DIY Centerpieces

So in an attempt to save money, I thought I'd attempt to do my own wedding centerpiece.

Vase: Free (my aunt has a bunch of these that we can use)
Roses: 1 dozen for $15 (they were on sale today for $10) (1.25 each)
Daisies: 1 bunch for $3 (25 cents each flower)
Wax Flowers: 1 bunch for $3 (75 cents each centerpiece)
Japanese Box Wood: Free from my yard

My total cost for this centerpiece:
3.75 for roses
75 cents for the daisies
75 cents for the wax flowers
Free = Japanese Box Wood

Total: $5.25 each centerpiece

Score!

So what do you think it looks okay?

Should I be a florist?? :) or should I not quit my day job?

Aaron's Dad also gave me a big box of those clear and blue gems. I don't know if I'm going to put them on all the tables or if I'm just going to use them on the other tables like guestbook table, cake table etc.
