Wine bottle centerpieces?

Oooo, I would love to see a picture of the green glass teacups...

I will be using wine bottles for my 2nd reception as centerpieces. I will be wrapping one with yarn/string (so many pictures of this on pinterest btw), and spray painting another with gold.

I would suggest either wrapping them in cream and blush yarn, or spray painting them, adding some stems in them, add little candles in your tea cups and surround around the wine bottles.

There are so many options

What about something like this:

You could do the ribbon in blush or cream to go with your wedding colors.

I like the pp's ideas. Since you only have 16 of the tea cups, maybe use those for the sweetheart or head table. For all the other tables maybe put candles around the wine bottles.

I wanted to do these, but they require cutting the bottle. They would probably look good without cutting them though!

I would suggest playing around with them and spray paint the bottles a champagne/gold color that would look nice with blush, cream flowers. If you are doing round tables that fit 10 ppl I would suggest doing 3 bottles, hopefully they are different sizes as I think that looks best. Maybe you can use these for your bridal shower if you get stuck and aren't sure what to do with them for your wedding. Pinterest is the best! Best of luck!

We are using bottles too! ( ours our vodka bottles but highly resemble wine bottles; I work for a liquor distributor) We spray painted them in our wedding colors and we are just putting a rose in each. very simple.

I had a friend do this at her wedding:

@Ashley ~ I wouldn't think you'd need 5-6 / table. I like the idea of using them as the table number, or something like the below!

Here's what we did. We also had little LED lights that we dropped into the bottom.

Be careful with the candles, the glass can get too hot if you don't do it right.

I've done wine bottle centerpieces at home and they really do look great, with flowers or candles.

These were ours:

Speaking from someone who cut the bottoms off of 7 dozen wine bottles...don't. just don't.

A) Labels are a son of a b*tch to get off. I thought this would be the easiest part. 'Twas a lie.

B) Dangerous - we tried every option to get the bottoms off, the easiest was the string, acetone, fire, ice bath one. Do this outside. Wear tight fit clothes, get some gloves.

C) Sanding - once you have finally removed the bottom of these little buggers comes the most tedious part - sanding the edges smooth. I gave up. We ended sticking them inside our succulent planter boxes cause it was so not worth it.

You have some great suggestions about with spray painting, or flowers inside, but please for the love of all things good, save yourself from this torture.

We are doing wine bottle centerpieces as well because we already had a bunch of bottles that FH was painting at home for fun (he's an artist). These are some suggestions our DOC likes, but we haven't finalized our plans yet. (Pic 1

We used wine bottles as table numbers and doubled as our thank you note.

These are what we did. they had twinkle lights in them, which can add up, but you can always add a lot more candles! The second picture focuses on the candles we made, but you can see the twinkle in the bottles behind them.

Also, I used a different method rather than the string and acetone we cut every. single. bottle. we had. and it was really easy! Boiling water and ice cold water, a score, and sandpaper will do the trick! no joke, we could get 20 done in an hour I'm sure. Its the shock method. you buy a $10 score thingy from amazon (if you're really interested I can find out the one I used), score it where you want to cut, boil water and use a pitcher with water and ice. Have your FH boil it up to the score line for about 20 seconds, then pour the ice water on it. Most of the time it only took one shock to do it and the bottom would come off. Have extras, because yes, sometimes it cuts crooked or cracks up the side a bit. Let them cool and do a light sand around the bottom of the bottle

I love @lauren's suggestion of using them as they are (green) as vases for your flowers, and adding blush or cream ribbon to them to match your colors!

I am so excited to see many people are using wine bottles as centerpieces! Our wedding will be at a vineyard, so we are painting the bottles in silver and purple (our wedding colors). Also, plan to put a flower(s), but still deciding which ones. Also, the arrangement will rest on a round mirror surrounded by small candles. We plan to use two bottles and insert a table number in a cork in one of them. I only have a mock up version in my pictures, and will update the post once I have finalized version.
