"Hi I'm Becky Sosa with StressFreeEvents.net. I'd like to talk to you about how to get a unique wedding centerpiece. There's definitely lots of things to consider. First off, what is the theme of your wedding and what are the colors of your wedding? In this case I've brought an example of a natural centerpiece. These are dried wheat that you can pick up at the floral department at any of your craft stores. I've weighted the bucket down with rocks so that it won't tip over easily. And then put the cracked wheat tied with the ribbon of color on it. At the same time I've used lentils and black beans to put in to hold the photos in place. The candles will still eliminate, you'll still get a traditional wedding feel but it's offset by using lentils and black beans. It's also a rather inexpensive way to have a centerpiece. These are definitely ways to have a unique centerpiece."
