Engagement Party- Any centerpiece ideas???

Hi Ladies!

I'm looking for any ideas on centerpieces for my upcoming June engagement party :)

I dont plan on having any specific theme and the colors I'm trying to stick with are white/silver. I basically am looking for any ideas that won't be too expensive.

Any ideas on DIY low cost CPs?
Or if you did flowers, and don't mind me asking what did you find to be the average cost? Which florist did u use?

If you have any pics you can post that would be a huge help as well!

TIA!!!!:)

We did glass vases from with crystals in the bottom and a floating candle. We also put led lights in the crystals to light them up. Not super expensive from Michaels - especially if you go with a coupon!

I found really cute ice cream dishes that were more like glasses - i made cake pops, decorated them with white chocolate and pastel sprinkles, wrapped them, and put a bunch in each glass. We also had little retro style bowls in fun colors on the tables with different candies that FH & I love. Our e-party was a Sunday brunch, but the munchies went over fantastically! plus...I got to keep the bowls from anthropologie as a gift from my mom lol

We had a candy theme so we bought the oversized martini glasses from Michael's and filled them with different candies. We also had some balloons and ribbon tied to them and surrounded them with votive candles. We got engaged in Hershey so we used candy but you could probably fill them with other things to fit your personalities.

If you're doing white and silver it might be really cool to do something like this:

If you drink a lot of wine and/or have a lot of friends that drink wine, you could probably do all of your centerpieces just for the cost of candles!

You can buy Cylinders at Dollar Tree ($1 and you'd never know it), everything else at Michael's.

This is so cute!! I want to do this for my wedding where do I get this? Or should I start drinking now?
