reception centerpieces

While trying to do a wedding for less than a trillion dollars, flowers can become a road bump. Silk ones were a big help on our bouquets, but I wanted fresh arrangments for the centerpieces. The perfect solution: the simple elegance of baby’s breath.

We stuffed mason jars with big bundles of baby’s breath and my DIY table numbers.

The jars were also the hiding place for the weights to keep our big balloons anchored.

I loved our little big party. I still can’t believe it was all for us! And now, after all this centerpieces chatter, let’s view an embrace between me and BFF Elysia after her toast to me and my groom. This photo gets me teary every time. I sure do love that girl. A moment between loved ones sponsored by: baby’s breath.

Hi Rachel,
This is simply beautiful! I can see why so many people would want to share such a special day with you, YOU’RE AWESOME! I don’t know you personally but I feel like I do simply from reading your blog, which I’m obsessed with!
Thank you for sharing all these neat tricks for money saving, I’ll definitely use them one day. I love that it doesn’t appear that you cut corners at all. It really looks like a $25,000+ wedding.

Thanks for being great,
Amanda
