Mason jars

When it comes to outdoor weddings, mason jars can be much more than just a piece of container. Wrap them with a tissue paper or complementing slipcover, and put a candle inside for that simple and unique look. You may also fill mason jars with wildflowers or straws to create a perfect outdoor wedding centerpiece.

Inspired from Nature

Cut colorful birds from patterned paper and stick them on fallen tree branches. Put them in a simple vase and use this centerpiece for an outdoor wedding table. Your guests will be delighted to see the birds revolving in a gentle breeze.

Favor tree

Treat your guests to scrumptious sweets displayed on a beautiful table tree. Make colorful cardboard cones and hang them from tree branches with matching ribbon or raffia. Fill the cones with chocolates or candies for your guests to savor.

Takeaway plants/fruits 

Using living art as wedding centerpieces is fun and quick way to dress up your table. During your selection, make sure that pots complement your table settings. Even though flowering plants are always a safe bet, blooming orchids, miniature roses, or lilies will too have your guests gazing. At the end of the evening, allow your guests to take these potted plants back home as favors.
