Centerpiece Ideas and Local Florists.

My wedding is booked.. I am so happy. We went today and gave the deposit. I am getting married on September 12th of 2008..

I am going to be making my own centerpieces and I am looking or some ideas. Something creative. I wanted to look for some old fashioned water pitchers and put flowers in them. I love the old water pitchers. I also want to do something with candles. My budget is very small. I mean very.

Also, if anyone knows of a good florists that doesnt rip you off, has some good prices can you pass that along to me. Please send me a PM if you can. Thank you so much.

Go to the flower wholesale district. Fischer and page is very good and G Page which is right next to it. Great prices. Also, you can save $$ by buying the containers and maybe having your local florist doing the flowers. Water pitchers are a great idea. very shabby chic. perhaps flowers like Hydangeas? they are big ad take up alot of space in the pitcher.

I love hydrangeas.. That is what I am going with, those and roses. White roses only. I was thinking of doing them myself and just buying them in bulk from costco or sams. I just hope I can find the correct containers. Someone mentioned to me something about break away centerpieces where each couple at the table gets a piece of it. I thought that was a great idea as well but that is something I am not sure of. I wouldnt know what to make for a breakaway.

check walmart for vase and candle ideas. They were cheaper (by like 5$) than anywhere I looked and I bought all of my CP vases there (2.57 each for 11 inch hurricane glass)
