A Lot of Bottle

Once inexpensive and simple way of creating centrepieces for your wedding is by using Bottles,
They are easy to get hold of, they come in array of colours so the world is your oyster. You also do not have to be overly creative to make these work.

They are great for weddings where you may be short of time as once decorated they can be put together by family, friends or your event planner on the day itself/

You can add ribbon, glitter, twine, lace and put flowers or candles in them, or even paint them. The best thing is that you can re use them after your celebration.

What ever your idea its good to explore and play with them well ahead of time to make sure you are happy with them. Think about how you are going to decorate them, fill them and then display them.

They look great especially when different sized bottles are grouped together or if using long tables several placed closely down the centre in a line.

Below are a few of my favourite ideas

Rustic Inspiration & Ideas

Anybody who knows me knows that I love rustic themed events, from Barn Dances, Weddings to general outdoor parties, keeping with nature and a rustic theme gives you the perfect excuse to use things around us without having to spend lots of money. After all we all want to have a perfect event but preferably without the cost.

What I like about this table setting is the way that they have used an assortment of coloured bottles and jars and simply filled them with a few wild flowers. Simple but effective and if you do not have any bottles or jars around a great way to source them is to visit charity shops or car boot sales, why shouldn't you have a little fun with it?

With this table setting what I particularly like are the way they have added pine cones, place with the flowers, bottles or Jars on a piece of burlap again keeps things looking rustic and natural, effective but informal.

One of my favourites now are things displayed on Log slabs, its proving very popular for using as a base for centrepieces. Here they have used them for their cake table. Just a note, make sure they are treated before you use them, especially for food.

How about a natural wishing tree, a perfect way for guests to leave little messages, perfect for any event and what a great way to keep a reminder of the day, find a little matching box and treasure those memories for always

Feeling creative? what about making your own table place stands?

One of the great things with a rustic event is that you can get away with so much, here they have used a mish mash of wooden chairs, I think you will agree it really works.

Hopefully I have given you some food for thought! don't hold back, use your imagination and remember that part of the fun is personalising your event, giving your guests talking point and creating a wow factor.

Barn Wedding Inspiration

I love Barn Weddings! I think of all the kind of weddings there are I have fallen in love with the relaxed rustic charm of a Barn Wedding.

Barns are often a great blank canvas for you to stamp your own identity on, perfect for those brides who too love shabby chic style.

The great thing about a barn wedding is that you can really keep things simple, with jam jars and tins for your flower centrepieces, ribbons on chairs, bunting, pom poms, fairylights and lanterns.

Below I have posted some of my favourite ideas.
