Once you’ve booked your wedding venue, you’ll be forgiven for spending weeks daydreaming about how you want the space to look. Get ready to spend about 80% of your day on Pinterest, if you aren’t already that is.
Centrepieces and table decorations are a great way to add a personal touch that reflects both you and your partner’s style – and don’t believe the hype, they needn’t be expensive.
We’ve searched through hundreds of listings on Etsy for the best seven unique options to help inspire you ahead of your special day.
Rose Gold Table Confetti, Wedding Decor Garden, Etsy, £9.13
These beautiful petals are handmade from satin individually and cost £9.13 for 100. They come in a range of colours, from light and dark pink to green, blue and burgundy. They work well scattered over white linen table clothes and arranged with pillar candles and foliage. And because they are artificial you can also keep them and reuse them for future occasions.
Mason Jar Fairy Lights, Purrls Place, Etsy, £1.27
These lights are designed to fit inside small glass mason jars - but please note that jars are not included with the lights and need to be purchased separately.
Batteries, however, are included. And you can get creative when it comes to where to put them. They work with glass lanterns, old bottles, and even old jam jars. Perfect for brightening up the evening of a festival-style wedding.
Rustic Ash Wood Tree Slices, Wood For You Store, Etsy, £5.50
These slices of ash tree can add a magical woodland feel to any wedding. They can be dressed with tea lights, vases, flowers, foliage or pillar candles for a rustic look.
Bicycle Wedding Table Number Holder, Wire Bicycles, Etsy, £6.75
Whether you like cycling, or you’re just a fan of that traditional wedding folk song Daisy Bell (A Bicycle Made For Two), these centrepieces are sure to look sweet upon your wedding tables, with a table number secured in the top.
Rustic Wedding Centre Piece Box, Red Acorn Interiors, Etsy, £5.50
Made from wood and twine, these boxes make for a lovely centrepiece filled with spring flowers, greenery or gypsophila.

Faux Eucalyptus Garland, Blue Orchid Creations, Etsy, £43.58
This garland is perfect for a boho wedding, and can be draped across the top table or around lanterns for a centrepiece. Because it’s faux, it won’t wilt - which is great if you’re setting up your own wedding in the days leading up to it and means it can be reused.
Copper Leaf Fairy Lights, Melanie Porter Design, Etsy, £24
These copper leaf fairy lights are ideal for bringing warmth to an autumn wedding, and look great paired with succulents. The seller, who hand makes them in the UK, also designs fairy lights with a holly leaf and pom pom design for winter, spring, and summer weddings.
