Centerpiece Mock-up

Wow I really like those bowls ! It goes so well with the centerpiece

Those are cute! Love the colors.

I like the shades off purple with the black.

The color combination works out so well! When ever I see those colors I think of a beautiful night sky under shinning bright stars so I loved how your bowls were actually stars!!! great job

I really don't want to be mean, but I'm not a fan. I think they look rather cheap and it looks very obvious to me that the flowers are fake. The wrapping also looks rather inexpensive. I'm not sure what you are going for, but it's just not my taste.

I'm on a tight budget, so I did the bottles with ribbon and I have no problem with the flowers being fake. It doesn't matter to me how realistic the flowers are as long as they're nice.

The bowls are super cute and I like the color combo. I do however agree that the bottle part looks a little cheap. They look like beer bottles to me with ribbon around them. Have you tried using old jars instead? Like empty glass pasta jars, wine bottles, empty jelly or jam jars instead? I would try using those and instead of wrapping the entire bottle maybe only do part (play with doing only the top and only the bottom and see how they look). Even mixing and matching the old jars would probably look really cute and rustic. Just a thought 😊

Okay I understand. Personally, I think the beer bottles with metallic ribbon looks tacky. The ribbon is what I think gives it a cheap feel. If you really want to use beer bottles, I wouldn't use the ribbon. I have included a few inspiration photos below that I think look more elegant than the beer bottles wrapped with ribbon. Personally, I wouldn't ever use beer bottles. There are tons of other options that you can get for pretty cheap. Like the other poster mentioned, you could use mason jars. I bought mason jars a couple of years ago to use as centerpieces for a birthday party and I got them from Walmart. They weren't very expensive. My mom decorated for our rehearsal dinner and she got everything from the Dollar Tree. They have a lot of different options. The last photo is how my mom decorated our rehearsal dinner.

Beer bottle centerpiece I Actually really like the idea of the bottles. I worked for some interior design companies and am very hands on with decor. and diy.

I was going to to do something similar but am doing it with wine bottles and leaving them as is either with a ribbon around three or one bottle (other small recycled jars around or fake leaves or pictures, idk).

I can see what they are saying about the ribbon, but only for when it reaches the top of the bottles. I have two ideas to help you, not only save you on time with the ribbon ( as I am sure it took a good amount of time) and maybe make you some more variation and keep your awesome colors sand theme.

I found this video for something I am going to try (with someone nearby to help if it goes wrong). https://pin.it/4lIXkbC let me know if it works.

Maybe try cutting the bottles for height variations. Add those fairy lights (See below) to one of the bottles that are clear. Then you can put every table with painted ones of the colors you have Similar to my images. See this link for ideas https://littlemisslovely.com/blogs/little-miss-lovely/j-s-wedding-at-the-covered-bride-inn-lewes-de

Or this one.

Or this where they just dipped (Lightly maybe at first) the paint and flipped it letting the paint fall on its own. Might be tricky.

For super simple (like what I want to do) is just clear off the labels off of the bottles

and do the image with the beer bottles from this link (https://www.weddingchicks.com/modul/gallery-11519-421831-german-summer-wedding-ideas-l-41-l-4.html ).

My images I know are not your theme exactly but just look past the rustic parts.

I absolutely love the bowls. And I know others have given you suggestions to change up your bottles altogether, but what if you glued the ribbon more tightly and uniformly around the bottle. A few spots seem bunch (that may be more because of the curve so what I’m trying to suggest may not have an impact). Or rewrapping it so that the ribbon doesn’t overlap so much and thus you’re not wrapping it quite so many times. Maybe it’s because the ribbon isn’t very wide, but I feel like the wrapping looks busy.


I’m also curious how it would look without the white ribbon. What if you had a circle base (silver charger plate or circle mirror) that helped to “tie” the bottles together without literally tying them together?
