We saw these beautiful photos of some very cute wedding details over at the Bride’s Cafe the other day and we just had to share! We love little wedding details like these and this wedding had tons of them - almost all of them from Etsy shops!
How sweet is that little garland that’s being used as a table runner? And the mason jars are a really nice touch in their bright blue containers. Check out all of the details from this wedding over at the Bride’s Cafe.

Wedding Flower Arrangement Ideas
Apr 9, 2010 Creative Wedding Ideas, The Ceremony, The Reception, Wedding Flower Ideas
Creating your own bouquets and flower arrangements can save you a ton of money, especially if you buy your flowers directly from growers. You can create your own simple arrangements for your tables and bouquets without a lot of work or stress. Use a lot of flowers to create simple elegance for your tables.
- Purchase your flowers at the farmer’s market. Talk to the vendors and see what you can get from them. Many would be willing to aside some flowers just for you to pick up and buy before your wedding day.
- Buy a variety of flowers from the farmer’s market, too. A lot of them already have bunches of flowers ready to go, which you can easily transfer into your centerpieces.
- Visit thrift stores or flea markets and pick up vintage bottles for a steal. Lots of dishware and glass can be picked up a great price, saving you money and giving your reception a unique, homey look and feel to it.
- Save the tin cans from your food and use those as vases for your flowers. Pick cans with your favorite labels on them or strip the labels off and creative your own labels or collages for each table at your reception.
- Use something different for your vases, such as sake sets (which could also be used as favors), etched drinking glasses, used wine bottles, mismatched tea cups or pottery.
- Learn how to grow your own flowers for your wedding and what’s best to grow and when you should plant.
