With this easy tutorial on simple, colorful tablescape project from A Practical Wedding with complete materials, instructions and helpful tips, you may now shy away from complicated and expensive centerpieces. Use it for your own or share and help out a friend who’d want to create one. Budgeted it is and yet you will still achieve an effortlessly stylish look.
Helpful Tips – Centerpiece:
- You can decorate an entire table with super simple elements (affordable, some of which came out of your recycling bin).
- Secret to a centerpiece like this is that it doesn’t look too arranged (but…it still is kind of arranged).
- Use a variety of glass containers (most of them from the recycle bin) to give the centerpiece an easy, unfettered look.
- Here, balance is more important than perfection – try placing the tallest jars evenly spaced along your runner, and then surrounding them with the medium and shorter jars.
- Once you’ve got your jars arranged, add even more variety and visual interest by placing candles in every third or fourth jar (Used here are: floating candles, tapers, tea lights and pillar candles for extra variety).
- To finish off the look, place flowers and greenery in the empty containers.
Before you actually do the centerpiece – First you’ll use basic table rentals. Keep in mind this tutorial doesn’t require fancy materials.
- Used here are the standard rental folding chairs, china and glassware, and linens to show you how much you can change the way a table looks even when you’re using the standard-issue rentals that are often included with either your catering or your venue (fancy linens, dishes, and chairs can be fun, but can also get shockingly expensive).
- Then, add the kraft paper table runner, then the super simple place cards, and finally, tie the napkins with dip dyed yarn (which you can buy at any knitting store).
DONE! Not too shabby if I may say….
