Instead of having the traditional flower arrangements as your centerpiece which usually comes expensive, a great low-budget alternative would be edible centerpieces. You can have cookies, mini-cupcakes, candies and fruits arranged attractively and invitingly for the guests. Aside from making the tables look festive, it will also provide delightful desserts to your guests. Here are some do-it-yourself edible centerpieces that would help you cut down your wedding expenses:
-
Fruits
Buy some fresh fruits, cut them or serve them directly. Place them inside a glass bowl, a wine glass, or a basket. If your caterer can arrange a centerpiece composed of fruits-on-a stick and wont charge you additional fees, then let them do the arrangement. If not, you can still do it yourself anyway.
-
Pastries and Sweets
Bake some cupcakes or mini-cakes, buy some simple sugar coated biscuits, or buy some sweet treats like candies, jelly beans or molded chocolates. But make sure to choose unbranded treats when buying because they come cheaper but basically tastes the same. Just be wise when picking the right treats. Or go to your reliable local bakery shops and buy from them. Remember, you can always bake them or make them yourself. Just look for simple recipe and do it yourself!

Try using different shapes of containers per table to amuse your guests. The fun part of having an edible centerpiece is that it will eventually keep your guests preoccupied while waiting for the program proper or while waiting for the meal to be served.
