Top 3 Wedding Centerpieces on a Budget
Finding the perfect man or woman to spend the rest of your life with is difficult enough, but choosing the best winter wedding centerpieces for the big day can prove to be even more daunting especially if you are on a shoestring budget. If you are planning on a winter themed wedding, you will need to open your mind to as many ideas for wedding centerpieces on a budget.
Here are the top 3 ideas you can explore:
Capitalize on Height
Contrary to popular knowledge, you need not have a lot of flowers to make a great centerpiece. One trick you can use is to get three to five long stemmed roses (or whichever type of flower you fancy) and place them on a tall vase. The vase should be at least 14 inches but no more than 18 inches so that guests can still see each other across the table.
Another variation of this technique is to not use flowers at all. Instead, make a placement out of green or red pillar candles of uneven lengths.
Forgo Formal Arrangements
Most of the time, centerpieces become too costly because they are too structured. You can save a ton of cash if you just allow the natural beauty of the flowers and leaves dictate the effect of the centerpiece. Aside from taking out the thorns, there is not much to do with this type of piece for each of the tables. Even the bride and groom can pull this off themselves which eliminates the need for a designated florist altogether.
Dessert Centerpieces
Since dessert is included on the menu anyway, you might want to put the treats right on the table before the reception starts. The only two things you need are clever presentation and a dessert that does not need cooling prior to service.
There are many other ideas you can toy around with when it comes to winter wedding centerpieces on a budget and you will be surprised at how much you can save through unconventional thinking.
