Centerpiece: vase


We love this vase by designer Yuri Fukuda. We saved this picture and wrote down the designer but now I can't remember where it was found! Ugh... Regardless, beautiful and a great inspiration piece.

Centerpiece ideas



Here are two centerpiece ideas. The lotus bowls from Pottery Barn are reasonable (on sale for $20/2), simple and beautiful with a floating orchid or other bloom. The orange tea pot is a quirky alternative, but the color and detailed features of it make it both useful (why not fill with green jasmine tea for guests) and beautiful. Especially for centerpieces, you can think super creatively - anything goes! As long as it feels like you and the style you are trying to establish.

Champagne flutes


Look at these amazing champagne glasses. They are modern, fun, and actually functional - they keep your drink cooler because of the inside out design. Designed by Alissia Melka-Teichrowe, these hand-blown glasses are finally available on Rarechic after being on backorder for some time. Only $60 for the pair, they are a must for the style seeking bride.

Eco Vases


How cool are these?! Artecnica uses recycled glass from wine and beer bottles to create these tranSglass vases, which are in the permanent collection of MoMA New York.

Dinosaur Designs-Resin Beauty



I love the jewelry from Dinosaur Designs out of Australia. Most of it is made out of resin, but it comes out in such creamy and vibrant shades. They have a store in NYC too, which is where I stumbled upon them. Check them out. Cool stuff. Definitely a beautiful add to a wedding, whether the bride wears a cuff bracelet or the vases are used for centerpieces.
