What is a good alternative to flower arrangements at a wedding?

I went to a wedding a couple weeks ago and they had nice table centerpieces. They had heart shaped dishes (the bride got them for a dollar a piece at the dollar store) filled with hersheys kisses, hugs, etc. Then, she took some fake wedding rings, (a dollar a bag at the dollar store) and took 2 and tied them together with a piece of pretty white ribbon. She just scatterd them around the heart dishes. It was really really cute. At the main table, they had pretty much the same thing, except the main centerpiece was a picture of the couple in a really nice frame. Good luck!

Wedding is one of the most special and unforgettable day in everyone’s life. You may do lot of arrangements for that special day. But staying on the budget is the most critical task. Wedding day is not only beautiful, but also quite stressful event. For this, one need have a specific plan which makes your event grand success.

Jardin Majorele studio services where they make everything for your wedding in a unique manner. Being a leading florist, Majorele flower studio provides blossom touch to your special event where flowers are carefully designed and wrapped, giving modern & unique look.

Go to your local dollar store! Little chests or jewelry boxes with necklaces or strings of beads in your wedding colors on pretty tapestry style table mats or scraps of material would be very pretty as well as inexpensive. It can be formal or informal. You could also use china bowls(either have or buy cheap) and fill them with snacks that you had already planned for your wedding. The cupcake racks that are at Walmart are cheap and would be nice also. Good Luck!

Get shallow but wide mouth clear dishes. Fill them with water and use floating candles (which I’m sure can be found in blue and teal) and petals (real or fake). The dishes don’t have to be the same, that can add to the uniqueness of every table and ease the burden of finding however many of the same exact dish. I included a picture that is a little more extravagant but can be toned down and still work. Hope it all goes well!

Get glass hurricane vases (closed on the bottom) head to the beach then fill them 1/3 of the way up with sand, then place a white or blue or teal tall thick candle in them. Very inexpensive and very classy. Candles are always the way to go.

I have seen natural arrangements where seed pods and things like sweet gum balls on sticks were put in wooden vases were used. They looked awesome and rustic like for an outdoor wedding.

Purchase matting for a picture frame (1 for each table) place in the center w/ some markers/pens & have the guests write their best wishes to the bride & groom on the matting. Then once they have pictures developed from the wedding & honeymoon, they can use them – no money wasted! And matting is extremly cheap. Shouldn’t cost more than $20 for all of the tables.

Try a “minimalist” arrangement of driftwood or dried twigs (gathered, of course) sprayed with spray-glue and dusted with teal and blue glitter. The twigs can be held up in not-too tall containers filled with dry sand (from the island’s beach). Even tin cans can be cleaned up and spray painted with metallic paint.

Use those little “tea light” candles (really cheap) strategically placed within the arrangement. – punch holes in the tin cans with a hammer and various sized nails and punches, chisels etc. for a folksy lantern effect.

Use a larger piece of driftwood and inexpensive pillar candles for the head table.

I think that candles are the way to go. They are very inexpensive and bring a romantic feel to any wedding. You could just get some candles (omit the vase to cut costs and to bring a little natural elegance). I would put maybe three different sized candles on each table and sprinkle some blue/teal pebble rocks (you can get them at any craft store) on each table as well.

I like the whole fruit in a glass bowl…it looks very fresh! You could also get sand ($5 at a home store for 50 pounds) and put some fresh branches, etc coming out from a vase….

1. Get a mirror. Put a hurricane lamp on the mirror with a cream or white candle (to make it look lighter). On the mirror, sprinkle some sparkles/confetti that match your colors. Decorate the hurricane lamp with some blue ribbon and make a bow or something for it with some silk flowers (arts and crafts store).

2. Get a tall glass vase. Put feathers (the long white ones, or mix-and-match) inside and fill the vase about half way with sparkles/confetti that match your colors. (saw this on TV — actually looked cool)

3. See #1, but use a wider bowl instead of the hurricane lamps, and use floating candles.

Good luck!
