Champagne bottle vases
Empty champagne bottles have so much potential. Make sophisticated vases made by painting them white. You should also pour paint inside the bottle, swish around and then turn upside down to dry. That will keep the white nice and even. Fill with white flowers and string up crystals for a winter wonderland wedding.

Flower topiary
It involves sticking flowers whose stems have been cut off to a foam ball or other round structure. You can easily get one from the flower/wedding section of the market. You can use glue or pins to stick on the flowers and then stand on a candlestick holder.
