Craft Flowers

If real flowers are out but you’re still hung up on images of beautiful, blossoming florals, give faux-flowers a try! Made from either fabric or paper, handmade blooms are an excellent, low cost way to get that classic spring look. Plus, they won’t wither or die, so you can keep using them after the wedding day!

Fabric Flowers

Balloons

Oversized balloons tied to a colorful, rock-filled, fabric pouch add instant elegance to your tables. Sleek, simple, and fun at a super-low cost, balloon centerpieces are the ultimate non-floral centerpiece.

Up-Cycled Bottles

For a chic and modern centerpiece look, try glass bottles spray-painted silver. Perfect for urban and rustic weddings alike, metallic bottles are a dynamic option that keeps your centerpiece looking contemporary and bright. A fun alternative to silver-spray painted bottles is cemented plastic bottles—these will create a clean, industrial look for your centerpiece.
