Are you looking for some DIY centerpiece ideas for your wedding that will not break the bank? Try flower-free centerpieces! Sure, flowers are gorgeous, but they're not the only way you can dress up your reception tables. Check out these inexpensive DIY centerpiece ideas:

Branches – Arrange branches in a glass vase. Willow branches are ideal. Keep natural or spray silver or gold.

Potted Herbs – Place potted rosemary, lavender or thyme in pretty pots. Decorate pots with ribbon or paint pots to match wedding colors. This is a wonderful eco-friendly wedding idea.

Wheat – Earthy and beautiful. Wheat will look good with any color combination.

Fruit – For a summer outdoor reception, arrange lemons, limes, or clementines in a glass vase. For an autumn wedding use apples, pears (gilded pears look gorgeous) or gourds. For a winter wedding, use pomegranates or cranberries. Easy and inexpensive!

Illuminarias or Paper Lanterns -Use illuminarias or paper lanterns that match your wedding colors. Place several at each table.

Chocolate – Create an edible topiary with chocolate truffles. Give away the centerpieces to your guests at the end of the wedding reception.

Trees – Potted saplings can make wonderful centerpieces. Place in decorative pots.

Wheatgrass – Not only is wheatgrass uber healthy (the juice is supercharged with nutrients), it's so lovely to look at that it can be used for centerpieces at your wedding – and you can make them yourself! Just buy a wheatgrass kit and plant the seeds several weeks prior to your wedding.) You can also buy the wheatgrass seeds on their own and place them in a wooden container. There you have it – a fresh and inexpensive DIY centerpiece!
