You could always hire someone to make your wedding table centerpieces, but you can easily make decorative centerpieces much less expensively yourself. It just takes a few items from your local craft store and a little creativity on your part. You can make them to match your wedding theme and you can make them as formal and as elegant as you like.

Things You'll Need

• Glass beads or rocks
• Imitation flowers
• Vase
• Ribbon
• Rose petals
• Floating candles

Instructions

     Pour 2 cups of colorful rocks or glass beads into each vase.
