| DIY Centerpieces |

I decided to create my own centerpieces to save some money on wedding expenses.
I have always loved orchids, so I called around to a few places and found a great deal on orchids at Trader Joe's. The woman in charge of flowers even held 20 beautiful orchids of all shapes and colors aside for me--I only had to give her two weeks notice. It was $12/orchid.
Then I checked out a few stores for flower pots and found the perfect ones at a Crate and Barrel Outlet for about $7/each. So total cost of my non-fuss centerpieces was $19/each.
The day before the wedding we simply dropped the orchid containers into the pot and covered with moss from my parents back yard--and voila--we had the most elegant centerpiece.
All my guests thought that a professional had done my flowers. I gave most of the orchids away to family, but kept one for myself and it has just bloomed again. |
