First off congrats to all of you. I was wondering if anyone had centerpiece for less than $50/table. I like flowers but its not a must have. I was thinking of skipping CPs all together but I would like to have something. Did any of you do something unique or choose an inexpensive flower or used a inexpensive florist? Sorry for the the questions.
TIA

Flowers weren't as important to me so I definitely tried to save in that dept. My centerpieces were about $50-55 each and I had each centerpece made up as 6 small bunches so each couple could take a bunch home at the end of the night - but it looked like just one arrangement on the table.
Here is a pic of mine

You can fill a vase or some kind of dish with sand and shells and flank the arrangement with tea lights
there's a whole bunch of creative ideas....you could always do potted plants too or sliced fruit with inexpensive flowers in a bubble bowl - check out my shower album- thats what my bms did and I thought they were adorable! I think they ended up being $15 ea.

Re: Help for 09er on a budget
I used candles, bud vases, and hurricanes that my sister had bought for her wedding. I then ordered bunches of tulips from my florist. My hall put the centerpieces together. Im not sure what we really spent per table, but it was def under like $30. Here is a pic.
Here is a pic of what my tables looked like. I killed two birds with one stone because the vases used in the centerpieces were personalized and also the favors. I don't know what you were thinking about doing for favors. And I bought the lanterns for a really good price on ebay. There were only three flowers in each vase. You can even do just one flower.
I went to flower barn. . .I don't have any pictures at work, but my low CPs were def under $50 each or around $50.
It was mostly roses, with some calla lillies and hydrangea. It was gorgeous, Mike did a great job and was VERY good with my budget - and he put up with me and my crazy Mom the week before the wedding

I got seagulls and lighthouses from Michaels and vases and pitchers from target. I was lucky it was all on sale. I clipped flowers from a friends garden.

Gina I love the way those look on the table. The tulips are so elegant with the candles and the tables aren't cluttered.
