Wine bottle centerpiece ideas that aren't "Lady & The Tramp" candles!

How about having the tops cut off of them and then using them as a vase for flowers. Just make sure to cover all sharp edges!

Try these suggestions. I loved em until I realized I don't drink wine so it'd be expensive to make them lol...

Or another idea: you could wrap the bottles in fall themed fabric or paper and have some branches coming out the top or flowers that you like

Here are some other ideas I came across

Thank you ladies so much for the insight! I think I will talk to my FH about cutting the tops of the bottles off. I actually thought about doing the lights inside the bottle but I don't have access to outlets to plug them in.

There's also a way of making the wine bottles into lanterns with lantern tops. You can buy the glass top and the wick that dangles in the center of the bottle and then you fill the bottl up with kerosene. gives the romantic light without the tacky candles.

You could also use the bottles as your table numbers and then put your escort cards in wine corks. Here is a link for custom wine labels:

I am not sure why the custom wine labels link did not display correctly but here it is: http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_type=handmade&search_query=custom wine labels'&order=date_desc&ship_to=.

If you were thinking of light the bottles - you can use a floralyte LED light suspended inside. You may be able to source these at a craft store - but you can also purchase them at www.aqua-gems.com ... that would be really fun!

How about a ring of flowers at the base of the bottle! Blooms and curley-willow at the opening..Place colores winecorks and small blooms scattered on the table..

Good Luck!

Taggin along with the curly willow in the opening, you could use tree branches as well and tie stuff such as beads/ornaments etc with string. If you need cheap votives with the holders I would check out candles4less.com Got a 144 candles with blue votive holders for $60.

I saw this idea in Martha Stewart Weddings recently for using wine bottles as your table numbers and thought they looked amazing! :-)
