Centerpieces

We have found some fabulous centerpieces that wont cost you a fortune!


You can pick these vases up at Dollar Tree for $1.00 each, that's right one buck! The flowers you can at Afloral.com depending on which ones you pick can range between $1.00-$5.00. Total Centerpiece cost $2.00 - $7.00 per table!


Another great idea for these vases is go to a scrapbook store and buy the 12X12 paper pick a pretty design, also buy some double sided sticky tape. Wrap the paper completely around the vase (so you can't see the glass) then put a candle inside and it will create a beautiful glow, here is a different version~


The vase is $1.00 and then the different types of ribbons which are pretty cheap. Depending on where you shop it would run you between $5.00-$8.00 a piece.

Know a wine drinker, here is a great idea for those wine bottles ~

If you can round of the empty bottles from family and friends all it's going to cost you is spray paint and the flowers. Cheap! Great thing is you can personalize these to match your colors; I have also seen them where the bride put their Last Name Initial painted on it- it adds just that little extra!


Very inexpensive, however very elegant. All you need to do this is a pillar candle, ribbon and some pretty gems and a little hot glue. You can pick the candles up at Walmart for about $1.00 each and the ribbon and crystals are cheap! How pretty. You would probably be less then $2.00 a piece!

Just a few ideas we thought you might like. Great ways to cut back on costs!

Splurge

Are you planning your wedding on a budget? Want to know when to splurge….

1.) PHOTOGRAPHY!! I cannot stress this enough! 10 years from now when you and your husband are reminiscing about your wedding day you are not going to remember what your favors were to the guests. You are going to pull out your wedding album and look through the pictures! You want to spend the money on a photography that is going to capture the day for you! Make sure you look at the photographers portfolio, and remember whatever they have in their portfolio is their best work. If you aren’t impressed with their portfolio thank them for their time and find one you like! Also with your photographer make sure they have a list of pictures you absolutely want.

2.) YOU!! I know you might think it’s crazy to spend a lot on your dress, make up, shoes hair, etc but everyone is looking at the Bride! You are getting married, you deserve to look exactly the way you want. Yes I know it’s a dress you are only going to wear once but SPLURGE on it!!

3.) Your Officiant! Make sure that he/she is on the same page as you. Do not let them control how your ceremony goes. If there are parts that you don’t like tell them. You have to be open and honest with them and if you do not have the same beliefs as them, then find someone you feel knows how you want your ceremony to go.


Brides- Make sure in the wedding process you have a clear picture of what you want your day to be like, and do not be afraid to tell your vendors!
