Only people who have been involved in wedding planning know how expensive the entire thing can turn out to be. The secret to not going over your budget is to prioritize – in other words, deciding upfront what to splurge on and what to cut back and save on. One easy way to save money is by creating your own centrepieces. Oftentimes, most of the wedding accessories for centrepieces can be found at specialized online stores at very affordable prices. With a little bit of creativity and good will, you should be able to create stunning works of art without spending much.

To help you out, here are a few ideas on how to create chic centerpieces using inexpensive wedding accessories to amaze your guests and not exceed your budget.

Love Buckets

I’ve found 25 mini white tin buckets for $21.99 online. You can use them to create this beautiful love buckets centerpieces, or you can use them to spell out the happy couple’s name. Fill the mini buckets with water and add some fresh-cut flowers. Black and white is a timeless option, but you can try a colourful version too.

Floating Flower Vases

This beautiful centrepiece is inexpensive and very easy to make. Use vases of different heights and fill them with water. Then add a flower or two, or use rose petals instead, and a floating candle. You can also make floating fruit vases if you prefer. Fill the vases with water in different levels and then add the fruit of your option. Green apples or green lemons are the most common choices.

Upside Down Wine Glasses

Turn your traditional wine glasses upside down to get the perfect candlesticks for your wedding centrepieces. For an enhanced look, place flowers, marbles or other decor pieces underneath the cup.

Glittery Wine Bottles

Just as there are infinite ways to decorate wine bottles, there are infinite ways to turn them into centrepieces. These golden glittery ones are real winners. They are awesome enough to be displayed on their own to blend with the flowers and votives.

PVC Pipe Vases

Sometimes the best decorations are made from the most unlikely materials. One great example of this is adding a coat of spray paint to PVC pipes – the result is vibrant vases that you can use as centrepieces for your wedding.

No one wants their wedding to look cheap and that is the main cause why many people end up spending a fortune to have the perfect decor. Instead, save some money while having fun by adding personal and homemade touches with these creative centrepieces. They are easy, inexpensive, unique, and will surely amaze your guests.
