Bud Vase Wedding Centrepiece
Alone, bud vases are cute. En masse, they come together to transform tables and elevate any space with ease.
Here at YouFloria, grouping bud vases together to create a larger display is one of our top wedding hacks — and we’re here to show you why they’re so fabulous!
DIY Floristry
Bud vase wedding centrepieces are a DIY florist's dream: they’re made in minutes, and can be thrown together with the leftover stems from bouquets.
Whether you opt for a uniform set, or a mismatched medley, these babies turn into something stunning when grouped together.
And, while they might seem simple, don’t underestimate their impact!
A selection of bud vases arranged together with a candle or two, and you have a jaw-dropping, budget-friendly display that’s certain to wow your guests.
How to Style Your Bud Vase Wedding Centrepieces
For the classic wedding look, go for a matching set of bud vases in either a colour that compliments your blooms, or clear glass.
If a laid back, Boho vibe is more your thing, then mix & match baby!
And this is where you DIY brides can get creative:
- Polished off a drink with a fancy bottle? Get that label off and save it.
- Check out your local charity shops for unloved glassware or ceramics that can be immediately upcycled with a few gorgeous flowers!
- Maybe you and your beloved shared a certain bottle on your first date? Order a few more for a meaningful display! (Lazy girl hack: leave the labels on to show off their sentimental value!)
- Ask family and friends to donate a vase or jar — either something with meaning, or something from their recycling collection!
- Jam jars offer a simple, rustic vibe for your centrepieces; why not jazz them up with glass paint, jute ribbons, or pearl embellishments?
Saving Money With Our DIY Wedding Hack
If you’re looking for affordable ways to create your dream wedding, DIY bud vase wedding centrepieces are the perfect way to achieve this.
Medium to large centrepieces often cost £75-£100 per piece — which can quickly add up when you have multiple tables!
Instead, gather your vases, jars and bottles, and fill them with buds and blooms for a cost-effective, visually stunning display!
For a small, sophisticated set, we recommend using 3 vases. For a large, luscious look, go for 7! Odd numbers help keep things looking pretty!
If you have trestle tables, place the bud vases through the middle if your guests are sitting at both sides or along the edge if they’re sitting along one row.
