Wedding Centerpieces on a Budget

Are you trying to cut costs on your wedding? I think there are a lot of DIY wedding projects that can save you a ton of money. Some of the prettiest centerpieces on from a DIY project that costs so little in contrast to some of the extravagant and expensive centerpieces I've seen. Here are some ideas: You can go to a dollar store or see if friends have some extra vases, collect some rocks, fill the centerpieces with stones. Or, you can add some collar and use fruit, like lemons, limes, oranges. In addition, pick some wild flowers, or grab an inexpensive bouquet at a local market or grocery store, add in a few flowers. Candles are rather cheap, especially votive and go A LONG way in décor and creating a romantic ambience. A lot of candlelight can make any room look beautiful, elegant and add a special touch to any ceremony or reception.

What about some décor for your reception? You can find all different type of birdcages and mason jars just about at any resale shop or thrift store. You can take mason jars and fill them with flowers, or simply put a small votive candle inside and either hang from a tree(for an outdoor wedding) or place on tables. You can add water and put one daisy or flower of your choice. The idea here is to create a beautiful yet simple touch for your wedding within a budget and not break the bank. Maybe you have a favorite flower, or specific color. I love the way a birdcage is simple and can be placed on the table with a candle inside for simple elegance. That's all you need.

I know some people feel vases are costly, but really, depending on your size of wedding, just a couple per table, with water and a floating candle, lit of course, can be a beautiful and affordable centerpiece.
