I would never have thought of this myself, and if somebody had said to me use artichokes as table decorations I would have thought them mad, but this is beautiful.

I love the colours of these centerpieces. And this won’t cost you a fortune to get right. You can get your bridesmaids together and you guys should be able to get these done fairly quickly. Also because you’re not relying on fresh flowers you could do it a couple of days in advance.

I love love love this colour scheme. So fresh and exciting.

How I DIY has a nice tutorial on this DIY wedding project. The base is made from a framed mirror, and then they used plain glass vases which they wrapped in gauzy white fabric. The final product is stunning! It will add a lot of warmth to a cold fall or winter wedding.

Some inspiration for those DIY brides out there. You can check out the website above for some more pics and instructions on making this rustic wooden cake stand.
