This centerpiece was not from a wedding, but my friend Lauren and I had to decorate a table for our  WBN charity event. She and I collaborated on our table concept and design. I thought some of you Brides might enjoy the centerpiece and color scheme we came up with. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

THE BREAKDOWN:

The books are from a thrift store. They were $1.99 but if you go to an estate sale you can get them cheaper!

The flowers and vases are from Michael’s Crafts (totaled around $8 for all of that).

The pieces at the bottom and right are custom bookmarks- a collaborative graphic design between my intern (a.k.a. brother) and myself. The bookmarks were designed with inspiration from the fabric and a little button (purchased at Joanne Fabrics) to add a little touch of vintage charm.

The fabric squares are from Joanne Fabrics. For a wedding you may want to finish the edges by sewing them OR attaching the same ribbon around the trim of each fabric square to tie it all together. The fabric can be re-purposed for many things. One thought I had was to place them in a 10×10 matted frame for home decor.

This entire table decor, centerpiece, and favor was done for under $30.
