Default Brides with Artificial Bouquets--Centerpieces... What did you do?

I really want to get an artificial bouquet so that I know it is something that I love. I am also really ocd about everything matching. I was planning on ordering my artificial bouquet and then additional stems so I could make matching centerpieces.

Am I crazy? What did you guys do for centerpieces. Did you just use whatever you could choose at your resort? Did you do something without flowers?

I used Angels Accents for the bouquets ... but didn't use flowers for centerpieces. I (and every other BDW bride that I know of) am 110% ecstatic about the quality, price and service of Angels Accents.

I think I am just crazy. I should just go ahead and only order bouquets and worry about the centerpieces later.

There are so many easy, affordable, DIY centerpiece ideas on here. I LOVED mine, and they were beachy instead of flowers.

Here's a pic. They cost me less than $3 each.

Thanks for the photos. I was looking in your review for your centerpieces!

(sorry Bianca :-))

I got the plates from the Dollar Tree ($1 each). They are plastic but really pretty, clear in the center and the color changes on the way to the rim to a aqua color. They had other colors as well.

Sand was straight from the beach at our reception site, lol. FREE

Seashells were ones I had simply collected over the years.

Starfish were off eBay ... got several different shapes and sizes in a big lot.

Votive holders and candles from Old Tyme Pottery. $1.99.

I re-used them for our AHR and still have them all to use again. I just love these centerpieces!!

Here are some AHR centerpiece pics:
