With the high cost of weddings, we all appreciate tips on
saving money. Decorating your wedding can become very costly if
you don't do your research and centerpieces are often the most
expensive thing next to flowers. They get expensive because you
often have to buy them for twenty or more tables. Well here are
some materials that will make beautiful centerpieces and save you
money.
1.
Plastic Punch Bowls
These come in all different designs and some are even designed
like crystal punch bowls. I just bought a beautiful one from the
local 99 cent store with etched frosted flowers.
You can
decorate this so many ways. Place it on the table with your
favorite faux flowers or glue flowers all around the edge and on
the bottom and place it upside down on the table. You can
decorate it with doves, tulle, a mini bride and groom, etc. The
possibilities are endless.
2.
Papier Mache Boxes
These boxes come in all different shapes, from hearts, to
mailboxes. Get your favorite shape and use paint, flowers,
tulle, etc to decorate it the way you like. You can even cover
the boxes with sand and paint them to give them texture.
3.
Unfinished Clocks
Clocks are fun because you can make up great poems about time
and love and place it on the table with the clock. Decorate
these unfinished clocks any way you like. Use a wood finish or
paint and glue on tulle, flowers, etc.
4.
Clay Flower Pots
his is another great canvas for your centerpiece. The things
you can decorate these pots with are only limited by your
imagination. Some ideas include potpourri, little polaroids,
string pearls, lace, etc.
5.
Wood Pieces
You can find wood shapes to make anything you want. For
example you can have black table cloths with painted wooden
stars taped to the table, for a night among the stars. You could
even use glow in the dark paint for a romantic dance. Or you can
make a large wooden flower from a large wooden circle and
teardrop wooden pieces and set it up in the center of the table.
6.
Pillar Candles, or any candles
Candles are very cheap. Decorate a pillar candle with
rhinestones and string pearls or your favorite lace and drape
tulle around it on your table and you have a wedding centerpiece.
You can also take different size votive holders and decorate them
and place them on the table.
7.
Florists Foam Forms
You can find them in many different shapes. Stick flowers in
them or decorate them any way you like. Stick them in the center
of the table and you have a nice understated centerpiece.
Good Luck and have fun planning your wedding!
