I just wanted to ask everyone how much they are spending on flowers and table linens and docorations.  I am paying for all of this myself so I am on a tighter budget for these items.  How much did you spend on flowers and decorations.  If any good places around st. louis and fairview heights area please let me know!
Thank You!

    My reception linens come with the venue, but as far as centerpieces, I think I bought everything I need for about $75. I got vases at a dollar store, bought petals online, and am using candles from a friend's wedding...can definitely do it pretty inexpensively!

    They always run stuff on sale. I just got a bunch of wedding stuff for 50% off.

    I bought 20 vases at Dollar Tree, 20 white pillar candles at Dollar Tree, 6 pkgs of votives at Hobby Lobby (using 40% off they were less than $3 per pkg of 12), and I am getting rose petals from the person doing our flowers.  I don't want a lot of flowers, so all together it will cost me less than $75 for 20 tables.  I also bought some damask packaging tape to decorate my vases and votive holders if I want.

    My linens are provided by the reception venue.

    <div>This exactly.  No one cares if you have colored linens.  Really.  Find something unique to use for centerpieces on sale at HL and go for it.</div>
