Here’s a hint- you don’t have to blow even more money on your wedding for your special day to stand out from all the rest. Having nuptials where guests are practically drowning in flowers is no longer the rule. Brides can take liberties with their reception décor and add touches that reflect their own personalities, because, hey, floral isn’t for everyone. (gasp!)
Here are a few of my favorites:
1) Wine bottles: Because, who doesn’t love wine? For those of you that are especially enthusiastic about the beverage, wine bottle centerpieces are a great way to show it. (And let’s be honest, you probably won’t have to drink any more than you usually do to collect enough for the big day.)
Make it special: You can easily decorate the bottles by spray painting them to match your wedding colors or wrapping them in twine for a rustic look. Then, you can place flowers, wheat or even branches in the bottles to complete the look. Bonus: use the corks to fill up vases to add to each centerpiece.
2) Vintage books: Are you and your fiancé big bookworms? Or just wish you were? Stacked book centerpieces add a lovely and vintage vibe to the table. Bonus: You can purchase old books for just cents on the dollar at flea markets and used book stores. May require digging.
Make it special: Rather than just having a plain stack of books, add an extra element, like some rosebuds in a mason jar or some pearl strands strewn about (as pictured above).
3) Candy bouquet: Got a major sweet tooth? So do we. This creative bouquet serves a dual purpose- it dazzles the eyes and satisfies serious sugar cravings. Bonus: Its edible.
Make it special: You don’t have to stick with just lollipops. You can fill vases with whatever your favorite treat is and it will look beautiful. (Mike and Ikes look awesome, by the way.)
Don’t be afraid to come up with your own centerpiece ideas! It’s your day, so make it yours.
