Inexpensive Wedding Centerpieces
Centerpieces add a touch of beauty and glamour to the reception. They help set the tone for your reception and can be conversation starters and double as centerpieces and favors.
Today’s cost conscience brides are hip to the idea of having a magnificent centerpiece without spending a fortune. If you are making your own centerpieces I recommend that you purchase all the items that you will need to make one centerpiece and practice putting it together several months in advance of your wedding. This will give you the opportunity to determine how long it will take to assemble, the actual cost of all the needed items, whether it will be easily transportable and if it is exactly what you had in mind.
A fall theme wedding lends itself to using nature’s display of vibrant oranges, yellows, browns and maroons. This display was created using one candle, leaves from a park and a few small votive candles surrounding the center candle.
It’s cold outside but you want your reception room to be warm and inviting. Who doesn’t love the aroma of crisp pine trees? Go for a walk in the woods and cut pine branches, spread them out in the center of your table and scatter pinecones, acorns and artificial snow. To dress up this centerpiece you can add a few votive candles or one large candle in the center of the arrangement. Create your own winter scene by purchasing a clear large bowl, place batting in the bottom of the bowl and then place a mirror on top of the batting and create a winter scene by putting a snowman candle on top of the mirror or choose figurines to create the winter scene that coordinates with your overall wedding theme.
The cold, dreary short winter days have passed and now natures and your new life as a couple are beginning. I’m thinking, soft pastels and lots of fresh flowers. Purchase an inexpensive vase at a dollar or craft store and fill the vase with flowers from your garden, a wholesale florist or the supermarket. To further enhance your inexpensive wedding centerpieces, place your vase on a lace doily or scatter colored glass chips, purchased at the dollar store, around the base of your vase.
Here we are, the hottest time of the year and your goal is to remain cool and carefree. So what says summer more than, Lily of the Valley flowers, which can be placed in short thin vases of different heights to create a soft, inexpensive table arrangement? If your wedding is around the 4th of July, consider placing a large sunflower in a vase and then add three small flags around the sunflower. This centerpiece says, "cute and sassy."
Purchase a tall clear vase and place pine cones gathered from your backyard or park in the base and then fill the top with berry branches.
