    Everyone raves about their fabulous steals from Dollar Tree. I'm determined to come up with centerpieces from Dollar Tree, but would love some inspiration! Please share!

    We used Dollar Tree vases to put our table numbers around.  They were the perfect size and turned out GREAT!

    I love this post :) Dollar Tree's marketing is really smart. I ordered river rocks. They are being sent to the store. We're picking them up in the town we are getting married in (destination).  It's so easy and no shipping or running around town trying to find things. We're going to use them on the aisle like this . . .

    I bought preserved orchids from Sav-On crafts. They are not as bright/colorful as the pic, but good enough.

    My florist wanted $500 for the aisle decor. We're able to do it for a small fraction of that (thankfully!!).

    @meerkat:  I don't remember exactly now (I did them last fall).  Each bunch of flowers had 12-15 flower heads (each bunch for $1).  I bought the foam balls at Hobby Lobby with a coupon so they weren't very much and the ribbon was also from Dollar Tree for $1.  I made two large ones (8" across) and six smaller ones (5" across) and I know it was less than $50 for everything.

    We used ribbon from Dollar Tree for the ribbons for the handfasting part of our ceremony.  They had good quality satin ribbon.

    What a great thread! I started getting all our flowers from DT but I noticed that the majority of them fell apart after a few days/week - not all of them but most so I turned to Michaels discounted fall decor for those.

    But the Dollar tree for vases, ribbon, pew bows, tulle, flower petals, candles, tea lights, favors! That's definitely my go to store for sure.

    I love these little favor basins - plastic white swans - they came in packs of 6 and were discounted at .25 cents for each pack!! I'll probably buy more tulle from there to package them up:)

    If you've never checked out their website either, it is a GREAT source for How-To DIY Project ideas. Has anyone ever tried to dye their white flower petals??

    i just made these tonight..funny that i found this thread also tonight..everything i used came from dollar tree..i might add a few more candles, maybe a different votive holder...the ribbon around the glass vase and the filler inside is actually black. it just looks brownish because of my cherry wood table. our colors are black, ivory, red, and teal. still working on how to get the teal on the tables.

    I found this on their website today while I was in the store and instantly fell in love. They didn't have the vase shown in the example so I just used a regular cylindar and paired it with another cylindar and a smaller votive holder. I plan to put them on a tile instead of a mirror to help cut costs a little more. Here's the project link http://www.dollartree.com/floral-decor/vases-bowls-containers/vases-bowls-containers/Craft-Idea-Glass-Hurricane-Vases/202c203c203e102/index.ens
