Good morning everyone!! I’ve got 4 months to go and I’ve been stressing over the centerpieces the most during this entire planning process. It’s crazy!!!!
I won’t get into it here, but since we all know how the budget can change for certain parts of the wedding, our centerpiece budget went from (
) to (
) , so I needed to get creative without causing even more stress to myself. Long story short, I finally found and ordered natural touch calla lily arrangements for our tables last night from Wayfair for $46 a piece with free shipping!!
They’re 20″ in height, and there’s a dozen lilies in there. They have them in different colors as well… We’re going to jazz them up a bit (at fi’s request) by adding a submersible light and clear beads in water to them, as well as scattering beads on the table… Since we already have the beads from another bride, we’re set and I just have to order the lights.
So for those of you who are looking for affordable arranged centerpieces that are really no fuss, I hope this helps.

Here’s a link to the search on their site for all the arrangements. There’s so many to chose from..

Update: I ordered these on Sat- the first batch was delivered yesterday and the second today. They look great and just need to be shaped. The stems are straight and I played around with them a little yesterday and they can be bent to shape.
I’m very pleased!

Hi girls,
I did a mock up of the table tonight with these. The light is actually a UV purple. My phone makes purple look blue.. Here’s with the flash on. The other two- without.
!
Oh yeah- we’re going to add a fourth candle to the mix me thinks.

These look great! I was kind of skeptical when you said you were adding a light/beads (because it would be on top of the “fake” water, just wasn’t sure how that was going to look), but you were right on, they look great! Nice job.
Are you using real candles for the actual day-of and just set the false ones on top of them as a trial so you don’t burn it down beforehand?

@NAvery: Thanks!! And we’ll be using the candles, not the faux tops I threw on top. I just didn’t want to light the wicks, lol
