As a bride on a budget I searched for centerpieces that wouldn't break the bank, so that basically cut flowers out of the picture. But I did decide to go with the Ostrich Feather Centerpieces in Eiffel Tower vases.
I am doing these as DIY project along with a friend that happens to be an event decorator. For all the supplies - vases, feathers, floralytes and foam bouquet holders I spent about $300, which considering how much flowers would have cost is not too shabby I think.
And the great thing about them is that you can change the colors of the feathers for a different look and get different color floralytes. One thing to note, definitely get frosted white eiffel tower vases - if you get clear you end up having to get filler to hide the stem of the bouquet holder!
And to add a little "bling" to the table I found table diamonds - a bag of 2,000 for $17. They also come in other colors if you want to spice it up.
