Tall, Inexpensive Centerpieces

ampark1

Hi ladies!We are planning on using three different centerpieces for our wedding (25-30 tables). Two will be smaller with mostly candles and minimal flowers (both DIY). For the third I would like to do a taller centerpiece to add height to the room.I contacted a florist about pricing for tall floral centerpieces because I was nervous to take this on as a DIY as well (even though I have 2 friends dedicated to helping me with DIY flowers that day), and she said they START AT $70/piece! There is no way I am paying that for 10 tables.Any ideas on wat I could do for attractive, tall centerpieces? Floral would be ideal, but obviously a pricier opion. Maybe you know of some DIY floral centerpieces that are easy and quick to put together? My colors are orange, coral and white.Any advice woud help! TIA!!!!!!!!!

I'm buying some calla lillies from Sam's Club or Costco and just putting them in tall vases with some decorative leaves.. very simple but very elegant  I think there is a pic in my bio. Much less expensive than having it professionally done!

I am using gladiolus for my tall centerpieces. pictures in bio they're only in season during the late summer though I think...

i dont know what your colors are but what about just a large round bunch of babies breath on top of an eiffel tower vase? I know I ran across a picture of it when I was looking at ideas of tall CPs (i can't find the pic now), and it looked really cute/romantic. hth

When is your wedding? A super inexpensive way to go is rent the tall vases, cut down and spray paint branches and hand crystals, etc from them. It adds height to the room and they look nice too. Or you can add some inexpensive flowers. Here are a couple pics:http://mocharosedesigns.blogspot.com/2008/01/best-of-2007.htmlhttp://www.weddingaces.com/2009/05/an-accessible-tall-centerpiece/
