Weddings are getting ridiculously expensive these days. It is so easy to go overboard on simple things like flowers for the wedding and reception. My cousin spent about four thousand dollars on flowers alone!!! Have you ever considered making your own centerpieces?There are many benefits. One is that you will get exactly what you want, tailored to your personal taste. It is also a great option for a bride on a budget. I know it may seem like a daunting task, and it is time consuming, but it will pay off in the long run.
There are a lot of companies out there that can help with this project. You can go to stores like AC Moore, Micheals craft store, or even online stores that you can order in bulk from, such as Oriental Trading Post. These places offer vases, candles, rose petals, silk flowers, etc. There is something there for any type of centerpiece you can dream up.
How about a topiary? It is great for a budget and pretty much fool proof. Another awesome and unique centerpiece design that I have seen, and is also friendly for your wallet, is putting a beta fish in a bowl on your tables with a small plant inside. The beta fish come in many colors, and your guests will love watching them.
