Centerpiece Ideas To Make Your Wedding Special

August 11th, 2009

Are you getting married? Have you realized just how much everything is going to cost? It can be scary, but let me help you at least cut the budget down for your wedding centerpiece, with these unique centerpiece ideas

The best way to cut the cost is to make them yourself. You could pay someone to make any of these but you will save a lot of money just doing them yourself. If you think you dont have time, then call family and friends to help. A great way to do it is buy the stuff and then have a girls day on Saturday where you feed them, or potluck it and everyone helps put the centerpieces together.

Since you now know how to achieve this by yourself, well finding help to create one on your own. We will go into some of the self-assembly, clever centerpiece ideas you have to know.

This first one is perfect for a dark set wedding. Any black, velvet red, midnight blue, or other deep color tablecloth would go fantastic with this. The best part about it is that it is extremely cheap. Just go outside and gather up anything you can find, wood, twigs, leaves, rocks, etc. Then spray them with metallic silver paint, If you can find one with glitter that would even be better. Once theyve dried you can just keep it all and arrange the stuff on the tables the day of, or you can arrange everything together and glue it.

Or, if you’re determined to save money drastically, just get rid of the centerpiece! Granted, there would be a feeling of something missing, but that can be substituted with extra food, desserts or other refreshments. Some couples have replaced their centerpieces with tiered platters containing mini sandwiches or other hors d’eouvres; these easy snacks can enhance your wedding.

Mason jars can also be an affordable centerpiece idea. Obviously you should decorate them for the wedding, but you can use them in lieu of vases. Vases, while pretty, are also pretty expensive, so just buy boxes of mason jars and save yourself a lot of money; for the wedding, wrap them in tissue paper and fill them. There are all manner of creative things you can do with them, like flowers or sand and shovels.

Hopefully, these centerpiece ideas will assist you in slashing that gargantuan wedding cost, so you can enjoy your newfound marital bliss.
