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.

Re-create This Winter Wonderland Reception On A Budget

By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
Winter Wonderland.jpg

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.

Hurricane Glass Centerpiece for $3.00.jpg

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.
