When you’re planning a wedding—whether you’re a bride-to-be, an engaged couple navigating the details, or even a wedding venue owner like me—it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the must-have list. The truth is, some items aren’t just “nice to have”—they're game changers and make life so much easier.
As the owner of Celestial Farms, a modern barn wedding venue in Clio, Michigan, I’ve learned a thing or two about what truly makes a wedding run smoothly and perfectly. From décor to logistics to creating magical moments, Amazon is one of my favorite go-to sources for brides, business owners and wedding venue owners like myself.
Today, I’m breaking down my Amazon must haves for weddings into three main categories:
Amazon Must Haves for Brides and Engaged Couples
Amazon Must Haves for Wedding Venue Owners and Businesses
Amazon Must Haves for Everyone (Couples, Guests, and Hosts)
Whether you’re building your bridal Amazon wish list, prepping your locally owned wedding venue, or just a homeowner, these are my tried-and-true favorites.
Amazon Must Haves for Brides and Engaged Couples
When you’re preparing for your dream wedding, Amazon is a treasure chest of affordable, stylish, and practical wedding items that make planning so much easier.
Wedding Décor | Amazon Must Haves for Brides
Wedding décor sets the tone for your big day. And you don’t have to spend a fortune to bring your vision to life—Amazon has décor pieces that look high-end, are reusable, and can be customized to your own wedding vibe.
LED Neon Signs – Phrases like “Better Together” and “Let’s Party” instantly transform a backdrop or sweetheart table. Looking for a custom made sign? THIS custom ONE was amazing for us. It's multi-color option including warm white, multiple settings and dimmer switch make it perfect for our Podcast on YouTube and for decor in our food service room.
Flameless Candles & Taper Holders – Since Celestial Farms is a flameless only wedding venue, I can’t emphasize enough how far flameless technology has come. These flameless floating candles look stunning in our trio vases. And these pillar candles are gorgeous. No wax drips, no fire hazard.
Clear Umbrellas – A lifesaver if your wedding venue doesn’t have a backup rain plan. Even though we have a covered option at Celestial Farms ion Clio, Michigan, we still stock clear umbrellas for couples who want their outdoor ceremony no matter what. They make for gorgeous rainy-day wedding photos too!
Artificial Flowers, Vines & Green Velvet Table Runners – Perfect for layering onto arches, head tables, or cake displays and extremely versatile.
Vintage Photo Frames & Easels – We loved these ornate gold frames. They can be used for welcome signs, memorial photos like we did at this staged photo shoot, or table numbers. And these Easels are used at almost every single wedding we host year round.
Glass Bud Vases & Cake Plates – Simple, elegant ways to highlight floral or dessert details and an affordable rental at Celestial Farms. These bud vases are perfect!
Balloon Garlands & Drapery Kits – Affordable backdrops for photo booths or entryways.
Ring Light for the Bridal Suite – A makeup and photography essential. Every bride deserves perfect lighting for those getting-ready moments in our beautiful dressing suites.
Brides—build an Amazon wedding wish list and share it with your wedding party. It’s a smart way to get décor, accessories, and even content tools gifted ahead of your big day.

If you’re a wedding venue owner like me—or even a wedding vendor—Amazon is your secret weapon for keeping events running smoothly while protecting your property and maintaining the dignity of your brand. These business-focused items have saved me time, money, and stress at Celestial Farms in Clio, Michigan
The right signage keeps wedding guests informed and prevents headaches. Amazon has customizable, professional options for every scenario:
No Smoking / Designated Smoking Area Signs
Push & Pull Door Stickers
Staff Only / Employees Only / Restroom with Braille
Please Do Not Flush (for sensitive septic systems!)
Keep Off Landscaping Signs
Magnetic Signs & Personalized Metal Indoor Signs
Engraved Name Tags
Google Review Tags – A genius little tool that links guests straight to your review page.
Custom LED Sign (like ours at Celestial Farms) – Dimmable, warm white, and multicolor options that are battery or plug-in powered. It’s hands-down one of the best investments I’ve made.
Traffic Cones / No Parking Signs – Essential for directing guest parking.

Amazon Must Haves for Everyone (Couples, Guests & Hosts)
Finally, there are universal items that apply to anyone involved in a wedding or not—whether you’re a guest, a bridal party member, or simply hosting a backyard celebration.

One of my personal favorite moments of the night is a sparkler send-off. Here’s what you’ll need:
36” Sparklers – Long-lasting and dramatic for great wedding photos and videos.
Metal Buckets – Safe disposal after the send-off and tall enough to hold the sparklers.
Torch Lighters – The ONLY lighter that's gonna do the trick.
Weddings today are all about capturing the moment. These Amazon tools make content creation easy and are used by our personal Candid Content Creator- Kylee Wilson:
Mini Microphones – Perfect for recording vows or guest interviews.
Tripod with Gooseneck Stand – Stable and flexible for filming.
DJI Gimbal for Phones – Smooth video shots without hiring a pro.
Softbox Lighting Kits – Great for indoor photography.
Tapper for Audio Sync – Handy for editing multiple clips together.
