    Here’s a fun and beautiful floral centerpiece that would look lovely for a holiday wedding. Fill a glass vase with cranberries for a festive touch. Cranberries are a staple for the holidays, but few of us know them other than as a relish or jelly. They will hold stems in place for about a week. Use hard cranberries and wash them well before submerging in water. The beautiful white flowers really make the cranberries pop. These would look gorgeous at a holiday wedding. If you are not getting married in December, this centerpiece would also be attractive for a wedding using a red and white col...

    Flowers are one, if not two things 1) expensive and/or 2) a DIY challenge…at least in my humble opinion.  And honestly, there aren’t a whole lot of bright floral colors happening in the Pacific NW in January anyhow. This is why we have opted for flower minimalism, especially when decorating our 18 or so tables!  My inspiration is this: {Photo via Wedding Bee Boards} I plan to have a single cylindrical vase on each table; which you can purchase in bulk from The Dollar Tree for, yes, $1 each!!!. I was thinking of renting vases or purchasing them for anywhere between $7-$10 each, but f...

    When I was trying to figure out my centerpieces, my florist gave me a low cost option. But I wasn’t too thrilled about it. I knew it would be inexpensive (about $130 for 20 tables TOTAL) but it would just be a low bowl with floating candles and 2 gerber daisies floating in the water. So I researched online for ideas and came up with something I am pretty excited about. I am going to create 4 paper flowers (1 green, 1 pink, and 2 white) and put them in tall vases with water beads. Are your centerpieces a floral alternative? Personal Photo Personal Photo...

    To save some money on her wedding budget, my friend is planning on making her own floral arrangements and centerpieces. She was talking about possible ideas the other day and since her wedding is not until the fall, she has plenty of time to start getting things together for them.  HGTV.com has a lot of great ideas on centerpieces for any time of the year and is a great jumping off point for when creating your own arrangements. The website also provides step by step instructions for lots of centerpiece ideas, although not necessarily for weddings, the ideas could easily work with a little b...

    These are some lovely ways to use fruit for decor. Using organic and/or locally grown fruit and then providing them to your guests as favors is a great way to have an earth friendly centerpiece. A good example is the pictures in the left hand column, both incorporating fresh apples. The pictures on the right hand side are from Better Homes and Garden's "Fresh Christmas Decorating Ideas," but I think they also offer great wedding inspiration, even if it's not during Christmas. I love the top right photo, where cranberries are placed in snow filled candle holders to line the steps into the hous...
