There are so many ways to express your personality as a couple at your wedding—Ree Drummond's brother belted out "Elvira" at her and Ladd's reception! But if you don't have a warbling brother in your wedding party, decorations are another great way to add a personal touch.As the focal point of your guest tables, centerpieces are often a great place to express yourselves. Set the tables—and the tone—for your wedding with these unique and creative DIY centerpieces that are sure to dazzle your guests.

As any spouses-to-be will tell you, centerpieces can take up a big portion of your wedding budget—but only if you let them! Thanks to these easy tutorials, topping your tables with chic DIY wedding centerpiece ideas has never been simpler or more affordable.
