I’m just not the crafty-type person at all. Not a big shopper either! So, I need your guys’s advice!
Here’s a link to what I’d like to throw together for my centerpeices.

The theme of the wedding is “rugged/elegant”. I love the centerpeices.
Do you guys think I’ll be able to throw this together for $20? I see I can order3 branches from this site for 6$, seems a bit much but then again I have no experience with this sort of stuff!

I’m sure it can be done. The biggest expense will be the vases, but you can often find them used on Craigslist. You might get lucky and find some locally.

The biggest cost in ordering glass vases online is the shipping.If you can scale down the height of your centerpiece you can get 7″ vases from your local Dollar Tree for $1 . They will even ship free to your local store.
If you want a tall centerpiece you will need a taller vase. You can get 14″ vases from save-on-crafts for $9 each.
This site has great prices for cylinder vases but you need to factor in shiping.
