Non-Floral Floral Centerpieces

Flowers can be expensive! Begin to get really creative and think of using non-traditional items as centerpeices. You can use oversized branches in large containers, unique ceramic bowls filled with nuts, or a composition of seasonal fruits or tons of candles. The sky is the limit.

One of my favorites is using paper to create flower like arrangements. In this image we created paperflowers, and then arranged the flowers. Its very unexpected for your guests, and you can create these pieces well in advance and they wont die!

Recycling weird things 101

If you have a draw full of old weird party favors, what do you do with them? We like to turn them into other types of decorations and reuse them for another party. shhh... don't tell, but we like to re-gift too.

For a recent event in a dark basement, we had to add a bit of pizazz to the dungeon like space at a very small budget. We mixed up old LED party favors, glow in the dark ice cubes, necklaces, and mismatched colors of sea glass inside mason jars. The mason jars where then mounted on to the center columns in the space - creating the glowing illusion of design. The total costs, mason jars and labor costs. A small price for a big impact.
