Pretty floral arrangements are a big part of many weddings, particularly those held in spring. They can work as very budget-friendly wedding decor or even lovely floral gifts. But the flowers you use can look even more stunning if you use your ingenuity on the containers holding them! So today we look at these DIY decorative bottle vases filled with flowers. You can do so much to transform a simple bottle or vase to your theme.
Look #1 – Charms and Trims
What You’ll Need:
To get the same effect we have, you’ll need:
- Decorating Glass Bottle Set
- Antique Key Charms in Heart, Double Hearts, and Intertwined Rings Styles
- Ruffled Fabric Ribbon Trim
- Striped Cotton Baker’s Twine
- Baby’s breath flower arrangements
Instructions:
Adding charms and trims adds a beautiful layered effect to your glass bottles. Different textures, colours, and embellishments add a whole new level of creative opportunity. Attach ribbon, string, twine, or fabric to your bottles around the neck or the body in all kinds of combinations to match your theme or colour scheme. Then you can attach something extra decorative too, like a charm or key ring, to finish it off. All of this is a fantastic way to add character to your bottles. And don’t forget to finish the look with some of your favourite flowers.
Look #2 – Mix and Match
What You’ll Need:
To get the same effect we have, you’ll need:
- White Glass Bottle Décor Set
- Decorating Glass Bottle Set
- Vintage Inspired Ceramic Bottle with Lavender Motif
- Hydrangeas flower arrangements
Instructions:
To get a really striking collection of decorative bottles, you’ll want to collect a selection of different sizes, shapes, and colours. This works particularly well if you’re using your bottles as wedding table decorations and centrepieces, for you can experiment with all kinds of designs to bring dimension to your decor.
Look #3 – Personalisation
What You’ll Need:
To get the same effect we have, you’ll need:
- White Glass Bottle Décor Set
- Woodland Pretty Monogram Antler Small PVC Sticker
- Woodland Pretty Diecut Sticker
- Tulips flower arrangements
Instructions:
Personalisation is a huge factor in taking a somewhat generic idea and making it unique. Use motifs, monograms, stickers, engraving, and embellishments to make bold or subtle personalisations. For your wedding, don’t be afraid to decorate your bottles with the wedding date or yours and your partner’s names. It’s your day, so make your mark.
More Ideas:
Take these ideas into more than just glass bottles and vases. Use lanterns and baskets, candle holders and glass goblets to give a pretty spin to your wedding decorations. So many variables determine whether something matches your chosen theme—e.g. the colours, the styles, and the flowers you use. The big secret is to experiment to find what suits you best.
