BRONZE BUDGET BRIDE

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!

If you are having a beach wedding, here are some beautiful Beach Wedding Centerpieces that you can easily make yourself!

This Eight (8) Cup Candle Holder with Vase is perfect if you want your centerpieces to make an impact! You can find floating candles at your local dollar store and faux flowers to pull together a stunning look for under $20! Of course, you're not limited to using candles and flowers...you can add luster rocks, gems, crystals or even veggies like you see in the photo below.



Find this votive candle holder here at The Lakeside Collection for only $15.95 while supplies last!

I nearly screamed when I saw these vases at Dollar Tree because with these colored vases small budget brides can take their centerpieces even one step closer to platinum beauty with their wedding decor. Just imagine for a second if your wedding colors were yellow and blue. A yellow floral arrangement in a blue vase would be so gorgeous...just look at the one I posted below!

So now do you understand why I am so excited that they are available for only $1.00? I am equally excited about the fact that you can find them online here at DollarTree.com but also here at Deals online store too!





If you are interesting in buying some you should do so as soon as possible because I've noticed the purple vases are already sold out, so quantities may be limited!!

Do you see the lights in the amazing centerpieces above that were created by the genius Preston Bailey! Well, after taking a closer look at the photo, I realized that they are the LED Ice Cubes that I've seen here on Save-on-Crafts on numerous occasions. They are waterproof but don't freeze them if you want to use them in drinks. They have a gel that works to keep liquids cool and it doesn't take much to turn them on! Once they are turned on, they can last up to 12 hours or more.



I've never thought of using LED Ice Cubes in my centerpieces  but I have to admit, that now that I've seen how beautiful they can look...I am thinking about how I can incorporate them in my reception decor.



They start at around $1.59 each and you can get them in a variety of colors including red, pink, green, blue, pink, white, amber and purple!

These centerpieces are small but pack a punch! Each one can be made for less than $5.00 and one can easily stand alone if your budget is really small. Remember, you can always choose to be as creative as you wish and use the image as inspiration! You can find the glass bowls and silk flowers at your local Dollar Tree.

To make one of the centerpieces you'll simple add some acrylic crystals to the bottom of your glass bowl and at the center, add the heads of two roses with stemmed ends facing each other. That's it!

Small Round Glass Bowl - $1.00

7 Faux Stem Roses in Many Colors - $1.00


300 Pcs. of Acrylic Ice Crystals - $14.99
