So how did I spend my easter week end? Making wedding centerpieces, of course!
OK, so I knew we wanted to cut back our wedding costs as much as possible, and there were several areas that I was willing to trim. First among the list is centerpieces. While I want something pretty and formal enough for a wedding reception, I'm also not afraid of silk.
My mom and I took a couple trips to Michael's and we found a lovely silk arrangement that we thought we could copy. So, armed with a 40%off coupon and good intentions, we struck off through the aisles of silk flowers. We ended up with a lot of greenery, some pretty white and red flowers, and (the piece de resistance, read in a french accent) sparkly red butterflies.
Here is the final result:
We have neat mirror tiles upon which these little beauties will sit, and they will be surrounded by sky blue votives and silver-framed table numbers. Love it!
