Help me come up with an idea...

for my centerpieces!!! I am going to visit florists next week and I know they might have some creative ideas....

But I know you ladies are very creative and might be able to help me. FH and I are doing a wine theme for our wedding. We are using corks for the place card holders (my BM also my best friend and her BF who is a GM have saved over 75 corks for me haha) She works at a resturant and got alot....We are doing wine names for tables instead of #'s and giving our small wine bottles with our donation favor. Our cake will have grapes goign down the side. But they wont be real they will be made edible....

What about centerpieces?? I definitely want candles since I LOVE them. But I do want some flowers (lilies and orchids mostly). But how can I incorporate the wine theme within hte centerpieces?????

WINE bottles for vases?? with candels surounding....

What if you had flowers coming out of wine bottles on a cheeseboard covered in grapes and candles....maybe three different size bottles filled with flowers for some added 'dimension'....

Look at you!! That was a great idea!

Thank you guys...you are so creative


I think that idea with the wine bottles as vases is soo unique. Only thing how will flower stems fit in the top of the bottles since they are small??? Or could I cut the top off with like a glass cutter?? UMMMM now you got me thinking lol



Denise- my colors are mocha, ivory and like a light sage green what color flowers would you suggests??

Ooooh, another idea....you know the buckets they bring champagne or wine out in at fancy restaurants...that woulc work too as the vase....

I like the bottle idea better though....I think you could ask the florist about that. I'm sure they could bundle enough flowers to fit into the top and look pretty....

FOR SOME reason i cant think of the names of colors lol i dont know why, i see the colors though. But more like a cranberry, dark shades of red, burgundy, or wine colored roses that would be perfect, and have maybe some vines or something to tie in the green

They're cheap too!!!!!

I saw some bottles where people took off the labels and decorated them. You could even get crafty with the bottle. What if you put glass stones in that cranberry color denise was referring to in the bottles so it looked like wine? You could have color, the candles and then a tiny bunch of flowers to accent on top....and surround the whole thing with vines, grapes and tealights....so pretty!

Maybe something like this

the green thing on the bottom are grapes and I'm sure your florest can use lilies and orchids. You could also do a submerged arrangement
