DIY Elegant Pearl and Calla Lily Wedding Centerpiece For Less

Pearls and calla lilies mixed with lighted candles are a beautiful combination you will adore for your elegant wedding. This DIY Elegant Pearl and Calla Lily Wedding Centerpeice was made with Dollar Tree products to have the elegance you want on a budget. Can’t afford real flowers? No problem, these real touch calla lily flowers have the appearance of real flowers at a fraction of the cost.

I also give you two options when completing this wedding centerpiece.

Option 1: Use the 9 inch, 7 inch, and 8 inch vase from the Dollar Tree, calla lilies, and other supplies and pay a total of $20.39.

Or you can go for option 2, using the same items except you would use a 12 inch vase, 9 inch vase and 7 inch vase. The 12 inch vase is not at the Dollar tree so your total would be $27.88. Please note, I purchased the 12 inch vase from Hobby Lobby when it was on sale for 50% off. So it’s up to you what vases you want to use and how much money you have in your budget to spend.

So let’s get started! For video instructions, please check out the video tutorial below!

How To Make a DIY Elegant Pearl and Calla Lily Wedding Centerpiece

Directions:

STEP 1: Add water gel beads and pearls to the 12 inch, 9 inch, and 7.25 inch vases. Fill each vase about a quarter of an inch full with water, making sure the water gel beads are completely covered. Wipe any excess water that may have splashed with a paper towel inside the vase.

Cut the Calla Lily Stems

STEP 2: Determine the length you want each calla lily to be by measuring them with a ruler. Then cut the stems with a wire cutter and remove the wire. For me, in the 12 inch vase,  I have the longest calla lily at 13 inches and then the other two calla lilies slightly shorter to create a stairstep look. If you want all your flowers at the same length, that is perfectly fine. It entirely depends on the look you are going for.

Repeat Step 2 For The 7.25 inch Vase and the 9 inch Vase

STEP 3:For the 7.25 inch vase you will add two calla lilies at 2 1/2 inches and 4 1/2 inches. In the 9 inch vase, add 6 inch and 4 inch calla lily stem flowers.

Tip: Use real touch articificial flowers. These flowers have the appearance of real flowers at the fraction of the cost. 

THE FINAL STEPS

STEP 4: Place the candles in the long-stem glass tealight candleholders and light the candles.
