Second Chance Prom

Prom...Memories...  

 Would you love to have a second chance to do it all over again?  A club I belong to is putting on a prom complete with a red carpet, a DJ, a celebrity guest, centerpieces, corsages - everything but a disco ball.

I was busy over the weekend creating some sample centerpieces to show to the committee this week.  Which one would you pick?

Swirled Elegance - A little scrap book paper, some wire swirls, crystals, flowers and we're ready to boogie!

Dollar Store Elegance - Create an elegant table setting for pennies (well, dollars).  Each person gets to take home the votive, complete with a battery operated flickering candle.

Candy Bar / Treat Centerpiece - I polled my facebook friends and so far this is the favorite - the base is a record, the bowl is created from a melted record and then I filled it with treats and tissue paper in the colors of the prom.

Making reunion centerpiece on the cheap (but NICE!)

Ask your friends...my friend had TONS of clear vases leftover from a wedding. Didn't cost me a dime.

Check out the after holiday specials - I got this really cool trim for 75% off at a after Christmas sale at Pier 1

The flowers are from Michaels - try to hang on until a sale comes along - I got these 40% off - just make sure you buy more than enough - I bought too early and when a ton more people signed up for the reunion I had to scramble to find similar flowers...lesson learned...

These cost me .15 cents each at the after Christmas sale...
