When creating budget wedding centerpieces, do not think they have to look generic or cheap to stay within your budget as there are many different ways one can go about doing them.

Here are a few ideas to help.

One popular tip that looks extremely elegant and sophisticated but does not cost a great deal is doing large centerpieces that feature bouquets of baby's breath. You can feature them in clear vases or color tinted vases featuring one of the primary colors you have chosen for your wedding. For the head table you can add that extra something by putting in a couple of long stemmed roses or adding some extra ribbon for detail.

Another great choice for budget wedding centerpieces include large bowls with floating candles. You can find a great assortment of floating candles in different shapes as well as many different colors. For an extra, inexpensive touch you can opt to put some pretty colored stones in the bottom of the bowl. You can find these stones in craft stores and they are very cheap and can be reused for other occasions if you want.

Fruit is an excellent choice for a centerpiece. You will want to find pieces that are fresh and not bruised or damaged. You can set them up in a colorful bowl, platter or pile them in a unique shape such as a pyramid. Accent them with a couple of large bows or ribbons and it makes a festive centerpiece.

Decorative boxes are another excellent choice for cheap centerpieces. You can fill these with a number of things from colored stones, potpourri or flower petals. The flower petals can be real or fake all depending upon your own personal taste and choice. The decorative boxes can also be used over again for storage or holding special wedding mementos.

For those who are choosing a Christmas wedding you can make a beautiful centerpiece with a couple of inexpensive ornaments and some pine cones. You can choose from specially colored ornaments and personalize them by putting the couple's name as well as the date of the wedding on them and set them on a decorative plate or lay them on the table next to some pine cones you can purchase at craft stores. To really add an elegant touch to the pine cones you can spray some gold or silver paint on them.
