So I had this vision how I wanted centerpieces and my fiancé and I went to the craft store and bought supplies and I got to check out and my total was 240 for 12 centerpieces worth of stuff. So $20 per thing and I wanna ad to it a bit so say $30 to round up. They're vases I put stuff on so I'll put flowers in it. 5 will be brides maid bouquets and others will either be like fake trees or real flowers from florist. Our budget isn't crazy high but not low either. I have that buyers remorse like I spent too much. I used a lot of the stuff already so can't really return a lot of it now. How much did you guys spend on centerpieces with and without flowers??

I've been collecting vases. No more than $2 each. I'll have about 13 tables with 4 vases on each. So I'm at about $8 a table for just the vases. I'll be buying my flowers wholesale so not too sure on pricing yet.

Agree with Alysschu, that was a rambling mess.

Our centerpieces with flowers are $205.

Ah - think about reuse value too! I made all my centerpieces, and my BMs have already expressed interest in taking some home for decor and I'll keep at least 2 myself. The rest of them can be easily disassembled, the mason jars reused, and the silk flowers sold at a yard sale.

I bought lanterns at Ikea for $8 each and need to buy flameless candles for them. For what the florist is doing to surround it is $95 each and we'll have 20 of them. So your pricing sounds great to me!

The thing about resale value is that you may not always be able to resell it.

@soon2bruffo I bought the vases for $1 each at walmart. The tall vase I hot glued 2 $1 vases together then wrapped the bling ribbon around it.. the medium vase I wrapped floral Styrofoam in ribbon and bling then sat the $1 vase on top of it with the ribbon covering the seams. I definitely did not want to spend 20 bucks on a tall vase!
