Non-floral Centerpieces

Although I absolutely love fresh floral centerpieces, they tend to come with a hefty price tag which not every bride can afford. If you are looking for a centerpiece idea that won’t break your budget or looking for a neat idea to set your wedding apart from the rest- you have come to the right place. One of my favorite non-floral centerpiece ideas is the photo frame that is shown below. It is very easy to make and is something that your guests will truly enjoy. Shop at stores like IKEA or EBAY for glass bowls, containers or vases that will cost you next to nothing. These can be filled with whole fruits, candles, fabulous feathers and more. To kill two birds with one stone, try stacking beautiful favor boxes in the center of your guest’s table. Be sure to leave a note reminding them to take one home at the conclusion of your event. You can also use mini wedding cakes or a tiered tray filled with cupcakes as your centerpiece. Many of these ideas can be used in conjunction with floral centerpieces. Try alternating floral and non-floral centerpieces throughout your guest tables to give your reception space depth, color, variety and character.
