Simply line the mason jars with your favorite tissue paper to coordinate with your wedding colors and add the votive. Use them to line the church aisle or for outdoor weddings to mark the aisle or along the side of your aisle runner.

These luminaries are perfect for outdoor weddings, especially weddings on the beach or in a park. It gives a burst of color and light and adds some design to it. These are an EEEBCDI project. For new readers that means 'easy enough even Bill can do it' which means I had my husband who is very un-crafty try it, and he had no problem pulling it all together. So for the un-crafty bride this is a perfect project.

Having a Disney wedding based on Beauty and the Beast and looking for a disney wedding idea for centerpieces? While a Disney wedding isn't for everyone, more and more brides are growing up with the Disney Princesses so it follows that more weddings will have a Disney theme--after all every bride wants that happily ever after ending!

 

Beauty and the Beast offers easy centerpieces that you can either make yourself or have your florist pull together for you. Shades of Belle and the Beast! It only takes two roses and a book covered with a glass dome! Simple! You could even use silk roses so you don't have to worry about spillage. So if you are a Disney lover planning a wedding based on Belle and her Prince, this is the centerpiece for you!

Add some rhinestone stickers to each fork, knife, or spoon. Display it in a cute holder with some color coordinating ribbon or tulle and you are good to go! A fun way to bling up a shower! This is also a great way to bling up a little girl's birthday party.

DIY Peony Centerpieces

If you love peonies this DIY centerpiece will capture your heart. It's perfect for weddings or wedding showers, or just a pretty luncheon or dinner party. 

 

To make these you will need taper candlesticks, some floral foam (to keep the flowers hydrated), and a floral knife and floral clippers (oh and some water to soak the foam) and your peonies (you can use any flower that opens to approximately the same size as a peony.)

 

If you need step by step directions head to Hostess With The Mostess where she has a full tutorial. This is an easy to make centerpiece that you can pull together ahead of time (cut the foam, buy the flowers) and just quickly add the water and flowers on the day of your wedding or even the day before. Have fun!

 

 

Easy Holiday Centerpieces

Holiday centerpieces for Christmas weddings don't get any easier than this. An upside down wine glass, some holly with some nice red berries and a small red candle.

 

You can either have one at each place setting or group them in the center of the table with some votive candles around them. Or consider running them down the center of an oblong table with either a mirror or red table runner under them. So easy!

Easy Do It Yourself Centerpieces

Making your own centerpieces can be as easy as floating flowers and candles in water. Secure your favorite flowers, roses, orchids, tulips. You don't have to use real flowers, silk will do, which makes your timing much easier.

 

You can make these ahead of time with less worry of dying flowers. Anchor the flowers by either gluing to the bottom of your vase or by using floral stones. Add a floating candle to the top of your design and voila! The perfect centerpiece is ready to be put on the table, just waiting for the reception to begin and candles to be lit.

Be sure your vase is tempered glass so that it won't shatter when the candle has been lit for awhile. I once arrived at a wedding just in time to see all the centerpieces shatter one after the other. That's a mess you just don't need on  your wedding day. These easy centerpieces can be clustered in a group or used as a single piece. Add some votive candles on a mirror to add some depth.

Buy inexpensive wooden candlesticks (you can pick some up in the Dollar Store or your local craft store), paint them gold, then cover with gold glitter. Easy and gives you a wow factor.

 

If you just want a gilded look, head to Lowe's and buy paint called "Midas Touch" that will give anything you paint with it a gilded look.

 

You can also upgrade some old vases by using some Midas Touch gold paint and painting a design on the clear glass--upgrade those vases with just a few touches of your brush.

 

Have boring table numbers? Add the glam with Midas Touch. They will go from ho hum to wow in just a few minutes.
