When planning a wedding, most brides focus first on the church, lining
it with flowers and ribbons. By the time costs for the wedding are
taken care of many couple's find that they are skimming close to their
budget. It's good know that the centerpiece decorations at your
reception can not only be inexpensive, but tasteful and original.

Try this idea and score a perfect ten for creativity when planning
your centerpiece decorations. Start by buying cute small frames as you
see them on sale. Insert photos of you and your groom growing up
through the years. Guests will not only love the originality of the
idea but they will also get to see what you both looked like when you
were younger. Of course, if they have known you your entire life, then
this will give them a chance to reminisce about you.

If you are planning on a fall wedding use baskets and terra cotta pots
to add a fall touch to your centerpiece decorations. Fill the baskets
and pots with tiny pumpkins, apples, corn stalk and gourds. This will
add that little extra touch to the season while filling your table
with inexpensive decorations.

For a more romantic look, use inexpensive single fish bowls. Fill
these centerpiece decorations with water, which can be colored with
liquid dye, and add a floating candle. You may also find inexpensive
artificial flowers that can be snipped at the tops and laid around the
candles. This will create the mood of romance and add candlelight to
each of your tables.

For a Christmas time wedding, use poinsettias and gold ribbons for
centerpiece decorations. If you have extra money to spend, buy
miniature Christmas trees and decorate them with lights and wedding
charms for ornaments, which can be found at most bridal decoration
stores. Place the trees in the middle of the table and let the guests
try and guess what meaning each of the charms hold!

Let your guests get involved in your first day as man and wife by
using paper and pens as a centerpiece decoration. Buy decorated paper
and pens, placing them at each sitting. Leave instructions for the
guests to give you the best marital advice they can. You may also have
the guest make up a love poem to give you. This will get them involved
and also give you a keepsake to read on your honeymoon. You may also
add a long-stemmed rose at each place setting that they can take home
with them.

A popular trend added to centerpiece decorations are disposable
cameras with ribbons and bows tied around them. You can also type a
note to hang from the camera letting guests know to take pictures
throughout the night and then place the cameras inside a designated
box as they leave. Just imagine the different photos you will have
once the film is all developed.

No matter what you choose as centerpiece decorations, you can create a
mood and atmosphere that represents your style, at an inexpensive
price. So, hang balloons from the ceiling, let the cameras start
clicking and begin your life together with friends, family and a lot
of good times.
