Centerpieces - Cost and Quantity

I bought mine used off of kijiji... I still need to add some final touches to make them "complete" to my liking, but so far I've paid $100 for 15 tables

This is going to vary widely depending on what type of centerpieces people use.

I'm not sure how much mine will be yet. They will be floral in tall vases and short. These can be pretty pricey but it depends on the type of flowers, how many, type of vase, etc. What are you planning on doing for centerpieces?

I bought flowers off of afloral.com -- got 177 12" roses for $163, but my venue provides vases, circular mirrors, and votive candles. The number of RSVPs will determine how many flowers will be at each table, but I'm aiming for about 30 tables.

I believe ours are $250 per centerpiece. I think we'll have 7.

We have 12 tables so we are doing 6 high ($250 each) and 6 low at ($150 each)

Pretty much nothing. We are using antiques that we own and borrowing from family. It cuts costs down and personalizes a bit more. And instead of large arrangements, we're doing bud vases and succulents.

Thanks everyone! @A-lynn17 I am doing something like this photo shows - white tray w/ sand inside, clear hurricanes, floating candles, and starfish/shell accents. My mom and I have finally found the perfect size trays which are $20 apiece. Then I got to thinking about how much each of these would cost when all is said and done and was wondering how much other people are spending! Not sure if I will try to find a similar, cheaper tray or just go with it.

I'm a wedding floral designer...it REALLY depends on what you want.

If you DIY, I'd say anywhere from $10 up, but for $10 it's not much

For low centerpieces from a florist, I'd say likely $35 - 150, depending on the container, and if you are having premium flowers (hydrangea, peonies, callas, garden roses, etc). There are some gorgeous footed faux mercury vases out there that are pricey even for the florist to get.

Tall centerpieces usually start at $125; but a lot of the really lush ones you see on pinterest are $350-500.

So - as you can see, quite a range.

Best wishes!

I'm spending about 50 on each table. I will have 20 tables. My theme is antique travel so it includes a lot of yard sale finds and diy items.

That is a beautiful centerpiece

Mine will probably be about $15 a table. We need about 17

Our Venue does custom centerpieces to match our colors.

8" square box is $65 and 10" is $85. We have 22 tables.

I spent $600 on all of our decor and flowers from the reception, bouquets and boutonnieres. All DIY. We opted for preserved flowers instead of fresh and we will have 10 tables.

$25 for 8 low vases of hydrangea, roses and stock. I bought the vases for $6 and gave them to florist to fill

Last summer exactly one year from my wedding date I went to the farmers market to see what flowers would be in season and how much I could expect to spend. I bought 3 bouquets for $25 dollars and split them up into 15 smaller vases and they looked perfect. I'm doing round and rectangular tables with flowers going all the way down and about 8-10 vases on each table. The vases I'm using are basically anything glass that I've come across over the last year: mason jars in various sizes, spaghetti sauce jars, jam jars, wine bottles, etc. all cleaned and either chalk painted or decorated with lace or twine, plus some cute vases that were reasonably priced from hobby lobby, Joanns, or Michaels. For 18 tables I'm looking at less than $300 for all my centerpieces!

We are doing all low centerpieces with fresh flowers and foliage. $250 each.

I know I could have done it cheaper (got quotes as low as $175), but my mom passed away while we were planning, and flowers/this florist were the part she was most excited about, so I splurged here.

We are having 3 different center pieces, the candle one will be 3 vases with pillar candles about $15 each table, a short floral centerpiece at $20 each and a tall floral at $40 each. We are using a florist that works with fake flowers and I got my vases from the dollar tree or 40% off from JoAnns and spray painted gold. I need about 25 tables so I tried to find cheaper centerpieces.

Our tall centerpieces were $139/ea. They were hydrangea, roses and baby's breath and that also includes the cost of the vase, which we purchased. We had 7 of these.

ETA: Incorrect price! I double-checked my contract.

To save costs, we repurposed the BM bouquets as the short centerpieces! They cost $45/ea and it saved us about $400. They were hydrangea, delphinium blossoms and baby's breath. There were also 7 of these.
