Diy succulent wedding centerpieces

It's interesting:
"Today, I think we have all learned that there are few things more marvellous than an Autumn wedding, and nothing more beautiful than a Fall bride. It is wonderful occasions like this that provide us all with great memories that we will never, ever forget, and I am incredibly honoured to have been of part of this special day. Also, I want to thank you for getting married at this time of the year, because now, whenever I see the leaves turning colour and falling off the trees, I’ll be reminded that it’s time to buy your anniversary gift."

Floral centerpieces may be the most popular choice to adorn the reception tables at weddings, but non-floral centerpieces are gaining in popularity as well. Not only are succulent wedding centerpieces easy to make at home, they also help the bride and groom save money. While some food-inspired centerpieces are not meant to be eaten, others can double as guest wedding favors or even the reception’-s dessert. These interesting centerpieces can follow a wedding theme or coordinate with the wedding colors. For example, tropical fruits can be displayed at a beach wedding or oranges and chocolate can complement an orange and brown wedding.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Replace a large, over-the-top wedding cake with miniature cakes displayed at each table. Alternatively, put several cupcakes or miniature cupcakes in a tiered cupcake holder as the centerpiece. Making all these cakes at home may be a larger project than expected- it’-s best to order the cakes and cupcakes from a baker.

     Split up a large candy buffet by putting three large, glass jars in the center of every table and filling them with bite-sized candies. Make sure to include a metal scoop in each jar so guests can easily reach the candy, and don’-t choose candies that will melt throughout the evening, like exposed chocolate. This centerpiece can double as guest favors by placing a small cellophane goodie bag at each place setting and directing guests to fill up before leaving the reception.

   • 3

     Fill small glasses with lemons and limes and put several white candles around them in the center of the table. Citrus fruits, as well as kiwi, star fruit and pineapple, can even be cut in half and displayed as a centerpiece, since their exposed fruit is colorful.

   • 4

     Stand stalks of asparagus straight up against large white candles and secure with colored ribbon. Choose ribbon that matches the wedding colors. Place three candles with asparagus in the center of each table.

   • 5

     Create a seasonal centerpiece by gathering pumpkins and gourds of different shapes, sizes and colors in the center of the table. Add to the Autumn theme by scattering fake leaves around the base of the centerpiece.

   • 6

     Place a food basket in the center of each table. Food baskets can be made up of several kinds of treats, from wine and cheese to chocolate and even coffee. These centerpieces can double as guest favors.

   • 7

     Paint fruit to create a colorful, whimsical centerpiece, and display in large glass bowls. For example, paint apples and pears in shimmery gold and silver. Place in a large bowl along with white flowers.
