Wedding Centerpieces

With only 55 days left till the wedding, we are officially at crunch time. All the things that are left to do, really need to start getting done. This includes my DYI wedding centerpieces. I really want to get as much done in the next few weeks as I can, that way I'm not completely stress out right before the wedding.

Awhile ago, I wrote about my plans for my wedding shower centerpieces; however, I didn't end up making those for the shower because Sam's mom bought her own. So, I'm making sure that I get some use out of the vases I bought. With that said, I have already gone ahead and made one of my wedding centerpieces with them. (How I made these will come in a later post.)


The colors I'm using for my wedding are black, purple, and silver. So these have a little bit of all my colors in this one centerpiece. 


I really like how these turned out, but I love when there a few different types of centerpieces at a wedding. Also, I love when there is a mix of different heights between the centerpieces as while. So now my challenge is to try to get all my centerpieces (I think I'll be having 4 to 5 different centerpieces throughout the room) to look like they "go" together.

For my wedding shower gift my mom bought me 3 other types of vases to use for my centerpieces. So here are the other vases I'll be working with....




My mom bought 6 of each of these vases. Plus, I still have 12 of the vases I bought for my shower giving me 30 centerpiece (if needed).

Currently, I have ideas for the first two vases but the "fish bowl" is the where I'm having a hard time figuring out what I'm going to do with it. I know I'll figure something out. I just hope I get an idea here in the next week or so because time is starting to run out.

Question: Did you/ would you try to make your own centerpieces?
