Designer Lulu Guinness (luluguinness.com), famous for her whimsical accessories, put her usual flair on the table when she came up with this centerpiece—votive candles and a vintage mirror with lavender roses. To re-create the look, use your favorite flowers and any candles and mirrors. This centerpiece adds a touch of classic beauty to any wedding table. Plus, the purple color of the roses with the votives will leave your guests relaxed and in awe of the ambiance.
Just in time for Easter or a spring themed wedding or shower! This beautiful design is courtesy of Martha Stewart. I love the clean fresh design of the flowers as well as the fun colors of jelly beans. These will give your guests something yummy to munch on while they are waiting!
How-to
1. Place a plastic liner inside a basket.
2. Press clumps of wheatgrass, with a bit of soil still attached, around the edges of the larger liner.
3. Place a second, slightly smaller liner inside the first liner to hold the wheatgrass in.
4. Pour water and cut-flower food into plastic liner.
5. Cut tulips about 2-inches from the head of the flower, and prick the stem with a pin or knife to prevent growth.
6. Arrange tulips in basket.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle just took on a whole new meaning with South Carolina boys Matt and Ted Lee. The Lee brothers have made a career of getting back to good old American basics. To wit, they created this centerpiece right out of the canned-foods aisle. To re-create the look, choose retro-looking cans from your own market, empty them — to make a pie, perhaps — and fill them with small bunches of flowers. This idea is super simple and would be perfect for a vineyard themed wedding–you could even use wine bottles instead of cans– or even a country themed wedding. Depending on the cans you choose this idea would be a great money saver for a variety of weddings.The options and designs are endless! Isn’t that just canny? Sorry! I had to say it!
If you are having a spring wedding then this DIY idea is perfect for you. These cute little bird nests are made from doilies! They are a simply favor or table decoration for any wedding or wedding show. Here is how to achieve this look!

Bowl in the shape of the basket you would like to make
Fabric stiffener
Doily Basket How-To
1. Soak doily in bowl of fabric stiffener until saturated.
2. Remove doily from stiffener and place over bowl (or along inside of bowl) to form a basket shape.
3. Allow to dry. Carefully peel dried basket from bowl.
Enliven your wedding or bridal shower with an arrangement of eggcup bouquets displayed on cake stands. Choose small-budded flowers in similar hues, such as the tulips, lily of the valley, paperwhites, and daffodils. Trim the stems so the blossoms will peek over the rims of the eggcups. Place a small round metal floral frog in each eggcup to help shape and weight the arrangements. Fill the cups three-quarters of the way with water, and then add the blooms. Arrange the mini bouquets on and around stands. You can then let the guests take the mini bouquets home for a favor and centerpiece all in one!
The Tie That Binds creates unique wedding favors for any wedding. I really like this design for a country themed wedding. The label has a rustic feel that would go well with a fall wedding as well. The wording is beautiful and perfect for a wedding. “One does not fall in or out of love, one Grows in love.” Isn’t it breathtaking? Ahhh…
If you are looking for a unique table arrangement, I have just the thing for you! These hollowed-out eggshells make a naturally beautiful vases for tiny flower arrangements. Break an egg at the top of its shell, drain the contents, and carefully rinse out the inside. Next, fill the empty shell with room-temperature water and place it in an eggcup for stability. Finally, insert small cuttings of your favorite blossoms ( lilacs, lily of the valley, and violas are pictured above). Individually or grouped together in a centerpiece, these tiny arrangements make a wonderful addition to the place settings at your table.
I’m in love with this clever barware idea from Brides.com. I came across this idea while browsing my favorite blog–The Hostess with the Mostess. To create this stylish barware simply, serve up a fun signature drink (like the hard lemonade pictured here) – in mason jars with stylish die-cut lids that have room for a straw!
These Daisy Cut Metal Lids are available in both pewter & gold finishes at Candle Soylutions (starting at $0.39 each). Various sizes of mason jars are also available at Candle Soylutions.
