Easy DIY Reception Centerpieces

What to do when you have spent your entire wedding budget and have not yet even called a florist? Look for affordable DIY solutions! Here are a few little cuties that we found for those of you who are budget impaired or simply don’t want tons of fluffy flower centerpieces at your reception. We especially adore the wooden one for wintery wedding themes and the awesome concept of butcher paper with giant flowers (you could go with real ones or paper) scattered in the center.

Flowers in Antique Cans Purchase simple flowers and load them up in antique cans or bottles.

Tree Trunk Centerpiece Go to a construction company to see if they have any scrap wood that you can purchase.

Desert-inspired Twine Wrapped Jars Use everything from antique bottles to the olive jar that has been sitting in your fridge for too long. Clean them out and tightly wrap them with twine (adhere with a glue gun before each “row”).

Paper Flowers in Mason Jars This will save you money, but cost you a lot of time. Be self-aware enough to know if you are the kind of person who can make a hundred paper flowers. If you are, we tip our hats to you!

Wild Weddings

Weddings these days are becoming more about making a statement. In which ever you look at it. A statement of displaying your love to your nearest & dearest, or a statement of showing just how lavish a couple you actually are. Regardless, weddings are all about the details and making your guests have a memorable experience...


One of the most important aspects of your wedding? Venue ! A lot of couples are taking their guests into the wild and are getting married away from it all. In the bush, tented wilderness camps, riverbanks or remote safari lodges...Kenyan weddings can be informal and relaxed barefoot on the beach or relaxing under canvas- or completely formal, with black ties and wedding gowns in the bush. 

This cocktail of formality and wilderness has become a trademark of Kenya’s romantic safari lifestyle and is easier to arrange than you think. Kenya’s many private game ranches and lodges all make ideal secluded wedding venues.  

If having your wedding out of town is not a possibility, you don't have to go as far as you think... there are plenty of "wild" aspects you can use to incorporate into your big day...
