You can tone it down to pastel colors or stick with two colors, if it's more for a dinner party. However, going all out for Mardi Gras seems to fit best. Bright purples, golds and greens can incorporate it into a party cake, tablescape and even your flowers. Throwing this themed party will be a hit. Just add some beads and you have yourself a great Mardi Gras party.

One of the most available, inexpensive and underrated centerpieces is the rose or ivy bowl. It's a small "fish bowl" with a scalloped lip. It's the perfect size for a round or oblong table, used in groups or by itself.

You can come up with some really creative ideas for using rose bowls at your next party–whatever the occasion.

Here are some ideas:

1. Fill the bowl with blue colored water, about halfway up. Set a yellow rubber duck in the water and nest the bowl in a blue or yellow hand towel for a cute baby shower centerpiece.

2. Fill the bowl with water and add half or whole slices of lemons, limes and oranges and one brightly colored Gerbera daisy for a festive, summer party, wedding shower or birthday party.

3. Add iridescent marbles and a pink rubber duck and swirl pink satin ribbon around the base for a baby shower or little girls' birthday party.

4. Use sand or dirt and toy trucks for a boys' birthday party.

5. Add a simple votive candle, then tie a small part of a decorative hula skirt around the base  for a luau party.

6. Fill with cotton balls, a bottle or two of nail polish, emery board, clippers, etc. for older girls' slumber or spa party.

7. For a practical centerpiece, gather eating utensils, roll up with a napkin and tie with ribbon for a picnic or backyard barbeque.

8. The classic use: fill halfway with water and add a single-bloomed rose for a tea or garden party.

9. Add aromatic coffee beans and a white votive candle for a casual dinner party.

10. Fill with several princess wands and swirl a feather boa at the base for a princess birthday party.

We've all seen it: the television shows featuring sky-high arrangements, vintage silver, and hundreds of candles, all chosen by a wealthy bride. The wedding receptions are truly spectacular, often costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many of us sit and watch, thinking that we will never have something so great for our next event. However, with a little cash and a lot of creativity, you can bring high-end design to the centers of your tables!

The best place to focus when designing a reception or party are the tables where your guest will be sitting. Any table decorations you have will have the most impact because of their proximity. A little effort will goes a long way when it comes to table runners. This is the perfect place to establish a "mood" with lighting, decorations, or a chosen theme. Your wedding or party planner will have an arsenal of wonderful tips and tricks on hand to keep you below budget, but if you're going at it on your own here are a few ideas to try when decorating your tables:

Monochromatic Colors are Anything but Boring

Unless you're going for a bohemian or eclectic theme, sticking to a monochromatic color scheme will create a unified look from table to table and make your decor look chic, no matter what you use. Go to your local flea market, dollar store, or craft store and stock up on same or similarly colored candles, decorative balls, and other odds and ends. Having different shapes and textures intertwined will provide visual interest, while the monochromatic look unifies the decor.

A Little Sparkle Goes a Long Way

A little twinkle adds a much needed dose of whimsy to any table. On long, straight tables, pick up a few yards of stringed beads to run through the center. Ask your local florist to attach gems to the arrangements or sprinkle beads throughout the center. Use vintage brooches from a flea market to catch the light on napkin rings. Christmas ornaments with the hooks detached can complete a tablescape. Sparkle keeps guests' eyes busy and adds a touch of something special to your centerpieces.

Never Underestimate the Power of a Tea Candle

These little guys pack quite a punch when  gathered together on a table. These little lights add depth and dimension to your arrangements and provide ambiance to your tables. Run them down the center, circle them around floral arrangements, or float them in water.  Lighting is a huge part of any party decor. Mix in larger and smaller candles to make sure there is ample light and variety.

Go Big or Go Home

Every table needs a focal piece. A large floral arrangement or a large container is a way to add drama without breaking the bank. Fill glass cylinders with fruit, water, or beads and top them off with flowers. Get creative with containers; use barrels, tea pots–whatever you can find that fits the theme and your budget. Hire a professional florist to create simple, yet beautiful, arrangements.  This is probably one area that is best left to professionals. It is important that your flowers look neat, not sloppy. Save money in other areas, but leave the flowers to the pros.

Get Creative!

As always, using your imagination is the best way to save money while hosting an event. Dig through your closets, contact your local florist or wedding and party planner, and stick to your vision. Keep it simple, and keep it special by following these tips!
