E party Centerpieces

Hello ladies,
My mother asked me to post a question this morning. She is hosting our engagement party in a room at an italian restaurant. Nothing too big, just both of our families (immediate, and aunts/uncles), and bridal party. There will be about 20 ish people there. She wants centerpiece ideas. She is very creative so she mainly wants a DIY project, but is open to all suggestions. There is no theme, so anything is a go :)

Thanks so much,
Carly

I had a very low-key engagement party. My mom and I bought really cool vases at Michael's Craft Store and bought pre-made bouquets of flowers at the florist. Each centerpiece looked a little different but beautiful. I think each one cost about $13 ($2.5 vase and $9.99 for flowers). Hope this helps!

Actually I was at EmilyandPeters E-party and they looked great!

We also DIY project of using three picture frames with different photos of us through the years.

For the frames, candles and pictures it was about 30 bucks each (but u can do it without the candles and use cheaper frames)

Hey
I just had my e-party this past weekend if you look in my album i posted my DIY centerpieces which doubled as favors. The boxes came with white ribbon but I replaced that with the pink ribbon and the floweres that I bought at michael's. I also added the stand and thank you stamp. If you want to use the idea and want the stands let me know I still have them an can just give them to you. The pink flowers on it can be removed. Good Luck!!

Re: E party Centerpieces

were just doing really simple glass vases from ac moore with a chocolate brown ribbon tied around it with a tiny faux engagement ring hanging off the ribbon and orange roses in the vase. costco gave us a really good deal $15 for every 2 doz roses. ive been going nuts with decor for our fall themed eparty, im gonna post an album once the party is finally here with pics of everything

Re: E party Centerpieces

I have been trying to figure out the same thing for a couple weeks now bc my e-party is coming up on 10/10.

I think I'm going to get vases from the Dollar Tree and bouqets of fall flowers from Trader Joe's. I think each bouqet there is like 5.99 and since my fh works for the company we get an extra discount. I think I will also tie some ribbon around the vase to give it more color. And then toss Hershey Kisses on the tables.
