"GREEN" Centerpieces

I've had a little extra time to get projects done this week with my 2nd snow day in a row. As of right now we have used 5/6 snow days. 2 more snow days and I will be in school the week of the wedding. I'm thinking the chances of that are pretty good! All the more reason to get things done now, right?

Today I put together my centerpieces, minus the supplies I will need to get at the time of the wedding. Here's a breakdown of my centerpieces which are both "green" and very budget friendly.

SUPPLIES:







Vases borrowed from my sister-in-law = FREE







Grass/Spring Greens from Yard = FREE







Water = FREE







Log Discs from Downed Trees = FREE









Mirrors borrowed from my sister-in-law = FREE 






Rocks from Family Camp = FREE







Floating Candles = $1 EACH







Recycled/Organic Twine = $4.99 for 200'







Buttons = LEFTOVER FROM BOUQUETS











That's a total of $17.99 and an average of $1.50 per centerpiece!!!! The only item that is not reused/recycled (insert Jack Johnson's 3 R's song here) are the candles. As for what I'm doing with these materials...happy guessing! You will see them at the wedding!
