Centerpieces & Isle Flowers

Posted by with 5 comments | in , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
This past long weekend I went to my parents place in BC to spend some time with my mom putting together the centerpieces and ceremony isle planter pots.  Other than getting a nasty sunburn, it went really well and was low cost too!

We had gathered the centerpiece pots and painted them a while back and had some excellent soil that we had been given a while ago which was fantastic.  My mom graciously bought some miracle grow as well as the flowers (approx $175) and we had bought some large planter pots from Walmart (approx $30) as well.

All told the total cost was just over $200 for our centerpieces (25) and isle flowers (12).

Here's some photo's of pulling everything together:

    I always had this idea that a wedding outside of the traditional would cost a tonne but you are changing my mind. I have no idea what I want my wedding to be like but I know it's going to be awesome knowing that it is possible to do so many amazing things on a budget. Thanks Jessie.

    They are pretty. I like that they won't die two days after your wedding. You can either have your guests take them or keep them for you place.
