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!

It's Fall and there are pumpkins everywhere!! I never thought of using pumpkins as a "vase" but I've come acrossed so many centerpieces using pumpkins as flower holders that I had to share them with you and hope that they'll inspire you as you plan your Fall wedding!!

I know there are many Bronze Budget Brides who are using clear glass vases from the dollar stores for their centerpieces and I think that these vase wraps are a uniquely wonderful way to dress them up a bit! They are sold for four dollars and they come in Ivory, White, Hot Pink, Celery, Purple and Lavender. I know it may not be the cheapest way to dress your vases but it certainly is a different way to give them some color.

Visit Surroundings right now to see the Ivory Organza Wrap in action and please let me know what you think!

Baby's Breath is usually used in floral arrangements as a filler but they are beautiful all on their own . The photos on this page display that beauty and you can make these arrangements yourself quite easily using flowers from FiftyFlowers.com, your local florist or find them growing wild this time of the year. Just look how stunning each centerpiece is and they are inexpensive too, so Baby's Breath definitely could be the perfect option for you!

I am in the process of creating my own crystal trees for my centerpieces.  I found the branches quite cheap; 12 of the 30" branches for $139 and that includes shipping!  I found them at www.bloomsandbranches.com. 

Then I was looking for the crystal beads and found nothing but that they were expensive, expensive, expensive.  Since I have a big wedding (200 people), I need at least 12 tables of the high centerpieces.  I found a 50 yard spool of acrylic crystals for $49.99 at shopwildthings.com.
