My name is Lovebug, and I am an antiquer. I’ve tried seeking help, but the doctors tell me there is no cure. So for therapy, I go shopping. At antique stores. This week’s finds? Centerpiece and reception arrangement containers!

The centerpiece flowers will be arranged in various, miscellaneous silver and silver-plate containers such as these. Smaller vessels will be clustered, thinner pots will have fewer flowers, shallow bowls will have shorter stems, etc. - all to give each table an individualized, vintage feel. And those big boys - the champagne buckets - will do the heavy lifting on side tables and such.
But as to the actual flowers, I’m one clueless bug. I hardly know my mums from my posies. So if anyone has particular suggestions on what (white and pink) blooms might work particularly well in these containers, I’m all antennae.
My guy says that if I come home with one more chair…
still, a wedding is a great time to flex those antiquing skills. Beautiful finds!
