Wedding Centerpieces on a Budget

Decorations forms an integral part of a wedding. Even if you are having a wedding on a budget, you can still have attractive decorations; the key is in making your own decorations. This will help you show your own creativity as well as help in cutting costs.

Rather than going for a ready-made centerpiece, it is better to buy some basic things and make it at home. Check these ideas.

Traditionally centerpieces were made only of flowers. Using flowers is still considered one of the best ideas for a centerpiece. Calla lily, carnations, and roses are popular options. Specially, the calla lily centerpieces look simple, yet graceful. As a quick tip, remember that if you are using simple flowers, at least make sure to use an arty and elaborate vase.

You can buy a glass or colorful low shallow bowl and fill it with water. Submerge tea lights or colorful decorative candles in water to make a centerpiece. Secondly, you can even add multicolored dye, petals, beads, etc., to the water and keep it as a table piece.

Candles of different colors, shapes, and sizes can be used to make creative centerpieces. Wine or champagne glass candles, when lit on the table, look captivating.

You can either have a couple of wine or champagne glass candles at the center of the table or simply arrange them all around the table. Secondly, having a centerpiece of pillar candles of varying sizes and colors is also a good option.
