- Just like everyone compares wedding decor ideas and dresses, etc., we're doing that for nurseries, baby gear, and other material aspects of having a baby, but (in my opinion) forgetting to talk about what it means to become a parent: 100% responsible for the well-being of another human for a long time.

Morphology
The meaning 'the decorations used for a wedding' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'wedding' (the event) with 'decor' (aesthetic decorations). This noun+noun compositional pattern is common in English and across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The compound noun wedding decor comes from two simple ideas: wedding (the special day) and decor (things used to make a place look beautiful). Imagine a room hung with flowers, candles and ribbons; that picture explains why wedding decor means 'the decorations and arrangements used for a wedding'.
