Vintage wedding flowers in old medicine bottles.






Last Saturday, we did a wedding using country flowers and vintage medicine bottles for the reception.

The joy of finding those bottles of all shapes and sizes was immense, especially when they were not too expensive. Some of them even have the labels intact. We glued some cotton lace around the bottles and they almost take on a wedding feel immediately.

Various flowers were placed in these bottles, some with mouths so narrow that we could only squeeze in two stems of flowers. I thought it was natural and wild and the whole collection of ten bottles per table remind me of a nature table but with a bit more style and pizazz. The combination of nigella pods, alchemilla mollis and other small florets add texture and interest to the whole collection.

We like to call it our prairie take! Enjoy, and see how many flower types you can pick out.
