Some Cheap Centerpieces
Need cheap, but nice centerpieces. It is possible. Here are some tips on inexpensive centerpieces:
Wedding decorations on eBay – People sometimes sell floral wedding arrangements after the event.
Wedding Decorations from Nature– Spray paint some branches to include in your wedding arrangement.
Beach themed decorations – Use a large seashell as a flower vase and spread small shells around the tables. Oriental trading sells seashells in bulk (say that three times fast!)
Decorating with flower Petals – Sprinkle rose petals around candles.
Mix Fruit and flower Centerpieces – A popular centerpiece trend is to fill a vase with lemons and limes. Fill it up with water and ad some flower stems. Since you have so much fruit in there, you don’t need as many flowers.
Candles and Water– Here is a nice fire and water theme. Put a thick candle inside a clear vase filled with about 3 inches of water. Float small blooms in the water.
Use drinking glasses instead of vases -- Ikea sells a package of 6 large beer glasses for $6.99.
Floating lights – Fill glass bowls with water and tea lights. You can add food coloring.

Buy a large pillar candle -- Put it on top of a mirror and surround it with silk flowers. I think that mirror tiles from Home Depot could work for this.
Favor Basket: Place a single large basket or several small baskets in the center of each table. Tie a ribbon or bow around each basket. Fill with candy (or the guests’ favors).

Use Christmas Decorations in your centerpiece -- Arrange plain Christmas tree balls in a bowl on each table. This would work especially well for a December wedding.
Wine goblets –Group wine glasses and fill with candy, beads, flowers, or candles.
Place bridesmaid bouquets Place bridesmaid bouquets on the tables after the ceremony.
Wine Centerpiece– Put a bottle of wine on the table.
Cupcake Centerpiece-- Have a cupcake pyramid in the center of the table.

Tall Vase Centerpiece -- A bouquet looks bigger with a tall vase. You can get tall vases from a florist's supply shop for a little as $6 each.

Cheap Centerpiece Ideas
An easy way to create a great centerpiece with balloons and fragrant flowers is to use this method. Simply choose a balloon that is a favorite color, fill it 1/3 of the way with water, place a fresh flower inside, and place ribbon, netting, or even tulle around the balloon. Make sure the central balloon is stationary, and watch the flower and water ebb and flow whenever the people at the table get up to dance. It truly is a beautiful and festive centerpiece.

Another great way to create centerpieces using balloons is to place a small battery powered candle inside the balloon. Make sure the wattage of the candle is extremely low, and the balloon is inflated just enough to allow for a gentle glow over the table. Add a garland of flowers and ribbons to suit your taste, and you've got a great conversation piece as well as a great centerpiece. If you want to take it a step further, give the balloon and flowers a light spray with a white or silver glitter spray for that frosted look. It's a simple idea that makes each centerpiece look like a work of art.
The Sky Is The Limit
If you want a spectacular look when creating your balloon centerpieces, you can't go wrong with this idea. Take some long ribbons, pre-cut, and attach one end of the ribbons to the center of the table, either through weights or tape. Take the other ends and attach them to some balloons filled with helium gas. As the balloons rise and twist into the air, they create a great sight and conversation piece for your next party.
As you can see, these are but a few of the choices you have to make some very festive centerpieces using a few simple balloons, pieces of ribbon, or the occasional ring of flowers.
Its amazing what a few ribbons, balloons and a little imagination can do! In no time, you'll come up with centerpieces that will be the talk of your party. Let your imagination run wild and you will come up with a truly unique centerpiece.
