Wedding Decorations Rosamond CA

Wedding centerpieces can be very inexpensive. The following ideas include materials that aren't flowers but I thought you should know about them.

I hope these suggestions will stir up your imagination:

• Large bouquets can be made with big bunches of Baby's Breath only. It looks high end if it is large and makes a beautiful statement. For the head table you can do the same thing but add a few roses.
• If you have a gardenia bush that is in bloom when you're have your wedding, they would be outstanding floating in a pedestal bowl. Tie a satin ribbon around the pedestal. Use a color that coordinates with your wedding. Camellias are gorgeous used this way and make great wedding centerpieces. Oh, by the way, don't touch your gardenia petals or they will turn yellow.
• Fruit is inexpensive and can be made into lovely wedding centerpieces. Try to find fruit that isn't blemished. Stack it pyramid style in a glass bowl or on a pedestal glass stand. Frosted fruit makes a wonderful wedding centerpiece. Some fruits to use are; strawberries, figs, apricots, pears, plums, grapes, oranges, lemons, limes, apples, any berries, cherries, kumquats, cranberries and pomegranates that have been cut in half to show the beautiful seeds.

To do:

Use pasteurized egg whites found in cartons in the dairy section of the supermarket. Beat the egg whites until bubbles start to form. Paint fruit with a pastry brush dipped in the whites.

Sprinkle sugar on fruit with a sieve or roll fruit in sugar. Let dry completely on a cookie sheet or something similar before using. Raw cranberries may be put in a glass bowl and topped with frosted fruit. You can use cranberries in a glass vase also for a flower arrangement.
