I think we got it!
Alright Ladies! We have Finally made our final decision on Centre Pieces! They're easy and cute!
We Will be using potted Gerbera Daisies!
They are in 3 different colors, Red, Orange & Yellow!
They're costing us roughly $9 per plant and then $1.50 for the pot from Home Depot.
We will paint the pot's brown, and tie a ribbon around it which matches the ribbon on the invites. And them maybe paint a saying our the wedding date or something on them!
I'm just thrilled, these are costing us $15.00each less then our other centre pieces!!! YAY, It pays to look around! I couldn't have done it with out all your help!!!

That's REALLY cute!!!  I love them! You could use them as favors too unless you can't bear to part with them!
I thought about doing sunflowers or daffodils in pots but my centerpieces were given to me and I figured nothing's better than free.

I don't have a picture to show you but I just saw a pot that was decorated really cool. They just took a plastic pot like what you have in your picture. Then they filled the whole visible part with little bits of masking tape. Over that they rubbed brown shoe polish. The tape part took a little while but it didn't have to be neat or anything like that so you could do it while watching tv or something.
Anyway, the overall effect was really pretty. It looked like an old textured basket or pot or something like that. You'd never know that it was just tape and shoe polish. Then she didn't have to spend money on real pots either. I'll see if I can get a picture of what I'm talking about.
