How do you center an error message created with BootstrapValidate?

First time using bootstrap and first time asking a question on stackoverflow! I am creating this mockup with forms for email, subject and message. I am also using bootstrap validator to get error messages to pop-up (like ""). but they appear all the way to the left of the window. Anyone know of a way to get the below the input box? Or even above the input box? Like if where says "Email" I would like the error message that says "Please enter a valid email" to pop up right next to it. I've included the html and css. Hopefully I did it right. Thanks!

Use Bootstrap class "text-center" in class attribute of an element.
