Rachel was so beautiful!!!!! She simply took our breath away with her beauty and grace. I'll post more pictures of her tomorrow...but would you like a sneak peek?
Since it is Kimba's DIY day, I wanted to post pictures of the Prom centerpieces. It is not easy making 16 centerpieces and only spending $150. Here is what I came up with.
I headed to Dollar Tree where I found 16 metal "like" containers for $1 each.
Our prom colors were black, silver, and purple so I chose to spray paint the containers black. I added a piece of floral foam (again from Dollar tree~3 squares for a dollar)
I found these beautiful purple daisies at my favorite place, Hobby Lobby, on sale for 50% off. Woo Hoo!! Hannah helped me pull off all of the leaves and then Rachel and I gathered 2 bunches together and wired them near the top of the stems:
We pushed the stems down into the floral foam and then grabbed some fabulous silver/glittery ribbon to tie a bow. I was perplexed as to how to weight the centerpieces without spending a fortune. I thought about crystals and marbles, but they were too expensive. Rachel and I headed to Lowes where we bought a huge bag of river rocks for $3~perfect!

How pretty! They turned out great, Kristi! Thanks for sharing that great idea. Your Rachel is gorgeous! Can't wait to see more photos. = )
WOW, Rachel looked stunning! Oh and those centerpieces, beautiful. I don't think I can make anything I find at the dollar store look so fabulous. I admire anyone who can turn normal stuff into pieces of art! Blessings!
Gorgeous picture of Rachel! Oh my! She's stunning!
And the centerpieces are wonderful.
Great job!

I would love it if you joined my "Saturday is Crafty Day" party on April 24th! Stop by my blog for details.
Wow! I loved this! I am in charge of our Prom this year and am looking for ways to create a centerpiece that is amazing but within our budget. Do you have any ideas for a "vintage circus" theme?? Nothing kiddie-- colors are crimson, white and gold. Any help/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!
