Budget Your Centerpiece

Brides are trying to save money any way they can.  Try creating your own centerpieces.  Gather your bridal party (men can do this too) and lets have a fun day of creating.  My advice, don’t pour the drinks until after they are done.

Candles are usually less expensive than flowers depending on how many you use.  They are easy to find and definitely cheaper if purchased in bulk.  If you only use a few, give the illusion of more by using mirrors, different heights, or floating them in water with a few flowers.

 

The cost of flowers can add up quickly.  In order to get more for your buck, talk to your florist about the flowers that are in season.  These will be less expensive than those that are out of season.  Next, think about filler flowers or carnations.  If they are put together right they can make a nice centerpiece.  Lastly, consider submerging long stemmed flowers.  You can get by with one or two stems and if you pair them with candles you have a nice arrangement.

Believe it or not Grass can serve its purpose besides looking pretty in the front & back of your home.  

Now that you have some useful ideas, Get Inspired!
