Getting married 2/7/09 and need ideas for reasonable centerpieces any help?

Question

our colors are black,red,and champagne.. possibly Valentine's themed...we would like candles in some way or another ... not cheap looking but staying under 15 a table???

Answer 1

Simple glass globes, filled with water and floating candles in red and champagne. It's inexpensive and very romantic looking.  

Answer 2

Mirrors (at least 6x6), 2 champagne flutes (you can get inexpensive ones for a dollar each at Dollar Tree) filled with those clear (or red) glass "marbles," tea lights. The light from the candles will reflect off of the glass marbles and into the mirror. Very romantic.

These are pretty but you can actually probably buy these at a Craft Store like Michaels for cheaper than shown here and make your own using a vase something like this:

Could cut the stems on these and put them in the heart vase for centerpieces and maybe put little hearts in there on a stick but you can buy all this stuff cheaper at the dollar store or somewhere like that.

Just giving you ideas and then you can buy little candles and candle holders to sit in front of the flower arrangements on the tables.

Answer 4

Champagne table cloths, tall clear vases filled with apples, with ribbon tie of either black or black/champagne checkered ribbon.  Red glass orbs scattered around the base of each vase.  4 red candle holders for tea lights around each vase.

Answer 5

I am using pictures, votive candles, and vases with a floating flower.

You can buy vases at garage sales or a goodwill or salvation army for pretty cheap, you just have to shop around.. and you can fill them with the glass beads at Michael's  These go on sale every once and awhile for $1 a bag, just watch out for the sales.  The flowers are coming bulk from Sam's Club.

I ordered my votives from http://www.quickcandles.com, very affordable.  And I got my votive holders off of Craig's list (very reasonable price).  

And I'm putting the pictures in place card holders from Oriental Trading.com  

I would suggest checking out sales at Michael's/JoAnn's and orientaltrading.com  If you sign up for their e-mails they send you free shipping coupons all the time... and if you watch your ads you can get 40% off coupons to Micheal's..  

Good luck!

Answer 6

I would look around get an idea of what you like/want, and if your high school has a 4-h club you can get a great deal or maybe even something you can do your self.

Answer 7

I definitely suggest checking out http://www.save-on-crafts.com/

And the vase/bowl section: http://www.save-on-crafts.com/vases.html

And the general wedding decor section: http://www.save-on-crafts.com/bridalveil...

I definitely think you can do some thing really beautiful for under $15 per table with this site. I browsed it just for ideas and got all the inspiration I needed for my table decor and favours/wrapping.
