You can save money on your centerpieces by reusing the bridesmaid’s bouquets and set them in the middle of the table in a vase.  You can put your bouquet at the head table or on the cake table. 

Another cost saving idea is to spray paint flower pots that coordinate with your wedding colors and plant annuals or perennials in them.  Then the guests can take them home as a party favor!

For ambiance lighting, use several candles of different heights on a glass mirror in the center of the table.  Sprinkle rose petals or confetti with your wedding colors around.

Another item that you may want to consider placing on the tables are disposable cameras.  Your photographer is hired to capture the memory of you on your big day as the events unfold.  Let the guests have fun by snapping pictures as well!  Once you have the photographs developed, you can add a picture of your guests along with their thank you card so that they will have a memory of your wedding as well.

Next... Music, DJs and Bands (oh my!)
