Liz at Silver Charm Events shared some new ideas for keeping wedding costs in line.
When the World Gives You Lemons…Make Wedding Centerpieces out of them. The ultimate in organic, eco-friendly weddings – Stacie over at Blogger Brides talks about using fruit in your centerpieces and decorations. (LOVE this idea, especially if you buy the fruit in bulk. Perhaps you can arrange a deal with a vendor at your farmer’s market or stop by Costco. -Julia)
New Favor Idea Alert – Recyclable Canvas Tote Bags. You can use them for out-of-town guest gift bags, plain, or spice them up with a pretty stamp on front. And Cheap Totes has them for 99 cents each, can’t beat that. Thanks for the head’s up, Wedding Bee!
If you are in LA and planning a wedding, Liz has a Recession Bride’s Workshop this Sunday, Oct. 4 from 1-3 p.m. Its $10 each or $15 per couple, but you can get a $5 discount using code WedCharmFive at checkout – special for Bargain Babe readers. I’m going out of town or I’d be there!

Using in-season elements and items from nature are great ways to make cheap centrepieces. Leaves, pinecones, seashells, rocks, fruits, and vegetables can all make lovely centrepieces.
