Looking for affordable Wedding Reception centerpieces and ideas you can make yourself? Here are five simple projects that make beautiful Wedding Reception centerpieces using your college or university as the inspiration! So, no matter where you went to college you can incorporate these ideas! 
All of the materials are super affordable and should allow you to make a nice large Alma Mater Wedding Reception centerpiece. These are all great for a long dinner table that needs quite a bit of decoration in the middle to fill it up.
You can make a beautiful and simple affordable centerpiece put of some simple Pom pom strands, Candles and a Platter. Simply look through your closet for some left over pom poms from your college football games. You could also buy some large pom poms in your college or university colors at the local arts and craft store.
Cut the strands of the pom pom off close to the handle. Lay them out in a border on your large platter. Place you candles in the middle of the platter. Use candles that match one of your Alma Mater's colors.
If you do not have enough large platters, then try asking your bridesmaids and wedding guests if they would not mind lending you theirs.

For a more formal and colorful affordable Wedding Reception centerpiece you will need: Glass Jars, Candles, Miniature flowering plants in your school colors, and some Ribbon (Optional). Place your pillar candles in the glass jars. Pour in some sand around the candles. Now, place your small flowering plants inside. I recommend using two colors of flowering plants. One in white and one in red if your Alma Mater colors were white and red.
You can leave them in mini terra cotta plans or temporarily plant them in the sand. You can add more detail with some ribbon that matches your Alma Mater color scheme.
You can use any type of flowering. This fits well into a College or University themed wedding.
