Bamboo Centerpieces?

I was brainstorming some non-expensive DIY centerpieces... I am really ticked about paying for flowers that are going to die in a week so I thought why not do bamboo centerpieces they don't die (if you take care of them) and double as great favors so I was thinking this...



Buying Bamboo stems and cutting them into 3 sets of 3 different heights. Then, buying three different height squared vases and fill them up with wedding color crystals) and doing the following...



Each table would have 3 square centerpieces of different heights.



The tallest vase would include crystals with 3 bamboo stems and I would add 3 stems of orchids to add color and definition.



The medium vase would include crystals and 3 Bamboo stems and I would add 5 roses tied together down the stems with a colored ribbon.



Then the smallest vase would be 3 bamboo stems and 3 lilies placed on the corner.



What do you guys think? I know it may be a little difficult to visualize but would also like you opinions. I think this is an affordable easy DIY project with lots of height and variation with little flowers as possible therefore it won’t be such a large flower expense.



FYI- My colors are pink and green (inspired by orchids I love orchids) and the ceremony is on a ranch style home outdoors with a ceremony outside by a fountain. And the actual reception under a large gazebo with a beautiful wood detailed roof.



My fiancé and I are also very simple laid back outgoing people.

Bamboo Centerpieces?
Sounds original and gorgeous. Have a perfect wedding and an even better marriage.
Reply:The bamboo sounds so pretty and a great idea for people to take as thank you gifts!



Sounds like you're off to a great start in your planning!
