Inspiration from Astounding Events

Don’t throw away your empty wine bottles, clean them up and use them as quirky and unique DIY wedding decor. Soaking the bottle in warm soapy water will make it easy to pull of the label. The use of the bottles in the image from Astounding Events along with the moss would be amazing for a garden wedding. I’ve also seen a lot of people use wine bottles as candle holders. Really stunning.

This would make a lovely centerpiece. It couldn’t have been easy to make. Admittedly I don’t know the first thing about mosaic but this doesn’t look easy at all. Really stunning though. Apparently the tiles are of a translucent glass. If you could figure out how to make this you could actualy make your own to fit in with your colour scheme.

This is very similar to what I have planned for my own wedding. As you’re all probably aware I’m getting married in August which is pretty cold here in South Africa so I’m going with a Winter Wonderland Theme. We’ll be doing most of it ourselves and this makes for a pretty easy, yet stunning, DIY centerpiece. For my wedding however we won’t be hanging the glass baubles with candles in them. I know that you can rent those baubles if you want to do something similar as a friend of mine used them for her wedding. I also bought some of those baubles from @Home just after Christmas when most of their Christmas stock was on sale. We are looking at hanging either crystals from the branches or glittery fake snowflakes. I’m also using crackle glass vases which I’m hoping will catch the light from the candles and add to the icy winter effect we’re aiming for. If all goes well we’re planning on having our ceremony in the evening after sunset. We’ll have small bonfires just outside of the chapel and the back wall of the chapel lined with various candles. I’m not keen on renting candle holders as this can cost quite a bit so I’m asking everybody I know to borrow whatever candle stick holders they have. I think it will create a beautiful effect as all the candles will be of varying lengths and sizes, and will add a lot of warmth to a cold night. And it also helps that candle light always manages to add a touch of romance.

I love these colours and orange and teal is very popular at the moment. I’ve also seen a lot of red and teal which is just as  stunning.

Inspiration from Juniper Flowers.

These flowers are so unusual and beautifull for a wedding. I think it would ideal for an informal wedding. It should also be very easy to do this yourself.
