Outfitting your wedding with gorgeous centerpieces can bite a huge chunk out of your budget, but it doesn’t have to. DIY centerpieces are not nearly as hard as they might sound, and you can usually produce something beautiful on a small budget.
One of the easiest and cheapest ways to do centerpieces is to purchase curly willow or even long, tall branches. If you live in a wooded area, you can gather your OWN branches, leaves, pine cones, etc. Once you have enough, take some silver or white spray paint and cover all of the branches and leaves, then arrange them in vases. Too add some extra glamour, glue or hang small crystals from the branches, and arrange tea light candles around the base of the arrangement.
As another option, you can forgo the spray painting and just use bare branches, but drop a few flowers in for some color, as shown in the photo below. Gorgeous!

It is something that is so simple and classy, but I would never have thought of it.
