Would you love to get married, but worry about spending too much money? There are tons of ways to celebrate your nuptials without surpassing a tight budget. In fact, a little creativity can really help when it comes to putting together centerpieces, favors, and even decorations for your big day. You can still marry the one you love, even if your funds are currently a bit tight.

Create Your Own Sparkling Centerpieces

Instead of purchasing expensive centerpieces for each table that your guests will sit at during the reception, you can make your own using glass mason jars, glitter spray paint, and some artificial flowers. You can pick a bunch of artificial flowers out at the dollar store. They normally have a large selection of flowers at such an affordable price. If you cannot find them in your local dollar store, the craft store should have them.

All you would really need to do to make these centerpieces is apply spray paint to the outside of each glass mason jar, wait for it to dry, and then stuff the inside of the jar with the beautiful artificial flowers. It is a simple way to make centerpieces without spending a lot of money. Buying the jars in bulk will help you save even more.

Put Together Some Fun Party Favors

The type of party favors you choose to make will depend on your exact budget. You may want to buy miniature wine bottles in bulk that you can pass out to your guests. You can normally get those miniature wine bottles at a discounted rate for your wedding, especially if you are buying a large amount of them at once. However, if you are looking to spend even less than that, you can create some fun party favors using miniature glass jars with lids and a candy of your choice. You can fill the jars up with some candy, such as chocolate kisses or jelly beans. After you put the lids on the jars, you can tie ribbon around them to make them look even more decorative.

While you may still want to hire a wedding planner to help with certain aspects of your wedding, creating your own centerpieces and favors will help you save money. There is no need to spend thousands of dollars on these items when you can make beautiful favors and centerpieces at home at a fraction of the cost. Even if you are sticking to a budget, you can still have the beautiful wedding you have envisioned since you were younger.
