What’s so fantastic about organising a wedding is that you can get your Blue Peter head on and indulge your artistic senses wherever and whenever you like. Each month we look at how one of our products might be used to inspire your big day. This time it’s buckets – silver buckets, mini buckets and pretty little white retro buckets.

Create a beautiful alternative centrepiece inside or outside with this silver bucket (£5.99). Simply fill with fresh flowers, favours, or your choice of alcoholic beverage for the perfect centrepiece for any table.
BESIDE THE SEASIDE: Go all out for an English Seaside theme, complete with bucket centre pieces filled with sand and spades also shells to hold the name cards! You could have different resorts in Cornwall as your table names instead of having numbers. The possibilities are endless. How about flatish pebbles with people’s names written on them to use as name places? If the whole theme is the seaside then hire some deckchairs, have glass jars with rock as favours, hire an ice-cream van, and serve fish and chips for main course!!! And why not fill these mini buckets with ice cream to serve the kids.
LOVE IN BLOOM: For great centrepieces what about artificial sunflowers in silver buckets?
SET THE MOOD with floating candles in silver buckets lining the path to your outdoor wedding. Or Tealights in lanterns hanging from trees by fat chiffon ribbons.
