How to Save Time And Money

The best wedding centerpiece ideas on a budget are ones you can assemble yourself.

By “assembling” I mean finding pieces at low cost that will look stunning when put together. It’s the best compromise between an a to z time-consuming “Do-It-Yourself” project and paying someone else to make 20 centerpieces for you.

Tide’s Sweet Gifts

A different declination of the sequin table runner.

Although, this time, it’s a silver lighthouse candle lantern that proudly sits in the middle of this centerpiece surrounded by a starfish garland made with driftwood.

The red and blue colors of the table numbers and wood starfish are well matched while not being too aggressive. In fact, colors are softened to look as if the decorations were washed onto the shore to become treasures of beauty at your table.

Orchid flowers provide a final touch of delicacy.

DIY Without The Waste Of Time

Don’t get me wrong, I love DIY projects. I especially prefer those that are not time-consuming. In that sense, when you look at the time you’ll spend making your own paper flowers, or baking starfish decorations you realize you are not saving much.

Between all other wedding preparation activities, work, and typical daily tasks, you may find that your free time for this sort of project is limited.

On the other hand, it’s not worth it to pay a considerable amount of money to have your table centerpieces made by an event decorator.

The finest beach wedding centerpiece ideas on a budget require some basic manual skills but nothing to be worried about. It’s within anyone’s grasp as you will see in the suggestions found in this article!
