A great idea for wedding centerpieces is to use candles. Just arrange some decorative candles in varying height and a pleasing color palette together, group them in clusters on a small tray and decorate the tray by tying a satin ribbon around its edge and filling it up with glass pebbles or polished stones. My friend tried this idea on her wedding by using orange and yellow colored striped candles on a transparent tray filled with decorative pebbles.
Looking for homemade wedding centerpiece ideas? You can use floating candles and place it inside a goldfish bowl filled with colored water. Then you can add a few glass beads, seashells or flower petals inside the goldfish bowl for a sensational look. Another good inexpensive wedding centerpiece idea revolving around candles is to place floating candles or tea light candles inside a wine glass and tie a colorful satin ribbon on its stem. Avoid using scented candles during the wedding reception as this could not go with the food and wine served.
Just because flowers are expensive does not mean that you cannot have flowers as centerpieces. But when you are looking for wedding centerpieces on a budget, you need to choose inexpensive and garden variety flowers like beautiful fresh Gerbera daisies, rosea and chrysanthemums. They can be clustered together in old pickle jars or biscuit and tea tins that has been washed and dried. For a more homely but pretty look just place some mauve and pink rose blooms inside a sugar bowl for a very stunning effect.
If you like simple wedding centerpieces and are a fan of minimalism then just purchase some hardy but exotic blooms like calla lilies, birds of paradise and anthuriums and place just two or three blooms in a long antique vase. Another trick to make inexpensive blooms look classy is to purchase some square long glass tumblers, fill it with water and submerge a single bloom in each tumblers. When such bloom filled tumblers are placed strategically in the reception hall, it can look more beautiful than any huge centerpiece.
Who said that you can only stick to flowers for making a wedding centerpiece on a budget. Take full advantage of fresh fruits and vegetables to make unique wedding table centerpieces for less. The trick here is to find the perfect fruit or vegetable that is not only aesthetically appealing but also mix and match the color of the fruits and vegetables. One very good idea is to purchase a couple of dozens of limes and pears and place them in a glass bowl or a terracotta bowl, along with white roses. You can also use vegetables like artichokes and asparagus to create centerpieces.
