I was curious to how much your centerpieces cost per table. Obviously, the price will be different from person from person because of flower costs, etc. I'd just like to get an idea of what to expect! TIA!

Our centerpieces do not have flowers at all, because we are doing beach themed all the elements are sand, glass, candles & shells.

Mine are $0.00. For all of them. One of the benefits of having your wedding two days before Christmas -- the venue is already decorated. Of course, they said they would take down the decorations and centerpieces if I wanted to use my own, but theirs are nice and I'd rather spend the money on something else. :)

I think ours are $25-35 each. I'll check when I get home.

An average range for centerpieces can be as low as 5.75 each consisting of 2 votive and Ivy, hmmm 285.00 each or higher.

Ours were less then $10. We used glass hurricanes with a candle, rose petals, and votives.

I'm embarrassed to admit this but mine will be between 50 to 75.00 each :blush:

Ours were about....$7 - $8 each. I bought clear glass hurricanes when I was working at an awesome store here, so they came out to be around 3.50 with my discount. Two bags of glass beads at 88 cents each, a candle for a buck, and a yard of ribbon for a bow (about a buck). They looked great!

My aunt did a flower arrangement for the head table. Not a clue as to how much that was!

We didn't have any flowers in the middle of the table, that's where the table name went. Each table was named after a place we visited in England when I went to meet DH for the first time.

Each place setting had one red and one ivory rose tucked in the black napkin, on an ivory tablecloth. So - for a table of 6, it was about $12 just for the flowers. I won't count the cost of favors and menu cards, because that's not what you are asking about here, but that stuff was part of the table decoration as well.

I just met with my florist this past weekend and the centerpieces are going to be between 35-45 each. Much less than I thought it would be!

Mine are less than $15 total for all 12 of them- I bought 12 inch diameter cardboard circles (they are for putting cakes on to display them) from Michaels for about $5, and covered them with aluminum foil. I picked fall leaves out of our yard, microwaved them to dry them and preserve the color, them sprayed them with an acrylic sealer. I then used spray adhesive to stick the leaves to the foil circles, and our neighbor is giving us 12 pumpkins to put in the middle of each circle of leaves. We also have scented pinecones to scatter around the pumpkins. So all told, about $15 for materials.

I love that idea! Do you have pictures?
