Who doesn’t love weddings? All the cakes, iron, mints and nuts handed over to the silent reception are enjoyed by all. I have been to many celebrations where the couple chose the most delicious confections to serve as favors.
If you have a sweet tooth, why stop there? Turn your favorite candles, nuts and fruits into delicious centerpieces for the reception. The beauty of these treats is that they use some designs for a unique look…some are both centerpieces and appetizers!
the way to my heart is through my stomach. And I’m sure you’ll feel the same way when you share easy, beautiful centerpieces with your guests.
Election
Everyone loves chocolate. And what decade than a whole center dedicated to delicious sweets? Take pictures in the evening before they disappear.
victuals:
Cake stands (one per table)
Silver or gold plates (2-4 per table)
Mini cupcake liners
Petit four, bonbons, fruit marzipan, or other decorative edibles
Eaten shine
Both cakes stand in the center of the table. Surround the metal plates. Place candy on stands and plates, arranging them in concentric circles, star bursts, or other patterns. Nest the additional candles in the cupcake liners and place the length of the table. Sprinkle the lightning to eat.
make it easy:
I buy large boxes of different varieties at a reasonable price.
make it easy:
Add a splash of color to your candy. Stir in white candy clothing and food coloring until you have the desired shade. Place the candy on waxed paper. Let the rice be colored and harden. This is a great way to incorporate your wedding colors!
Best friends forever
Get a little nostalgic with these simple, sweet centerpieces. Added bonus candy that even adults will love.
victuals:
jars or canning jars (1-3 per table)
Old time candy like jelly beans, cumin balls, cinnamon bears
Classic toys such as jump ropes, Kewpie dolls and red wagons (miniatures, of course)
Ancient images of children
Fill the candy jars. Use several types of candy for an eclectic look. Place the jars and toys on the tables. If you like, sprinkle the table with additional cups or printed pictures of the children’s days of the past.
make it easy:
Search the Internet to find the perfect toys and pictures for your centers without paying too much.
Gold in Love
The centers are not floral, as we have already seen. Sometimes the best focal point is really growing on trees! This idea works best if the wedding colors match well with one type of fruit.
victuals:
Large glass bowls (1-3 per table)
Color the fruit at the right time
Long tied tulle (per table 2)
Iridescent glitter or confetti
Clear/white glue or edible glitter, optional
If you want a lot of sparkle, paint some fruit with glitter glue. When it dries, the poison will be colorless. If your guests are tempted to taste it, use sparkling wine instead. Mist the fruit lightly with water, and sprinkle lightly with sparkling water. Pile the fruit in bowls and arrange on the tables. Two strips of tulle run through each table, crossing them on either side of the bowl. He put a few fruits on the table. Or confetti for a sparkling finish.
make it easy:
Do you run fruit? Maybe not. Use a foam ball to cover the space in the middle of the bowls, where it won’t be seen. I will extend these decorative lemons by mixing them and placing them on the table.
Coins for each other
Floating candles are intrinsically romantic, and candles are beautiful and comforting. It’s a great layer of chocolate. Replace other candles according to your color scheme.
victuals:
Large glasses (2-4 per table)
Medium glass (1 per large container)
Red and white mints
Red and white floating candles
Make sure that the smaller vessels fit into the larger ones without the lip being too noticeable. Fit the two containers together and carefully tighten the nuts. Fill a smaller container with water. Add light to the candles. Garnish the dishes by adding mint.
make it easy:
Add more chewy sparkles! Use a brand new, clean bottle of paint with mint water, then spray with polish. When they were dry, they spread them on the table.
Nuts about you
I saw you flowers. You saw the lights. I saw you fruit. But what about nuts? No, not the family! These stores add centerpiece fabric while stepping away from the regular yarn.
victuals:
Tall, geometric bowls with wide rims (2-3 per table)
Mixed, crusted nuts
Cinnamon Sticks
pomegranate
Tangerines
Vanilla bean
Raffia
In each container, put a layer of nuts, topped with one or two fruits, a few cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans. Tie the remaining cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans into 2 or 3 circles, using raffia and a little glue if necessary. Sprinkle the cinnamon bundles and the rest of the nuts on the board.
make it easy:
Toss the round nuts into the dishes, and leave the tender nuts, such as almonds and Brazil nuts, at the table. If you really want round nuts on the table, make them more stable with three points of hot glue. The nut will sit on points like feet.
lust of life
These citrus fruits are a beautiful counterpoint to the beating fruit center. Use a design that ties in with your theme, such as hearts, spirals, or even stars.
victuals:
Large wooden baskets or bowls (2-3 per table)
Large citrus, such as grapefruit and oranges
Minor citrus, such as lemons and limes
The smallest citrus, such as kumquats
To coordinate uittta
You will tie the ribbons in the bows in the baskets. Using a zester, remove the rind from the large citrus fruit. Repeat the process with half the smaller fruit. Pile large and small fruit into individual baskets and arrange them on both tables. Place extra lemons and limes on the table near the baskets. Arrange the kumquats in the spaces in the basket and scatter them across the table.
make it easy:
Because the peel is not completely broken, these fruits can be kept for up to two weeks, and still give off a very pleasant aroma. Make them ahead of time and keep them in an uncovered container until the big day.
Evenings in the Vineyard
Wow your guests without feeling them with this center piece that is cozy and warm and smart. Frozen grapes have a frosty appearance and are delicious.
victuals:
cutting board (1-3 per table)
Wine glasses (1 per table)
Grapes (1 small bunch per table)
Cut the grated cheese into bite-size pieces
Baguettes or hard French rolls (1 per board)
Small glass containers as votive holders (2-4 per table)
Picks
Separate each cluster into clusters of 4-5. Freeze them for several hours or overnight. Place the notched panels on each panel. In the center of each cutting board, place a wine glass with the cluster resting on its edge. Place the baguette on a plate and surround with cheese. Fill the trays with straws and place them along the length of each table. Invite guests to sample treatments.
Make it easy: Save yourself a cut and whet your guests’ appetite by using a few large blocks of cheese per table. Instead of ladles, fill the bowls with additional grapes and leaves.
