8 Budget-Friendly Ideas for Wedding Centerpieces

We know that wedding centerpieces and florals can add up fast! Here are some alternative creative ideas to showcase your style and theme, because we know that gorgeous doesn’t have to mean pricey.

1. Host a Floral Bar:

For a fun and interactive centerpiece alternative, set up a Flower Bar! Provide fresh flowers in a variety of colors and types, along with small vases or jars, and let guests create their own mini-bouquets. Not only will this add to the décor, but guests can also take their creations home as a beautiful and personal memento.

A Flower Bar can double as both décor and activity, giving guests a way to create memories as well as lovely keepsakes. Displaying the flowers on a vintage cart or rustic table adds to the charm and makes it a focal point of your event.

2. Greenery Garlands:

For a lush, natural look, consider simple greenery garlands. Eucalyptus, ferns, or ivy can be arranged along the center of tables for an earthy, romantic vibe. Pair the greenery with a few votive candless for added warmth.

5. Mason Jars with Fairy Lights:

Mason jars are a versatile and affordable option. Fill them with fairy lights, small blooms, or even seasonal items like pinecones or citrus slices. These jars create a cozy glow and are easy to customize with ribbons or lace for added charm. You can DIY these or ask us about making these for you.

7. Succulents and Potted Plants:

Potted plants, especially succulents or herbs, double as sustainable centerpieces and can be taken home as favors. Arrange small pots in clusters or place one larger plant in the center. They’re perfect for a rustic or bohemian wedding and add lasting greenery to the space. Pair with our table runners and votives to bring the look together. Ask us about our favorite local provider who rents out her plants.

Choosing budget-friendly centerpieces doesn’t mean sacrificing style or elegance. With a bit of creativity, your tables can be beautifully decorated without the high cost.

3. Books and Vintage Props:

If you’re a fan of literature or a vintage aesthetic, stack classic novels or antique books as centerpieces. Add small vintage trinkets like old cameras, typewriters, or small lanterns for a whimsical touch. Used bookstores and thrift shops are treasure troves for unique finds that match your theme. Pair with our votive collection or our simple floral package.

4. Bud Vases with Single Stems:

Instead of full floral arrangements, place single stems of your favorite flowers in a collection of small, clear vases. It’s simple, elegant, and creates a beautiful, airy look. Mix it up with different heights and vase shapes for a bit of visual variety.

6. Wine Bottles and Labels:

Save wine bottles and paint or wrap them in paper that matches your color scheme. You can use them as vases or add a personalized label with your name and/ or a quote. Group them with a few candles for a classy yet budget-friendly centerpiece.

8. Photo Memories:

Display your favorite photos as a couple or even places you love in simple frames. Arrange these photos on the tables, and add small accents like candles or greenery for a personal, heartfelt touch that’s as memorable as it is affordable.
