The floating candles I ordered from Illuminations came yesterday, so I decided to put together a mock-up of our centerpieces.

We have approximately 17 tables. The ’sand’ is from the same 40 lbs of concrete mix that I used for the favors. The driftwood is from an eBay auction that I won for $10.50. The 9″ cylinder vases came from Sav-on Crafts and were on sale for $2.49 each. The ball jars I found on the street one day while walking with Mr. Corn in his neighborhood. The candles were $.50 each on sale from Illuminations (thank you Weddingbee for continually keeping me updated on crazy-go-nuts deals!). The water is from my sink
. The grass is from Nettleton Hollow, $25 for two bunches; and the shells were free from a lamp my mom used to have.
Total cost for 17 centerpieces: $86.33
Total cost each: $5.08
It was never on our radar to have floral centerpieces because we wanted something very New England Coastal… but from what I gather, I think we made out pretty well on the price. And I have every intention of selling the vases on ebay or craigslist when all is said and done, so they may end up costing us even less!
