Frugal Centerpiece - Champagne Glass Centerpieces

One of the simplest wedding reception centerpieces I can think of is a Champagne Glass filled with water and just the flower floating in it. You can float a single flower or as many as the glass will hold.

There are many variations of this centerpiece. You can use any glass, like a Margarita glass instead, use those. Any fresh flower will do, too. The bigger the flower the prettier it will look.

You don't even need the flowers..float tea light candles in it. Use a few drops of food coloring to color the water. I don't recommend using food coloring with the flowers though..it may stain them.

TIP: Can't afford even this idea? Don't use real glasses. Use the plastic party store champagne glasses and fill it with whatever you have. Heck fill them with drinks for the table and have them in a round circle in the middle..add berries.

Like this:


The drinks are the centerpiece. Fruit punch, champagne, sparkling juice, mixed drinks, anything will work. Use any type of fancy "toohthpick" or skewer... shove a few berries on it, place it over each glass and you are done. Or clip a piece of fruit to the side.
