Create Your Own Centerpieces
Simple, elegant centerpieces are easy to DIY. Try: candles in varying heights with greenery, potted plants or succulents guests can take home, books stacked with flowers on top (great for literary themes), or filled glass vases with lemons, cranberries, or seasonal items. Buy supplies wholesale from flower markets or craft stores. Recruit friends for an assembly party the week before. Can save $500-1,500 depending on guest count.
