As mentioned earlier in the week, the inspiration this week focuses around a Vintage Rustic affair.
I like the Vintage Rustic aesthetic because to me, it romanticizes normal rustic decor…giving it a boost of loveliness for a wedding. I assembled some centerpiece + decor ideas + inspiration below.
I will highlight a few:
- looking for a centerpiece but not keen on traditional favors? The idea is not new but is a lovely one: use mini potted plants + min floral arrangements for place cards and/or favors. When grouped together, they can make a cute little centerpiece.
- for a more rustic ring bearer pillow, see this one from Luckey U.
- I spotted this DIY rustic cake stand on from Once Wed via Simply Natural.
- to fill that space if you are going light on the flowers, look into Lanterns like those below from Pottery Barn or even mini lanterns + mini centerpieces like in this photo taken by from Mel Barlow.

This week’s inspiration [of the week] ideas focus on beautiful centerpieces – centerpieces in different trendsetting colors schemes. There will be no all-white arrangements here…
Today: yellow. How cheery + full of sunshine is yellow? It is such a happy color.

Today: coral and green. I love that this color has been big this year because that was my color scheme almost 2 years ago! Oh, how time flies. Needless to say, I love it when done right. I think it is also important to add a tertiary color as well. Many florists will agree for reception centerpieces, to add depth like in the lovely third and fourth centerpieces. But are these first two centerpieces great or what?

Today: Candle Centerpieces
Will you light my candle? Okay, I am not Mimi but I love the musical Rent, what can I say…
I love how candles add a romantic touch to evening receptions…or otherwise dark reception spaces.
I like this paper lantern and candle centerpiece from Every Day with Rachael Ray for a laid back shower or a less formal wedding..
I also like these ideas from Martha Stewart Weddings…
And check out these lovely pew lanterns, not a centerpiece, but lovely, lovely, lovely!

Today: Out of the Box Centerpieces…
So, it may not be a surprise that I love centerpieces. For my wedding, centerpieces were definitely the thing I was most wishy-washy on because of the endless possibilities. I decided on low centerpieces to allow people to better talk to one another and see each other – that was important to me. Centerpieces don’t have to be tall or large to grab the attention of your guests…
Check out today’s out of the box centerpiece inspiration via my guest blog post at the Wishpot Wedding Blog.
Here’s a teaser:
Wow. Talk about out of the box design…
Instead of using typical centerpieces for a gala celebrating the Metropolitan Opera’s 125th year anniversary, David Stark Design and Production decorated the space using various graphics + fonts and look at the result…
 
amazing.

This week’s inspiration {of the week} ideas focuses on ways to go beyond the plain vase…each post will focus on different ways to make it more
fun, whether for a shower, reception or other event.
Today…use different vase fillers-be creative.
You’ve probably seen cut lemons, limes + even kiwis filled in a vase. But what else can you use?
Jennifer from Hostess with the Mostess wrote about just that at Real Simple. I was about to put some vase fillers I like but some were already listed on her great list.
Here are some great vase fillers…
Vase gems
Coffee Beans
Candy
Marbles
Acrylic Gems and Crystals
Ice Cube Glass Crystals
Colored Glass
For a complete list of her suggestions, click here.
Even colored water looks great in vases, bowls or floating candle holders.

Today…use the vases in unique ways {part 1…look for part 2 tomorrow}.
I adore this look, especially for a shower…bud vases displayed on a cake stand!
Also cute for a shower…
baby centerpieces in fun arrangements!
And, since no one said all vases had to hold the same…
Or no vase had to be the same…{on a table}
