5 DIY Centrepieces

Tired of seeing the same old flowers and vase? This list will inspire you to great heights of craftiness and creativity! By Roseanne Dela Rosa

Heaven Scent: If you’re cramped for time this piece de resistance is easy enough for anyone to put together. Run to your nearest florist and let your senses guide you. Choose flowers according to your colour scheme and make sure they smell sweet too. Arrange them according to your liking in a vase, bowl or basket and trim if needed.

Picture Perfect: This personalized item calls for a bit of creativity. Start by picking some picture frames, then decide how to decorate them. Why not include your favourite song lyrics, a heartfelt poem or a full-colour collage. Add some flair to the frame by surrounding it with lace or roses.

Tray Chic: One thing’s for sure, there’s going to be wine on every table at your reception, so why not build your centrepiece around the red, white and bubbly! Even a basic tray can be hand painted or decorated with flowers and ribbons. Invest in personalized wine labels with a special photograph and the date of your nuptials. Also, a one-of-a-kind wine selection list with your names and wedding date at the top makes a memorable keepsake.

Shed Some Light: You don’t need to be Albert Einstein to make this piece and it’s guaranteed to enhance the ambiance of your special event. When it comes to candles there’s no limit to the countless styles you can create. Depending on how much time and money you’re willing to spend you can have floating candles or cake-shaped figures wrapped in tulle.

Get Stacking: As much as you’d love to have a huge wedding cake at every table it’s simply out of the budget. However, you can always fake it by stacking some cylinder-shaped boxes to resemble a three-tier cake, and decorating the sculpture according to your theme. Use ribbons, flowers, decorative paper, stickers and more. Or, if a faux cake doesn’t appeal, square boxes can be arranged like presents to emphasize the party atmosphere.
