Easy DIY Centerpieces for your Garden Wedding
These wild violets are vibrant and fun! Reveling in the idea that less is more, it’s a sophisticated centerpiece that brings so much life to your table. Whether your reception is held in a fabulous garden with plenty of natural color or you’re using a garden theme in a reception facility, these do-it-yourself centerpieces will steal the show with their simplicity and sweetness.
According to the Elfster.com website, these beautiful wild violets from the garden can be transported to the table or counter in seconds, and it’s a great way to recycle old and mismatched drinking glasses that you’re still holding onto because they’re too cute to get rid of! A cluster of different heights and sizes looks the best on a table. All you’ll need is a collection of odd drinking glasses, several dug-up wild violets (or other small, weedy flower) and a little moss to cover the soil.
Here’s how to make them:
- With your fingers or small trowel, dig up individual small flowers, leaving a chunk of soil still attached to the roots.
- Tuck several small plants together inside each glass, topping off with a thin layer of moss.
- With proper watering (the soil should be lightly moist), these centerpieces will thrive for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
If you don’t have a garden, simply visit your local garden center and purchase the plants. Not only are they a lovely addition to the table, but guests can take one home as a unique, eco-friendly wedding favor. Perfect for spring and summer weddings, complete the display on the table with bird cage place card holders or personalized seed packs favors if you decide to keep the flowers for yourself.
