enterpieces on tables are like the icing on the cake or the trimming on the tree. They are a must! They set the tone for your gathering and when done right can even be the conversation starter at each table. After all, your guests see the table decor first and foremost and for the entire length of your party. It truly sits there staring at them. Why not wow them with something great that you can actual make yourself? Creating the ultimate do-it-yourself centerpiece to capture the theme of your wedding, whether formal or casual, can be tricky, especially if you are trying not to “break the bank.” So, I met with PJ Overvold, owner of O’ Design Event Decor Planning and Linen Rental, for some step-by-step tips on centerpieces that a bride and groom can do themselves. The initial process to arrange this centerpiece can take approximately 45 minutes to one hour (plus shopping time of course). The time needed for each sequential centerpiece lessens once a person gets the hang of it.
