Your guests will never guess these wooden starburst topiaries, from Studio Cultivate and featured on Ruffled, are just toothpicks and styrofoam balls.
Paper flowers, like this colorful bouquet from Real Simple, can be made way in advance of the big day.
You can also make massively oversized paper flowers for a really modern and romantic table. There's a tutorial here at the Rock Paper Scissors Events blog.
