I am really happy that I decided to do my own centerpieces. I researched and did several trials and finally came up with 2 different centerpieces that we will be using for our ivory and black wedding in October. I'm not a huge fan of flowers and found the prices the florists quoted to be more than I could justify spending. So, here is what I came up with. These will both be on black tablecloths with ivory napkins.
One is a black feather pom on top of a tall decorative candle pillar:
100 gram feather boa (Ebay) = $4.60
1 candle pillar = $15.00
5 inch styrofoam ball (Save-on-crafts) = $2.59
12 inch beveled mirror (Home depot) = $3.33
white LED floralyte (Save-on-crafts) = $2.00
water pearls
Votives
Total Cost = under $30.00 each
The other is an ivory carnation pom on top of a simple cylinder vase:
Ivory silk carnations (approx 40 per) = $20.00
Vase (Dollar Tree) = $1.00
5 inch styrofoam ball (Save-on-crafts) = $2.59
12 inch beveled mirror (Home depot) = $3.33
white LED floralyte = $2.00
water pearls
1 inch black satin ribbon
Votives
Total Cost = around $32.00 each
Is it too much, not enough...?
Thoughts, feedback, suggestions please!
Thanks!
