I came across a wonderful article on In Style Weddings. 6 Chic Decor Ideas (or 6 Ways to Save). Fabulous ideas that I couldn’t pass up on informing my readers. Enjoy!
Be Flexible on Flowers
You’ve just discovered the centerpiece of your dreams is prohibitively expensive. No matter. Think about the color, height and texture you’d like and ask your florist to suggest another option. French tulips may be your first choice, but gladioli would give you a similar look for half the price, says Jung Lee of Fete, an N.Y.C. planning service. And remember, you can get away with fewer stems if you display them dramatically. Rent tall containers, fill them with water, and submerge a few French tulips, cymbidium orchids or amaryllis, or a branch of berries inside, says Bill Heffernan of Chicago’s Flowers by Heffernan Morgan.

I especially like the flowers in the glass. Nice effect.
Another option for candles is to get some battery powered lights. They look exactly like candles without the whole flammable problem. If that doesn’t work for you and you don’t have the budget for large vases, simply slip a piece of paper around a votive and it will give the light more height.
Sarah – I agree with the problem with candles. You don’t want to be looking over your shoulder and worrying about small things such as candles on your big day!
