Easy Centerpiece Ideas

Easy Centerpieces for the Non-Crafty Bride

This section is all about simple do-it-yourself. I am non-crafty myself, so I actually bought the supplies and put together the total of 25 1/2 different centerpieces below. The "1/2" is because my daughter, Amarette had to do the rosettes on the burlap and lace mason jar centerpiece. She took all the photos, too. Aside from the already-mentioned rosettes, the cupcake bouquet is the most difficult. I ran into a few bumps, which I explain.

For the non-crafty bride: I am non-crafty myself, so I came up with these following an easy premise, which is simply (a) take a vase or other container; (b) put in flowers, candles, food, or other pretties; and, optionally (c) add decor under and/or around.
