When hosting an event, the little touches always matter. Eye-catching centrepieces are a must for memorable décor, and although bouquets of flowers are beautiful, you can spend less money and have way more fun by making your own decorations!
Floating Flower Hurricanes
Whimsical and inexpensive! These DIY floral masterpieces aren’t your typical floral centrepieces, they have some originality and creativity about them… and who wouldn’t want that?!
Upside Down Wine Glasses
Another alternative floral centrepiece. Simply take the head of a rose (real or fake) and place an upside-down wine glass and place over the rose making it almost like a terrarium. For extra pizzazz, place a tea light or mini candle on the top of the glass! It’s as easy as that.
PVC Pipe Vases
Who knew PVC pipes could turn into something so beautiful? A coat of spray paint and a couple of cute flowers can transform a PVC pipe from drab to fab in seconds.
Candles
A romantic centrepiece that will go down well in any setting, candles are a guaranteed hit with everyone! Why not add a little floral to this by wrapping them around the base of each
Illuminate your tables with lanterns, adding a vintage vibe and bringing some character to your event!
Seasonal
Choose seasonally appropriate decorations for your centrepiece. For Spring, fresh flowers are perfect. Summer, fresh fruits, pastel colour schemes fit in seamlessly. For Autumn, golden leaves, tree branches, pumpkins and acorns look delightful, and finally for winter, opt for faux snowflakes, a white and silver colour scheme and even a few baubles.
Live Attractions
Nothing adds life to the party like a centrepiece that’s alive! Buy some goldfish at your local pet store and some colourful pebbles to go in the fishbowls to match your décor and watch your tables come to life… literally! And after your event, you can gift them to a good home.
