Wedding season may be months away, but it’s never too soon to start designing table settings and party favors, especially if you plan to make them yourself. Table center pieces for the reception or bridal shower can be personalized to match your colors or theme.
I found everything for this elegant table decoration at Goodwill.
Instead of buying fabric by the yard, look for lace blouses in colors to coordinate with your theme. Choose tops with a bit of spandex. A little stretch makes the project easier to do.
Start collecting wine and water glasses. They don’t need to match, just pick ones that have a similar look in a variety of sizes. I liked the look of stemware with straight sides and they’re easier to work with than curved glasses.
Coat the glass with a thin layer of Mod Podge (or make your own with equal parts white glue and water). Cut the lace to fit and attach to glass. You might have to hold it in place while it dries. Trim the top edge even with the rim.
Arrange the trio on a charger and scatter baubles or ornaments. The result is a high-end centerpiece, but you did it yourself!
Tips:
- Remember to work with odd numbers
- Look for coordinating chargers, plates or trays
- Fill in with “jewels” or marbles, confetti, beads, pearls, whatever goes with your style.
