

    5. Use Curtain Rods

    Curtain rods can be used to hang curtains, banners, and other fabric decorations. To do this, attach the fabric to the rod with pins or clips. Then, use Command strips or adhesive hooks to attach the rod to the wall.

    6. Use Velcro Strips

    Velcro strips are yet another option for hanging wedding decorations without nails. Apply a strip of Velcro to both the back of your decoration and the wall, and then press them together firmly. The Velcro will hold the decoration in place until you remove it.

    7. Use Balloon Weights

    Balloon weights are a great way to keep balloons from floating away. They come in various colors and sizes, so you can find ones that match your wedding theme. Just tie them around the base of the balloon and then Attach them to something sturdy like a chair leg or table leg with string or ribbon.

    8. Use Gravity Defying Decorations

    Some decorations defy gravity and don’t need anything else to stay in place. Confetti cannons, foil balloons, and tissue paper pom poms are all great examples of these types of decorations.

    Final Thoughts

    With these tips in mind, you can hang your wedding decorations without worrying about nails or damage to the venue. Choose the method that best suits your needs and start making your wedding day vision a reality!
