Centrepieces: An outdoor wedding

Outdoor weddings are definitely in. A field, a member of the family´s garden or backyard …. We are looking for someting bohemian and fun !
All different colour tablecloths in bright and cheerful colours. Garden deck chairs in wood where you can tie a bow of Spring flowers in a colourful lace to the backs and patchwork cushions to feel comfy.

Save costs and get family and friends involved, that is always fun! ask them to lend you crockery and glassware with a vintage touch, fine china with small flower details would be ideal. To let your guests now where they are sitting why not have posters with their photos on painting stands at the side of each table. Each poster could be personalised with a text, poem or song that you like.

What about small, colourful Spring flowers arrangement in antique china vases or just simple daisies in unusual flower pots. Go for cupcakes, brownies, biscuits, sweets arranged around the table with small cards telling you what each thing is in the most pure old farmshop style and give your wedding a sweet touch that everyone will remember.

No doubt one of the things that creates the biggest expectation on the wedding day is how will the bride and groom be dressed, but there are other details that call guests attention such as where will the reception be held and the decor. Centrepieces are very significant as they tell us a lot about the couples tastes and what that special day means to them.
Centrepieces and the decor are there for very important. This is the first golden rule, they must give a fair idea of what you wish your wedding to be. The second rule is that they must be arranged in such a way that guests can talk and have a laugh with the other guests at the table without the centrepieces hindering eye contact.
Bearing these rules in mind here are some suggestions on the latest floral arrangements and centrepieces to give your wedding a chic and cosmopolitan touch about it.
As we all know Asian art is gaining more and more supporters amongst Western countries it is therefore not strange at all that Japanese floral arrangements are so much in demand.

The beauty, delicacy and subtleness of colours of it´s flowers, the simplicity of their arrangement are some good reasons for this.
They are usually arranged upwise, with a few stems or branches in each arrangement, and they match very well with crystal clear vases of modern and elegant designs that can be filled up with beach pebbles, shells, marbles, coloured sand…. they also blend in well with candle centrepieces as these give out a faint, delicate light. The candles could be placed in some sort of oil lamp in these way you will also avoid that one of the guests might get burnt.
One last suggestion that might appeal to you as a couple, is to replace the flowers for dry branches painted in black with lot of little twinkling lights on them, We simply love the idea.
