BRONZE BUDGET BRIDE

Using Potted Plant Centerpieces is such a beautiful way to Go Green for your wedding. They won't die and your guests can take them home once the reception is over. I think this is such a cool idea and very budget friendly too.

I love books and after seeing these centerpieces with books at the forefront, I have to admit, I love them even more. These book centerpieces are beautiful and affordable too because you can find books for $1.00 or less at thrift shops, dollars stores, Good Will, Salvation Army, yard sales etc.

Look at these Chandeliers beautifully dressed with flowers. They make such a statement and even a budget bride can afford to have them as part of their wedding decor because you can find Chandeliers here for as little as $19.99!

If you are having a wedding this holiday season, these centerpieces would be great for your dinner table and as wedding centerpieces. They are simple and affordable. Almost all the supplies can be found at a dollar store near you.

I love these centerpieces and thought I'd share them with you as inspiration but mainly as eye candy.

Enjoy!

I posted this photo on Facebook recently and quite a few people were questioning the budget it takes to pull off the amazing look of this Winter Wonderland Wedding reception. I did my best and found most of the items you see in the photo at prices that I think are affordable. 

Since Orchids are expensive...even fake ones are $6 - $8 a stem, I added the link to some very affordable white roses instead and also to a unique flower that says WINTER!

I hope this helps many of you recreate a similar look for your Winter Wonderland Wedding.

The first photo shows two vases you can find here at William-Sonoma.com starting at $58.00 dollars while the ones below, which is almost identical, were made in 15 minutes for only $3.00.



It's true. These hurricane vases cost only $3.00 to make using items from Dollar Tree and you can find the instructions here on how to make them for yourself at www.320SycamoreBlog.com! I love projects like this one because the result is an expensive look for less.

These centerpieces would look so beautiful at a Fall wedding and I would surround them with even more candles for dramatic, "wow" effect.

Who knew Pumpkins could look this amazing with some lace, ribbon, paint , jewels and lots of creativity. They would be perfect table accents at an elegant Fall Wedding or dinner! This is more proof that when you think outside of the box you can take the ordinary and turn it into something extraordinary!
