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: Paper Flower Centerpieces
I like this inspiration for showers…or even engagement parties, if you are having one. Paper centerpieces add a new kind of fun to the table. Here are some favorites that make me want to go out and make them today…or this weekend when I have more time. 
Simple white paper flowers from Craftstylish. How cute are these placed in a french press? Learn how to make them here.

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:

the plain vase…each post will focus on different ways to make it more

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}

Today…use ribbon(s) and fabric.
It could be as simple as adding ribbon around the vase, either covering it completely, around the middle, or in a bow…

Quite a number of you have inquired about branch centerpieces. Of course, I am not surprised given how popular using branches this year is (and aiding in cutting floral costs). My trendy sister came across these images in an insideweddings.com magazine she had. The branches are utilized so simply but they, combined with the candles, really pack a punch.

I'm back from a short vacation to Holland. It was great and I have to say I fell (back) in love with tulips. Maybe because they are everywhere there but I found a new appreciation for them. Although they aren't my favorite choices for bouquets because they are somewhat fragile and can easily go limp, I do like them in a short vase for a fun, yet small centerpiece like this one from Martha Stewart's Web site.
