Candles, candles and more candles are a great way to create a mood and give a shimmering magic to your wedding. They can also be purchased in bulk to save money. A combination of pillars and votives make for a beautiful look.
Lanterns are another way to decorate and create an ambiance. You can use candles or LED twinkle lights to give off light. These are also a wonderful alternative to bouquets. Fill the lanterns with fairy lights and watch the glow as your bridesmaids walk down the aisle.
Old books, antique jars, family heirlooms can be used to create amazing centerpieces without using one flower! Hoops made of brass or even covered embroidery hoops adorned with green make a dramatic statement. Orchids suspended in tall cylinders of water are a very dramatic touch to your tables. Incorporate them with other vintage things, books or candles. No sneezing here!
Fruit in tall cylinders with floating candles give color to your tables and create a natural effect. And, they are environmentally responsible. Lemons, apples, cranberries- what's your favorite. Artichokes, eggplant, and other vegetables are beautiful in a table garland. One of my brides was a chef and wanted the food element in her table decor. Vegetables added stunning colors and a "green" vibe to her centerpieces.
Hanging twinkle lights, draping with uplighting, greens, such as eucalyptus woven into garlands- all things lovely and romantic. Silk flowers are also an option. Or, wooden flowers- you will never know that they are not real! Have your bridesmaids carry fans, decorated hoops, or other natural choices instead of flowers.
You don't have to have flowers to make your wedding unforgettable. Use your imagination. There are lots of other options.
