What you need: Glass Vases, Scrapbook Paper and Real or Silk Flowers
Glass Vases- Anywhere between $1.00 at Dollar Tree or $30 for 12 from saveoncrafts.com (<3)
Scrapbook Paper- $0.19 a sheet (plus don't forget to use your Michael's coupon for 20% off your entire purchase, or, if you're buying a big pad of paper, go to JoAnn's for the 40% off a regular priced item)
Flowers - Roughly $5 per table (using 3 vases)
Real- Florists would probably take the charm out of the whole "D-I-Y" factor, so, buy a nice bouquet and dissect it. Good chance you will only need 1 per table, and if you buy off-beat flowers from either the nice man on the side of the road, or Sam's Club/ CostCo, you're probably looking at $3-$5 a table.
Silk- Again, snatch up your coupons and head to Michael's or JoAnn's (or Pat Catan's!) and grab a big cluster of silk flowers that you can cut (you will probably need a sharp knife) and play around with. If you have a fall wedding and your engagement time-line allows, buy your fall flowers in winter to get stems and bunches for as little as $0.25!
And when it comes to labor? That's what bridesmaids and family are for. :)
All in all, these Centerpiece Clusters are easily made for less than $10 a table, and could be used not only for the big day, but for a shower or rehearsal dinner, or even in the middle of your own table for a "Bridal Party Party!"
