Jars and bottles of flowers are another simple, but effective centerpiece option. They work well lining long tables, perhaps interspersed with placed foliage, or as a trio on a round table. If you are not looking to stick to a budget, why not consider reusing your aisle ends to create this look? Popping them into vases is an easy way to repurpose them for the wedding breakfast.

5. A foliage runner
