As you may know, I'm getting married in 133 days. My budget is limited, and the guest list keeps growing. That means I need to make some cuts, and so far one of the easiest areas to cut out is flowers, but I don't want to have barren tables.
So even though this is a shopping blog and not for wedding planning, please humor me, and let me know if this is a terrible idea.
So far my tables will use the free linen at my venue (black with white overlay) and then an apple green runner that I purchased for $2.60 each at efavormart.com
My original plan was to have a low arrangement of white hydrangeas in the center along with white candles in square glass votives. Like this (pretend there are votives around it):
However, my thought it that I can make the candles the star of the table to save money, and only include a very small floral element. Glass vases of all sizes are free at my venue, and I could use floating candles at different levels for some interest and then place a very small arrangement amongst the vases.
Do you think that will look ok? By doing the second option, I won't be using a florist for any of the table decorations and can buy hydrangeas in bulk and then clip the stems and place 1-2 in the 5 inch square vases. Obviously I'll need to do a trial run, but I'm pretty sure that this is my new plan.
Whatcha think?
