Wedding Centerpiece

Today everyone is looking to save money where ever possible. Well, if you are getting married there are many ways to save a dollar here and there but butting out stuff from your big day is not always the answer. For example look at the centerpieces. Don’t leave them out of the budget completely, just dress up your tables for less. There are a few ways to save on centerpieces and still look great.
The first thing to do is rent. Renting silk arrangements is the most cost effective way to go. Yes, bouquets can be rented, container and all. It was very popular for a while to rent flowers for the entire wedding so just doing the centerpieces isn’t that strange. You can save a lot of money and not worry about the flowers dying before the reception. If you still want real flowers on the table you can rent the container. Instead of having 20 glass globe bowls after your wedding pay a discounted rate, let your guests take home the flowers and the florist take back the bowls. It does not matter if you rent the entire centerpiece or just the container it is quickest and easiest way to save money.
Another way to save on centerpieces is to go simple. Simple is very in-style today. A large vase with several of one type of flower in it is a common thing to see and it looks great. Use this to your advantage. Take a large vase on the head table with ten large sunflowers coming out of it and a simple yellow bow on it. Then at all the other tables have a small single bud vase. Put a single stem of yellow daisies, which will have two to four flowers on it in the vase. This will give you great color throughout the hall without spending too much. To save even more money rent the vases and buy the flowers loose. You might want the florist to arrange the big vase so that it shows well but the other flowers can be done on your own. Have someone involved in the wedding clip the stems and fill all the table vases for you. Just ask your local florist for a flower that will match your color scheme and any special instructions if you are going to do them yourself.
