Given that we are going to have a fall wedding, both Hubby and I want something that fits with the natural theme.
Friends of ours were going to let us have the vases they are using for their wedding, but then again I want to keep our options open.
We were thinking of having pumpkins on the tables at first. Well I can't imagine full size pumpkins there, not only it is a waste, but on top of it people wouldn't be able to see each other since we will have some round tables.
So my though would be to use some mini pumpkins and work things around with beans, corns and other things in the vases that our friends would let us use after their wedding.
Well that was until I came across a post in the weddingbee.com boards about a centerpiece from a member of The Knot.
Here is a picture:
I just find it so cute and romantic.
I probably wouldn't have some herbs in them because you don't want fragrances to affect your guests meal, but some type or plant like some of the ground fast growing plants or moss, a lantern and a mini pumpkin, maybe even some pine cone or bittersweet branches with berries to add some color. I just think it would look fantastic.I would love a rusty or copper looking lantern to match the wedding colors, but if not Ikea has some at a very affordable price in a dark color: $4.99 a piece (Rotera) that would work with a classy touch.
Even better, after a bit more search, I found some brass candle lantern with the same pattern as Ikea, which are exactly what I would like:
Now all I need is to find the place selling them at the best price. E-bay here I come!
We could probably ask a friend of Hubby who does wood working to make us some woodboxes, or just find wood an make them ourselves.
