Centerpieces

I am on a fixed budge for my reception centeripieces. I have 24 tables and am wanting either roses or the big hurricane candle holders for the center..I want it to look as elegant as possible but don`t have a clue. Does anybody have an idea on how to save money and make it look amazing?..thanks

Krista, have you hired a florist to do your flowers/centerpieces for you? If so, most provide hurricane vases, bud vases, Eiffel tower vases, etc to display the flowers at no cost. Obviously the vases aren`t yours to keep then, but who needs 24 vases anyways.

If your florist isn`t doing the flowers I`d start shopping around right away. Look on the internet for bulk sales of vases and try wholesale places in your area. You may be able to find them quite cheap. Or if you don`t mind if they all don`t match, you could shop auctions or garage sales for used ones. You could have an eclectic look.

Good luck.
