Inexpensive Centerpiece for your next Event!!

Now I should start with an apology for being MIA for a little while!

Well I do have good reasons and I should have lots to blog about which is the good news:)

I have been working on my best friends bridal shower which is several states away, a back yard update not to mention center pieces for a birthday party!!

Which leads me into today's post!

I was asked to create center pieces for an outside 40th birthday party for 

a good friend of ours!

Since I was traveling the weekend of the party I needed to find a flower that

could last for a couple of days.  

Here is what I came up with:)

I got most of the items at the Dollar Store, Michael's, and Publix.

Total cost for the arrangement below is about $18

I had clear vase already, well actually I had 4 :)

For the party I made 4 sets of flower arrangements and 4 sets of

Wine glass trios. 

Now here is what I did!

The wine glasses are from the Dollar Tree- $1 each

The candles are also from the Dollar Tree- $1 each

Hydrangeas and baby breath from Publix (local grocery store) $3 each

To add a little flair to the candles since they were plain I just tied twine around

them to give them that shabby chic feel.  The corks just act as a filler when the glass

is turned upside down.  I think it really adds a sense of elegance.  The clear vase

was wrapped with a burlap and lace ribbon once again to get that shabby

feel to it!

So if you are looking for a simple but elegant center piece for you wedding, bridal shower,

or next event play around with some inexpensive pieces and glam the up!

Happy Tuesday!
