Simple Wedding Centerpieces To Make Yourself

If you want to save a few dollars by trying to make some simple wedding centerpieces yourself but would prefer to have something a little more unique than floral arrangements, here are a few ideas for you.

Take some square based vases and fill them with small stones up to a third of the height of the vase. Fill two thirds with water and use the stones at the bottom to hold up three brightly colored Gerber daisies.
Imagine a field of wild flowers and different grasses. Go hunting and pick a large assortment. Then make a cone shape from thick, dark colored paper or card that is about half the height of the flowers that you collected. Arrange the stems around the cone to conceal it. Then wrap a 1-2 inch band of string around the top of the cone and mid way up the stems. Finish off with a colored ribbon tied around the string. This would be great for a fall wedding with the yellows, oranges and browns of the straw like grasses.
Find small terracotta plant pots and plant with flowering shrubs or small rose bushes. Tie a ribbon around the pots for added elegance.
Take some goldfish bowls, fill to a third full with sand and place a candle in the center.
Find some tall square bottomed vases and fill three quarters full with water. Place limes in the water up to half way up the vase and top with three or four floating candles. Stand next to small, clear bottles holding table number signs. The bottom of these bottles should be filled to about two inches deep with coffee beans.
Create collections of 9 or 10 glass jars and vases of differing shapes for each table – at least three should be tall and the others should be of varying heights. Fill all with sand up to a third of the depth and then place different shaped and sized candles and shells on the sand.

These arrangements should help your wedding centerpieces be that little bit more unique and personal and are budget friendly too.
