Creating homemade wedding centerpieces is something that brides usually do themselves. These days, however, more brides are hiring a wedding planner to make these arrangements. Whether they do or not depends largely on how much money you have budgeted for this task. If you have enough money and want to save it, then you can always arrange for professional wedding centerpieces that can be done on your own.
DIY wedding centerpieces are not unheard of anymore. This is because greenery makes for beautiful centerpieces, particularly in a garden setting. Get potted plants in containers that come in different shapes and sizes and place them on your wedding table. They’re gorgeous.
Arrange small candles on the tables and set them so they face toward the middle of your tables. There’s nothing quite as romantic as candles floating down toward a floral arrangement. Another popular DIY idea is to use mason jars to hold flowers. For more pop of color, arrange them on the wedding tables in decorative mason jars.
DIY wedding centerpieces can also be created with greenery. Get small potted greenery and plant it on your wedding table using lightweight plastic pots. This is one easy way to add color without using any glue. If you do not have any greenery available, then you can always get some greenery to place on top of a plate or other container.
Another fantastic DIY idea for DIY wedding centerpieces is to create an image via a pinterest board. Use the pinterest board as a frame for images like your engagement announcement and a photo of you and your groom when you first met. You can also make a collage of favorite pictures and then hang the images on the wall. You could also put some vintage posters from your honeymoon in the frames. You can even take some old magazines that match the theme and glue them to the top of each page!
If you want to keep the greenery wedding centerpieces simple, then you can always purchase some cheap vases filled with colored candles and place them at different intervals along the table. It is important to remember that you should not light these candles, but merely to display them. To decorate the vases, simply use ribbon or some raffia to tie around the base of each vase. You may also decorate the vases themselves with flowers and beads. For a greenery effect, you can use yellow or pink votive candles.
Candles are a great alternative to vases and greenery when it comes to wedding centerpieces DIY. For this project, you will need a pack of long stick candles, some Styrofoam, and craft foam. The candles you buy should be plain so that you do not have any mix-ups when the time comes to light them up. Take your time in selecting the colors of the candles and how you wish to light them up. Once you have selected all the items, stick them down on the Styrofoam base.
If you wish to go with a more organic and natural look for your wedding centerpieces, then you can instead choose to use faux greenery and votive candles. Instead of putting up fake greenery, you can simply use brown votive candles and tape a few strands of these onto the base of each candle. For an authentic look, you can also use branches and greenery to create a type of abstract image via DIY. When decorating your wedding cake, you can use a combination of greenery and cake flowers or even just leave it as is so that the cake is one big decoration in itself.
