Throwing a party can be expensive, and you might as well take out a second mortgage to pay for a wedding.  Don’t get me wrong, I wanted my daughter to have a day she will remember for years to come, but I didn’t want to have to “go in hock” for her to get it.  We splurged on a few things, but we cut corners in other ways.  These easy wedding centerpieces were one of the ways that we trimmed fat from the budget so we could afford a fabulous photographer.

Easy Wedding Centerpiece Supplies

• Square glass container
• Marbles or gems
• One large pick of flowers.  I used white, but you can use colors.
• Other flowers to fill in.  I chose teal flowers to match my daughter’s wedding.  They came on long stems, but I cut them to length so they would fit into the arrangement.

1. Fill your glass container with marbles, gems, pebbles, or stones.
2. Cut the long stem off of your large flower stem. You want it 2-3″ long so that it will sit in the pebbles.
3. Cut your other flowers so the stems are 3-4″ long.  Fill in around your other flowers to add color to match your wedding.
4. When the wedding is over, they are easy to pack up or you can give them away for friends and family to enjoy in their home.
