Thoughts on picnic themed centerpiece idea?

Kyersten, on June 29, 2013 at 12:21 AM Posted in Style and Décor 0 6

I've been trying desperately to think of a centerpiece idea for our indoor picnic-themed wedding reception. I think I might finally have an idea and my FH is asleep, so I thought I'd ask y'all's opinion Smiley smile

do you think this idea is worth a trial mock-up? My tables are white cloth with red gingham table runners. Guests have mini picnic baskets with favors inside and their seat assignment. I thought about doing a mason jar centerpiece but those are the drinking glasses of the day.

3 piece centerpiece idea (all together in middle of table)

1) red gingham lined basket with one of my color flowers (yellow) and white small flowers. Table number sticking out of basket (already have those)

2) glass coca-cola bottle (I LOVE glass coke bottles) with red label to compliment red gingham... Water with single blue flower (my other color).

3) unique, summertime theme salt and pepper shakers, different at each table. Guests have a chance to "win" these and entire centerpiece.

Worth a mock up?

    Love the idea! Can't wait to see it come together Smiley smile

    Is the blue flower inside the coke bottle?

    That is very cute! More good ideas for favors too! I imagined the blue flower out of the coke bottle, the bottle acting like a vase. I hope to put something together in a week or so and post it for more suggestions! Any more ideas? So excited Smiley smile

    You may want to try a different fabric in the basket or maybe a blue gingham in there. I have black/white gingham table runners/tablecloths and when I did black/white gingham items in the centerpiece it looked just "too much" so I switched to using bandanas and it turned out really cute! Definitely worth a mock up. I LOVE the basket

    Thanks all! Great idea GypsyBride, I will look in to that!

    Jennifer, the baskets come pre-made with the red gingham. However, I haven't gotten my fabric for my tables yet, so that is definitely something I will consider (about too much red gingham). Maybe I'll do tables with blue or yellow gingham (my colors).

    So excited! Already did a paper mock-up, will be doing a real one soon! So appreciate having other brides to share with!
