Wedding is a once in a life-time opportunity and centrepieces form a major part of the decoration. Centrepieces help set the theme of the decorations and bring extra decorations to the room. A centrepiece also refers to any central or important object in a collection of items.
On the table, a centrepiece is a central object which serves a decorative purpose. However, centrepieces are often not too large, to avoid difficulty with visibility around the table and to allow for the easier serving of dishes. Following are the ideas for wedding reception centerpieces on a budget.
Matte painted bottles: I am obsessed. "Matte" is all the rage right now (I'm sure that by this time next year we'll all be obsessed with glossy things) and tuning found bottles into rustic vases in your color scheme couldn't be easier. Pick your shades of "matte" spray paint, find (or buy) random shaped bottles, maybe even host a drinking night in order to gain a few more - and paint! Use old wrapping paper or newspaper to lay outside on a flat surface, out of the sun, and evenly coat each side of the bottles. Working with one color at a time, to not get cross-coverage. Avoid drips by painting thin, even coats. Two or three coats will be better than one drippy coat. Wrap with twine or raffia and then add a few sprigs of wheat and lavender. Gorgeously rustic.
Floating candle vases with golden string: Embellish pillar vases by wrapping them with gold or silver twine, tie off with a tight knot and hide underneath a few layers. Add water and a floating candle and that's all there is to it. Simple, elegant and can be interspersed with simple vases holding large bloomed flowers like you see here. Using multiple vases that have water in them at different heights will add interest and depth to your centerpiece. You can even color the water with a few tiny drops of food coloring if you want to get crazy crafty! We can also use Fruit & flowers in a box. Using a wooden box stack fruit, vegetables, succulents and flowers that match your wedding colors. A square box would be perfect for round tables and a rectangle box would be best for rectangle tables. You can either construct these boxes yourself with 1/2″ thick panels of plywood or you can buy them at different home decor shops.
Wine glass terrarium: Build your own super sweet mini-terrarium in wine glasses or the like! You can add moss and a few succulents like you see here, but if you want your little environments to last beyond your day you'll need to layer a few key items. 1. Little stones 2. Next, little wood chips 3. Then a little bit of dirt 4. Plus some moss. 5. Finally add a succulent and/or a cut flower. *Obviously the cut flower won't survive. I'm saying "little" everything since the wine glass is small but you can use medium or large sized stones and such if your container is larger. The tea light is optional but absolutely darling right? You can make these a few weeks before your event to give your succulent time to grow into it's new habitat. Make multiple terrariums using different glassware, any will work, to create an earthy and natural feel for your tables. Again, terrific take-home gifts for your close friends.
