What is everyone doing for their centerpieces?  I was planning on having flowers at every tabel, but want to save some money.

    I bought a package of five candles from Ikea a glass plate, some crystals and then we had photos of our various trips around Italy at each table with the tables being named after those cities.

    Linens have the biggest impact on color and ambiance.  Switch up your centerpieces by incorporating different levels, or different styles.  For example, half of the tables could utilize candles, the other half flower arrangements.

    We're doing submerged orchids with floating candles. Some are in a low rectangular vase, some are a cylinder trio, and some are in a tall cylinder vase. It's nice because you can use more stones & candles and less flowers if need be.

    Weare doing differnt sized candles also, but they are in glasses we bought at Ikea. We poured the candles ourselves. We also had to have our enclosed. My inspiration is in my bio.

    We bought a bunch of cylinder vases for cheap (shopped around to find varied sizes) are are covering them in vellum and doing led tea light inside. After I plan to sell the vases, with or without the vellum sleeves. Cheap + eco friendly - what more could you ask for?
