Reception Decorations

So I want to go with a Country chic wedding... light pink dresses, cowboy boots... you get the drift. I am having a hard time thinking of centerpieces that does not consist of budget killing flowers. Any ideas or tips would be great!

I don't know about centerpieces, but keep in mind that if you're mandating that your bridesmaids wear cowboy boots, you have to pay for them.

Baby's Breath in some tall clear vases with candles around them? idk. I think centerpieces are one of those things that can be cut out entirely if you can't afford flowers. Does any guest reallyyyy care about them?

Sunflowers in metal water pitcher?

flowers in tin cans

Mason jars  ( I do not like the lemons, but you get the idea)

Have you Googled? "Country" weddings are a pretty popular thing right now, and there are hundreds of options. And ditto Vic on the cowboy boots. You need to buy them for your bridesmaids if you want them to wear them and they don't already own some.

What kind of tables? Flower boxes on long rectangular tables may look cool. You could plant country-ish flowers, or just get a liner, some chicken wire or floral tape, and fill it with water and put in cut flowers. You don't have to buy the flowers from a florist, btw. Most grocery stores do flowers, or you could even buy them from their case. Daisies and hydrangeas are kind of country, and easy to find.
