Beautiful Rose Centerpieces on a Budget

Well the economy has taken a little hit in recent weeks/months - but it's definitely not the time to panic or stop the small things that give you pleasure.

Entertaining can provide a welcome relief from the stress. Gather those around you that you care about and spend time talking and laughing.

With just 6 items (some you may already have around your home) you can create a variety of centerpieces that will work for many different kinds of events, such as Valentine's Day, Wedding Shower, Birthday Celebration, Baby Shower, etc.

6 Inexpensive Items You Can Do So Much With!
Small Square Glass Vases (Approx. $2.99)
Round Glass Votives ($1 - $2/piece)
Roses (Around $15 a bunch at your local grocer)
Feathers (Under $2 a packet)
Craft Jewels (Approx. $3.99 a packet)
Inexpensive Organza Fabric

Here are a couple of ways to put these items together:

Stacked square vases with 1 rose bud take centerstage.

Scattered feathers, gems and clear votives surround the vases.

Stringing rose petals make for a stunning napkin ring.

All of this is set atop an iridescent organza fabric.

By switching things around a bit, you can have a different look:

Feather votives jazz up the look.

They surround a simple square vase with clumped rose stems.

Gems glitter atop the iridescent organza fabric.

While I've chosen all pink, the colors can all be changed to fit the look you want.

Use yellow roses with white feathers and yellow and gold gems.
Or
White roses with peacock feathers and pick up a gem color from the feather - blue perhaps.

Have fun with this. I hope it encourages you to realize that you CAN entertain affordably. Have other ideas - send me a comment.

Take Care,
