Here's a great solution for saving money on wedding
centerpieces... just don't have any! HA! Seriously, though. While some people
spend thousands on flowers for each table, other bride and grooms don't feel
that strongly about it. So, if you're looking to keep wedding costs down,
flowers can be the perfect omission.
Okay: so if you don't have flowers at your wedding, how are
you going to dress up the tables? Lots of people do a candle centerpiece
alternative. I happen to have a very talented friend who hand-paints flowers
and other designs on glass. Her name is Laura, of http://laurasglassart.com. Laura painted
a white rosebud wedding design on glass candle bowls for each of my tables, and
we filled each one with rice and a cream colored candle.
At the end of the wedding, we gave them away to anyone who was
interested. Mine is currently displayed on a shelf in my diningroom!
As an added bonus, my mother-in-law surprised us with Bride
and Groom champagne flutes and water glasses, also painted by my friend Laura. They really
added something special to the sweetheart table, and made the perfect wedding keepsake.
