D.I.Y – Parisian Spring Picnic

DSC00193 Cornell410

We aren’t wine experts, but we do know that if you are looking to reuse some of your prettier wine bottles, then you might find them of value as centerpieces.  In the pictures above, we delicately arranged flowers in wine bottles for Julie’s wedding.  It was unobtrusive, yet subtly sophisticated and familiar.  The centerpieces that you create don’t have to be for a wedding, but used in your own home.

If you are entertaining guests, you may decide to pick a “Parisian Spring Picnic” theme. Placing a lovely floral arrangement in your (empty) wine bottles can bring your picnic to life, even with eighteen inches of snow outside!

You should briefly consult with your florists if you really want to find the prefect flowers to compliment your glass bottles. It might be important to have lush yellow flowers with a blue wine bottle, but white orchids for you black wine bottles. If you are truly dedicated, then you can even use flowers that evoke feelings of Paris in the spring, such as yellow Tulips and Hyacinth flowers. Oo-la-la!
