Most people choose flowers to decorate their tables, but let’s face it; flowers can be very redundant and can become fairly boring.
To add a twist, here are 5 new ways to recreate your floral centerpieces.
1. Using a tall vase, get some dry bamboo sticks and cut them slightly longer than the length of the vase. Get enough to cover the outside entirely. Glue each stick onto the vase making sure to place them closely together. This will ensure that no spaces are left to peek through. Let the bamboo sticks dry completely and adhere to the vase. Once completed, simply fill the vase with water and flowers.Note: if you can’t find dry bamboo sticks or want a more budget friendly alternative, you can also use barbeque skewers. These can be purchased at any grocery store, and to add a personal touch, you can also spray paint these to match your colour scheme before gluing.
2. When you think flower centerpieces, people think they should always be housed in a glass vase, especially for weddings. To add a touch of down to earth home sweet home charm, try using terra cotta planter pots. They can really add some style and elegance in
an understated way.3. Choose a glass vase and add jellybeans the same colour as your flower bouquets at the base of the vase. This may sound a little juvenile, but it has a wonderful classy effect.
4. Like our first idea, wrap your vase in something that will enhance the flowers you are trying to showcase. In this case, I suggest using a fabric to compliment your table décor. The fabric should be complimentary to the style of your wedding. For instance, if you’ve showcased your wedding using silk and chiffon, then using a great raw silk fabric to match your colours will add character and style to your décor. If you were having a more casual wedding outdoors, using a heavier woven textured linen fabric would probably work better.
5. Lastly, instead of having a centerpiece, try using flowers blossoms to create a large wreath on your table. After having your place settings set, decorate your table using the inside perimeter of the place settings as your guide. Loosely place flowers evenly all around the table, ensuring that the flowers are mixed well so no colour is more dominant in one spot than another.Whatever your style, using any of these ideas will definitely make a great statement for your wedding day. Try them out before you decide. You might be pleasantly surprised to see which one works for you.
