The Centerpiece

Although I’m on a budget, my wedding isn’t going to look like it was. One of the reasons why I fell in love with the vineyard setting for a venue (other than because we both like wine :-) is because the vines themselves are gorgeous.

I cut some vines and made a centerpiece for our dinning room table once and I plan to do something similar for my centerpieces. There is just so much that I could do with vines.

Although it is early in the planning process, I knew I wanted my centerpiece to include beautiful grapevines. Luckily, one of my bridesmaids has a family vineyard so during pruning time; they will save the vines for me.

I haven’t found a vase for them yet, but I will start looking. I did find some incredibly beautiful pebbles at Walmart and at Big Lots that will hopefully look good at the bottom of the vase. One of my bridesmaids, Kristine found the colors I wanted for $1.88 at Walmart and $1.50 at Big Lots. What a steal! The clear pebbles are from Big Lots and the teal ones are from Walmart. I’m going to mix the two together to get a blend of the colors. I’ll post more pictures of these with the vase when I get it.
