Weddings are expensive. These days brides need to stretch their wedding centerpiece dollars even further to achieve the look that they have dreamed of since childhood. Flowers can be a very expensive component to a wedding day. There are ways to trim this cost and still have a stylish, modern wedding that any little girl would dream about. Look over these 5 tropical wedding centerpieces; they should give you some ideas on how to work within your wedding budget.
1. Simple: There is something so sweet about plain white daisies in a bottled silver bucket. It speaks of youth and exudes unending cheerfulness. Daisies may be inexpensive but they make people smile. They would be the perfect flower for an outdoor beach wedding.
2. Modern: If you like sleek and modern but can’t afford to spend your entire budget on floral arrangements, try this. Carnations are very inexpensive. Monochromatic masses of flowers are very stylish. Put the two together for an inexpensive modern look. Do not think of the carnation as the lowly prom corsage of yesteryear. Once they are en masse, you’ll forget its horrid past.
3. Classic: A square glass bowl with a single floating orchid blossom is a classic wedding reception look. Putting polished river rocks at the bottom updates the arrangement while keeping the cost down. You can even use white stones if the color suits your wedding palate.
4. Casual: Wedding centerpieces on a budget can be made to look intentional with very little effort. Collect various glass bottles, milk bottles and mismatched clear glass vases and run them down the length of a rectangular table. Fill each with a single bloom in your selected color, a Gerber Daisy for example. It will appear that you deliberately used fewer flowers instead of the actual reasoning.
5. Rustic: Another inexpensive alternative to flowers is succulents. They can be purchased at gardening centers inexpensively and easily transplanted to low containers for a tropical yet rustic feel. Mix in a few shells or starfish to complete the look.
