Faux Birch Centerpieces for an Outdoor Party
January 28, 2011
I love the look of this diy faux birch vase by Love & Lace. Wouldn’t it look lovely grouped in a set of three (at varying heights) as a centerpiece for an outdoor wedding or party? I’d house a beautiful bouquet of white flowers (such as peonies, garden roses and wax flowers) in each, or even long branches (like manzanita or pussy willow) that would stretch up over the center of a table.
Check out the full project and step-by-step directions by Stephanie here. It’s the perfect alternative to buying the real deal at ~$20 a pop…
Stephanie turned hers into gifts (a great favor idea), and because it’s essentially a decorated tin, made beautiful cookie containers out of the birch project! You could also use them as indoor decor for the mantle, dining room table or a kitchen nook. Be sure to check out her very creative blog while you’re visiting, too.
Happy Friday, everyone!

These are super cute and I love the idea of branches or pussy willows. Thanks for the inspiration. Carol
Too cute! I’m helping my cousin plan her wedding and I’ll definitely be sharing this idea!
This is a great idea! Now…do I do this for my next party…or do I just stick with my original idea of wrapping the cans in burlap…decisions, decisions!
Love the idea of burlap too! Natural elements like faux bark, burlap, raffia… all great for an outdoor party.
You’re very welcome!
Thanks for the feature Morgan! xx Stephanie
