I can't belief I haven't told you about Luna Bazaar before because they sell the most amazing products and the costs are budget bride friendly too. Every item is full of personality because the colors are vibrant and the painted products are so intriguing.  There, you can buy lanterns in over 30 different colors and choose from Eyelet Lanterns (which are my favorite), Cocoon Lanterns, Bamboo Cuff Lanterns and more starting at $2.00!



The collection is truly impressive and the Painted Parasols, which start at $8.95, are a sight to behold. You get a choice of Printed, Paper, Chinese, Japanese, Guilded, Square, Rice Paper, Balinese, Nylon and SAA Paper Parasols! They are truly some of the most beautiful Parasols I've ever seen and perfect for a bronze budget bride.




What I also love are the colored, decorative, medicine, glass bottles because  they would be so pretty with just one or two stems of flowers and grouped together to make a centerpiece. For a rectangular table they could be set at least six inches apart running diagonally with a candle set in between each one. 

These bottles cost $2.95 each and as you can see they come in seven different colors.



The vases that are sold at Luna Bazaar come in the same beautiful colors and are $10.00 each! Keep in mind that the more beautiful the vase is the more "awe" your centerpiece will have and even baby's breath would look great in these vases which you can get 10 bunches of for $119 at fiftyflowers.com.

                       

If you stick around Luna Bazaar long enough you'll come across these the Lotus Candle Holders which make great centerpiece all on their own. However, if you rather  something smaller, in Luna Bazaar style, you can find over 300 different types to choose from including their guilded candle holders which I find to be so incredibly beautiful.



If you are looking for beautiful, unique wedding decorations to match your wedding colors and more, go see what you can find in Luna Bazaar's online store.

These vases are fantastic even though they are not glass because they will look amazing with any floral arrangement and they're only $1.00. Do a Google search for similar vases and you will find them at least 10 times as much and I doubt guests will notice the difference. That is why I'm not hesitating to buy a few when I see them at the dollar store since I may need a few more for my reception decor. If you don't see them at your dollar store, as usual, you can find them online for $1.00 at DollarTree.com!

The table linen completes the look for me, it's more than just a cover for the tables...to me anyway. They play an important role in my decorating scheme! I want them to compliment my amazing peacock feather centerpieces so I don't want white linens but I am not about to spend half of my decorating budget on them either. One of the venues we're looking at rents plain white table linen for $8.00. Don't get me wrong, $8.00 is not a bad price, but if you can buy table linens for that price, wouldn't you rather own them than have to worry about guests ruining someone else's.

At TableLinenCloth.com you can find quality table linens, overlays, table skirts, napkins, cute napkin holders, chair covers and sashes all at amazing low prices, plus shipping is free on orders over $50! There's some good stuff on clearance in the Bargain Center too, even a white polyester chair cover with black satin sash for $2.59!

Now why rent them if you can buy them right? After the wedding is over, they are yours to sell at half the cost if you want to and put that money towards the Honeymoon that's just not in the budget right now. That's what I'm going to do because there'll be too many things that we'll have to store in our small attic.

So, if you are looking to buy affordable, quality table linens and chair covers for your reception, your next stop should be at TableLinenCloth.com! Check them out today!

At first glance this table decor may seem like something only a professional can create but with further observation you will see that this centerpiece is actually quite easy for anyone to replicate.

Here are the supplies you'll need:

SilverWood Manzanita Natural Branch 18" - 24" tall - $8.75

Instead of using the stark branches and decorating them the crystal garlands, you can choose the natural branches I've listed below that comes already decorated with faux red berries. It is a more affordable option to recreating the look for less and won't subtract from the Asian theme.

You can anchor the branches with soil and wrap the vase with decorating foil.

What makes this room shine, literally, is the purple lighting against the walls. The table decor is simple, the table cloth is probably a bit more costly. However, it is obvious the couple opted to pay for lighting the room in the purple hue and the result is simple, yet elegant and quite beautiful!
