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... |
Filed under: ReceptionsDining by candlelight is as romantic as it gets; everything (and everybody!) looks better bathed in a candle's soft light. There are many ways to incorporate candles in your wedding - you can even make your own! If you're not crafty, consider a grouping of elegant glass tea light holders as a centerpiece - vary the height and shape for interest, and make sure that the containers will protect the flame from drafts.The Pixie and Piper candleholders from Crate and Barrel would work beautifully as a centerpiece. It's unabashedly romantic without being too precious, perfect 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... |
Our beautiful centerpieces were yellow and white roses, by Anthony Brownie. The tables were also adorned with old books that belonged to my late grandfather. Tables were covered with white lace overlays and dishes inscribed with The Harvard Club logo.... |

Whether your wedding is held by a lake, beach, river or nowhere near the ocean, you can still bring the water with you when you’re ready to say “I do.” Having a dreamy, watercolor blue wedding can be a beautiful and memorable experience. One way to bring this theme to life is by incorporating water elements to the decor. Instead of floral arrangements, consider fishbowl centerpieces. The natural beauty of these displays will surely entertain your guests and serve as great conversation starters. Instead of breaking the bank on flowers, you may be able to save a bundle by pur... |
Centerpieces are the focal point of your wedding reception tables, the item on the table that you can guarantee every guest will look at at least a few times during the reception. Why not give them something amazing and extremely creative to gawk over? Centerpieces also serve as great conversation pieces. photo credit: allegrophotography.com This beautiful centerpiece has an element of surprise with what appears to be flowers resting on a bed of candles.

Photo: Courtesy of Steven Bruce Design A dose of pretty for your day: I love the sweet, garden-y sensibility of this springtime bouquet and centerpiece, both created by Steven Bruce Design. The bouquet includes freesias, stock, dusty miller, jasmine vines, raspberries, green brunia, lisianthuses, scented geranium, ranunculuses, waxflower, roses, tulips, succulents, and calla lilies, tied together with wool yarn. (I think the design would look particularly fetching with one of the gowns in Anthropologie's new BHLDN line.) The mini terrarium centerpiece features moss, rock shards, lisi... |
