I had 36 tables to decorate with only $40 dollars to spend on decor. Crazy right? For the center piece I came up with a super simple, yet classy idea of a mason jar, cranberries, fresh pine,  water and a cute burlap tie.

We had the tables covered in white paper, then ran a green paper down the middle for the table runner. That’s it! Super simple and we stayed under our $40 budget. It looked really nice too.
