We have approximately 17 tables. The 'sand' is from the same 40 lbs of concrete mix that I used for the favors. The driftwood is from an eBay auction that I won for $10.50. The 9" cylinder vases came from save-on-crafts.com and were on sale for $2.49 each. The antique ball jars I found on the street one day while walking with Mr Corn in his neighborhood (months before being engaged). The candles were $.50 each on sale from Illuminations (thank you Weddingbee for continually keeping me updated on crazy-go-nuts deals!). The water is from my sink ;). The grass is from Nettleton Hollow, $25 for two bunches; and the shells were free from a lamp my mom used to have.
Total cost for 17 centerpieces: $86.33
Total cost each: $5.08
It was never on our radar to have floral centerpieces because we wanted something very New England Coastal...but from what I can gather, I think we made out pretty well on the price. And I have every intention of selling the vases on e-bay or Craigslist when all is said and done, so they may end up costing us even less!
