The time honored tradition of flowers as a centerpiece can be made for a fraction of a florist’s price by using flowers from your own garden or around the house. Dried flowers are also an inexpensive alternative, especially in the fall and winter months. Potted plants can often be found at a garden shop or nursery and are less expensive than a florist.
Another example of fun cheap wedding centerpieces is a balloon bouquet. This budget savvy choice can also be given to children attending the wedding before they leave. For a more elegant and formal look consider candles. Even a single votive candle in an inexpensive glass lantern adds a flare of sophistication.
For a reception after a beach wedding, sea shells are a great option for a centerpiece. Either as stand alone items, or with additional accouterments. Consider jars with sand and sea shells in them. These can be combined with candles or flowers. A sprig of sea oats captures the nature of the sea.
A candy dish with individually wrapped chocolates or candies can be used as a centerpiece that will also please your guests with a sweet tooth. Even small chocolates from an inexpensive retailer can look charming.
You don’t have to look far to find inexpensive alternatives to pricey centerpieces. Even everyday items can be aesthetically pleasing and elegant. With this information and an inventive attitude and a willingness to explore various options will lead to smart and attractive wedding centerpieces on a budget.
