Centerpiece numero dos!
I like mixing things up, so why not have some variety? I began thinking about having a second centerpiece when I couldn’t find any more tea sets from the first trial, pictured below, on sale.
I also thought it may be easier to give away two different sets than just one when the wedding is said and done. This too, started out differently:
I had intentions of including a tea tin to hold real flowers, but the tin’s red was a bit too orange for my liking. Since I decided to use the silk flower, I used the saucer to hold it instead. The varying height of the components work better with this set up. I also like how this second centerpiece complements the look and meets the same criteria as the first centerpiece.
Cost Breakdown:
* I bought six sets from HERE to get the bulk discount and I used a free shipping coupon (saved me 46%!)
** See details in cost breakdown from centerpiece #1
Cheap Tip: Always search for a coupon when shopping online
What do you think?
I love it! They’re really different and beautiful. I like that they’re pretty enough to add to the table, but they won’t get in the way - guests can talk over them easily.
I think having two different centrepieces is a great idea too.
SO cute and personal! I really love them - very elegant, but still funky. And I’m so impressed by the cost breakdown - dang!
No offence, I really like your posts you always give a very real budget and have fresh ideas BUT you’re going a little overboard with the BLUR effect.
the pictures are hard to appreciate that way, sorry.
>.<
@Sara: I agree, I love the idea of having multiple centerpieces made of the same ingredients. very cute
@just sayin’: I actually thought that myself when I did the post! lol. I love photography (though obviously not skilled in it), so I know exactly what you mean. Trust me though when I say that the pics are not worth much appreciation in the first place. It’s tough to make a harsh and boring photo of something you really want to show in the best light, to look less so… I really appreciate the honesty though!
