First, let's start off with a quick game of word association. What comes to mind when you see the words: Wedding Centerpiece? Well, it would be safe to assume that a majority of you answered flowers without even giving it a second thought.

However, beautiful as flowers are, creating a floral display on multiple tables can sometimes become expensive. Now, don't fret if having a grand floral centerpiece will put you over your budget. Just take a look at these fabulous budget friendly alternatives.

Fruit
When it comes to centerpieces, we usually see fruits taking on the supporting role. Don't underestimate the star power of the fruit. With the wide variety of fruit in an assortment of colors, there are many directions you can take with nature's sweets. They can add a nice splash of color that could light up a room just as well as any flower.

It's 'All about You'
Instead of having your guests fawn over a floral display, how about using your centerpiece to reinforce you and your love as the day's focal point...your wedding day IS all about you. Have different portraits set up with some trivia about you. This is a nice personal touch and a great way to share more about your journey as a couple with your guests.
