Ideas for Inexpensive Centerpieces
The following paragraphs summarize the work of wedding experts
who are completely familiar with all the aspects of weddings.
Heed their advice to avoid any wedding surprises.
Traditional floral centerpieces can be expensive especially if
you plan on having a large number of tables at the wedding
reception. While floral arrangements have traditionally been the
centerpiece of choice at many weddings there are many more
original centerpiece ideas that are also very inexpensive.
Depending on the theme and color scheme of the wedding, there
are a variety of low cost options available.
A wedding with a light-hearted theme hosted by a fun loving
couple might be a suitable opportunity to utilize candy to
create festive centerpieces. Clear glass bowls can be filled
with colorful candies such as jelly beans or M & Ms to create a
lovely and very inexpensive centerpiece that reflects the
personalities of the bride and groom. The candy and bowls can
probably be purchased for a fraction of the price of floral
centerpieces and create a lovely centerpiece that is easily
assembled and can be enjoyed by all of the guests.
The bride and groom can also opt for silk floral arrangements if
they are intent on having flowers as their centerpiece. Many
hobby stores sell a wide variety of attractive artificial
flowers that can be arranged by the bride and groom to create
attractive centerpieces for the tables. Using fake flowers gives
the couple more of an opportunity to express their creativity.
The hobby store also likely sells inexpensive vases so the
couple may be able to purchase everything they need for the
centerpieces in one location. Arranging the flowers in a vase is
nice but long stemmed flowers such as calla lilies also look
very attractive tied with twine or ribbon and simply laid in the
center of the table. The couple could either choose seasonal
artificial flowers or artificial flowers that fit the theme of
the wedding and arrange them in inexpensive vases or tie them
with attractive ribbons to create inexpensive centerpieces for
their wedding.
Another inexpensive option for a couple wishing to utilize
flowers for their centerpieces is to use potted plants. You can
find a multitude of inexpensive potted plants at home
improvement stores, greenhouses, and even grocery stores. The
couple can choose plants that match the other decorations for
the wedding or that will stand out amongst the other
decorations. These plants could be repotted into festive pots to
create attractive centerpieces for a relatively low cost.
It's really a good idea to probe a little deeper into the
subject of weddings. What you learn may give you the confidence
you need to venture into new areas.
Balloons can be another option for a couple looking to have fun
yet inexpensive centerpieces. Balloons are relatively
inexpensive and can be easily found in a wide variety of colors
and patterns. The couple could choose solid or print patterns
that match the colors of the table linens. An extra tip for
these centerpieces is to weigh down the balloons with a piece of
candy. This will encourage each guest at the table to take home
a balloon as a souvenir. With a typical centerpiece only one
guest has the opportunity to take home the centerpiece but using
balloons makes it possible for each guest to take home a part of
the centerpiece.
Another inexpensive wedding table centerpiece is a picture frame
in the shape of cube that allows the insertion of a photo into
each side of the cube. The couple may choose to include pictures
of themselves during their courting or they may wish to include
pictures of them with the guests who will be sitting at that
table. This is a great opportunity for the couple to express
their individuality and share a little bit of themselves with
their guests. Artfully arranged photographs create fun
centerpieces that are also very inexpensive.
Candles also create a very attractive yet inexpensive
centerpiece. The couple may choose to purchase many of the same
candle or candles of varying shapes, sizes and colors to arrange
on the tables. Candles of the same size, shape and color can be
arranged in a uniform pattern to create a beautiful centerpiece.
Candles that vary in size, shape and color can be placed at
random on the table to create an eclectic appeal.
With a little bit of thought and creativity a couple can find
centerpiece options that are affordable, attractive and well
suited for the couple. The traditional centerpieces of floral
arrangements can be boring and also extremely expensive.
Utilizing creativity and ingenuity to create centerpieces that
are an accurate representation of the taste of the couple often
creates a more appealing centerpiece at a very affordable price.
