With so many expenses in a wedding, one might find themselves a little low on the budget for things such as centerpieces. However, there are many different ways to have beautiful and elegant centerpieces on a low budget. Spring is the perfect time to take full advantage of nature’s most beautiful flowers in bloom. Here are some ideas to create your own beautiful centerpieces for a spring wedding.

Flowers- Flowers are the most popular centerpieces for weddings today. And when it’s the season of flowers, how can one not take the chance and incorporate them into your centerpieces? Some popular flowers that are in bloom in the spring include: cherry blossoms, tulips, roses, camellia, freesia, honeysuckle, bluebell, lilac, sunflower, orchid, daisy, etc. A really good idea is to use two different flowers. One fragrant flower, and one colorful flower. You don’t have to go over the top and spend crazy money on big flower arrangements. You can choose a couple of different flowers and put them in a nice white clay pot then sprinkle rose petals around the arrangement.

Lantern Centerpieces- Lantern centerpieces are so beautiful because you can do so much with them. It is also something that is both unique and different. You can add both candles and flowers to the lanterns. There are so many different designs of lanterns, and most of them are fairly cheap. There are glass lantern, gazebo lanterns, ghost leaf lanterns, vintage tea lanterns, Japanese lanterns, etc. A really cute idea is to place tealight candles around the lantern and then add a couple of different spring fruits next to the candles.

Water Centerpieces- Another popular yet inexpensive idea is water centerpieces. This sounds rather simple, but it really looks romantic. All you need is a shallow bowl filled with water. You can place marbles, rocks, crystals, etc at the bottom of the bowl. You can also place a handful of rose petals in the marbles (whatever you choose) at the bottom of the bowl. The rose petals at the bottom add color to the centerpiece. If you would like more color to the centerpiece another option is to add dye to the water. Don’t forget to add the floating candles on top!

Miscellaneous Ideas- Another inexpensive idea for centerpieces is candles that are different shapes and sizes. Wine and champagne glass candles look very elegant when lit. Also having an arrangement of pillar candles on the table surrounded by rose petals is a simple and beautiful idea. Another cute idea is an arrangement of frames of poems, bible verses, or even pictures of the couple can make a great centerpiece. You can also get 2-3 glass tier glass stands and fill them with fruits, sand, chocolates, confetti, etc.

Just because you might have a small budget for centerpieces, doesn’t mean you can’t have something fabulous and memorable. No matter what centerpiece you choose for your special day, make sure it reflects your personality. Make your wedding something special that everyone will remember.
