What you'll make
Each centrepiece is a cluster of three glass jars, each with a lace band, a jute twine bow and a handful of fresh gypsophila. The jars come from a 12-pack and the trim costs a few pence per jar, so the flowers and lace are most of the bill. You can make them all two days before the wedding and keep them in a cool room.
