Table numbers and centerpieces

CBW, on May 22, 2017 at 5:17 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 18

Maybe this is a silly question, but do I need to make separate table numbers and centerpieces, or can I incorporate them into 1? I made succulent arrangements in lanterns as my centerpieces, and was thinking about either writing the table number on the glass with a calligraphy marker, or attaching a number to the top of the lantern. Would that be a bad thing?

    That sounds really pretty! You can totally incorporate your table numbers into your centerpieces.

    No, that's fine, they can be incorporated into one.

    I think that sounds pretty! I would still add some smaller things around them though.

    Thank you! These are a couple examples of the centerpieces (I have a mix of sizes and colors). Would you write the numbers on the glass, or add something to the top?

    Is the marker white? I think white on the glass would look lovely

    Writing on the glass may be difficult to see if your reception isn't brightly lit. Maybe experiment with things you can put on the top. You can get really pretty vinyl stickers in your wedding colors, wooden numbers to glue on, etc.

    Love the centerpieces, btw!

    I love the laterns as center pieces, if you could I would write on the glass instead of having something on top. Just make sure it's easy to read, possibly a white or sliver marker?

    Your centerpieces are great. Very organic, and I love that you're doing a mix and match kind of thing.

    Would I write on the glass? No, I wouldn't. I think it would take away from what is, in every other way, perfect. Actually, I'd buy picture frames or stands for your table numbers -- whichever, as long as every table has the same frame or stand positioned at the same height. That will make it much easier for people to find their tables quickly.

    I love the top of the lantern idea! You can find some pretty ones, and then they'll be easier to see.

    Love those centerpieces! And I think not writing on the glass is your best option

    Here are a few examples where they combined a lantern and table number in case any of them appeal to you.
