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 don’t 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.
Now that you know how you will accomplish making your own, well getting help *cough cough.* Let’s go over some of the do it yourself, crafty centerpiece ideas you need.
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 they’ve 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.
If you are really looking to cut the budget then why not completely do away with the centerpiece? Okay so you can’t just not have one, but why not put something there that may be somewhere else, like refreshments or desserts. I’ve seen couples who have put tiered platters in the center and then filled it with mini sandwiches or little bite size treats.
Another of many inexpensive centerpiece ideas would be mason jars. Yup use mason jars instead of vases, but don’t just use the mason jar, class it up a bit. Vases are beautiful but can be a huge dent on you budget, but you can purchase boxes of mason jars for a fraction of the cost and then wrap them in tissue paper and fill them up. You can put flowers in them or get more creative with sand and a little shovel.
I hope these centerpiece ideas have helped you in cutting down that monstrous wedding budget of yours and congratulations on the upcoming nuptials.
