If you’re not already following along with the creation of my centerpieces… first I accumulated my vases, then I went through a trial run with the baby’s breath.
Next, I assembled a few samples!
In addition to my vase-purchasing frenzy, I also cleared TJ Maxx and Marshall’s on any and all of these adorable little bird figurines. I now have a rather sizeable flock!
I wanted to create the ambiance/arrangement that we will have the evening of the wedding. Ideally, the lighting will be low and the reception tables will be illuminated with votives. Perhaps like this?
Aren’t the little birds adorable?
I plan to use one tall vase and one short vase in the arrangement. I’ll add a bird on one side, and the table number/letter on the other. Votives will be scattered around the table.
So…what do you think? Did you have an easy time turning your visions into reality for your reception tables?
they look great! i’m also thinking of incorporating some birds in my table arrangements
so cute! I am clearing goodwill of all white figurine animals! 
Very cute! I like how the color of the birds plays off from the baby’s breath.
I love how it’s shaping up. So romantic. Our tables are having a hard time shaping up.
this is looking awesome–way to go, buttons! i’m impressed!
ohhh the birds are the perfect touch! Good job bargain shopping!
I’m loving the birds AND feeling a little less crazy that I actually have a box of wedding stuff I came across while moving labelled, “wedding animals” No joke. Loving how your centerpieces are turning out so far!
What a great idea to do a trial run before the wedding. Your idea came together so nicely, it looks really lovely!
I love it! The birds are adorable - your centerpieces are going to be amazing!!
Love the birds!! If you need anymore, btw, Michael’s has some cute ones for 50% off right now (in mine, they were over by the fake flowers… lots of sizes).
@amariem25: The tables will be round…either 8 seats or 10 depending on our arrangements!
@Miss Pug: awww thanks 
@Miss Stripes: Haha! I totally have a box labeled “wedding birds” in my room at the moment!
@estrella: Oooh thanks - I keep hearing people say that…I need to go take a look!
Do you have any low vases where you can birds nesting within the baby’s breath? Those birds are so cute!
