Cheap wedding centerpiece ideas to save your wedding budget!

Putting some height in your centerpiece will add to the look of the whole room, just remember to think about the people sitting at the table - you don't want them not to see anyone else on the table!

The key to saving money on your centerpieces is to shop around for the parts that will make the whole.

Cheap wedding candle centerpieces are popular and a great way to look expensive without costing the earth is to place your candles on a mirror tile which you can buy from any DIY store. Different height pillar candles will make it look interesting and you could then scatter petals or confetti.

Glass bowls filled with water with floating candles is a simple but effective idea. You can then add extras to the bowl in the form of glass beads to match your colour, or shells or flowers or petals - the list is endless! I know of one couple who used pebbles from the beach where the husband proposed.

Wine glasses of different heights with a floating candle, you could then decorate the stems with ivy or ribbon.

Remember to avoid scented candles during the wedding breakfast as these could detract from the food and wine.

Classic candelabras would add a traditional look and you may find that the venue you are using already has these that you could use at no extra cost.

Ideas for a floral cheap wedding centerpiece can still be from your florist, think about the size and the season of the flowers. If they know what your budget is they will be able to recommend the best ideas.

A simple floral idea that you can do yourself with little skill (I should know as my creative flair is not with flowers!) are to buy pots of ivy, cover the pot with material or moss and then add a few small roses, again simple but effective.

A sweet centerpiece idea is to use photographs of yourselves either from now or early in your relationship. Each table could be different and you could include pictures of those at the table.

Or you could frame a love poem or a special phrase.

Hope this helps for inspiration!
