Centerpieces - Part 2

June 30th, 2009 @ 12:27 pm by Mrs. Joey

My former attempt at the centerpieces were a bust. I searched online for inspirations, but most of what I found wasn’t doable on our budget. And then I looked down, literally, a found a little inspiration in my own home.

Centerpieces - Part 2 :  wedding decor reception Dscn101

I put this little number together over the weekend when my Mom told me to take some roses home from her garden.

It was cute, simple and easy to replicate. I could use dahlias or yellow roses in place of the red/pink ones and I could use the Billy Balls in place of the little pink puff flowers. I’d swap out the frame for the table number and forgo the succulent in this particular centerpiece.

I also tried it with the succulent.

I really like the 3 vases in a row and the colors. I also like the picture above (it needs flowers). My next step is to figure out how many of each vase I have and try to stretch them over 10 booths and 6 long tables. I also have 5 big round tables I don’t know what to do with. You should expect a few more entries about the centerpieces!

Anyone else find wedding decor inspiration staring them right in the face?

I wonder if doing the row or trio of colored vases with all white flowers would tie it all together?

Hey Miss Joey -

I LOVE the vases…but just wanted to say my good friend got married at the Lake Union Cafe recently and she just used rose petals on the tables and it was lovely. Plus we were all looking out at the view!
