DIY: Centerpieces

My goal for our wedding, from the very beginning, was to have a unique event that showcased who we are, both as a couple and our personal interests.

So when it came to centerpieces, I was trying to think outside the box. I thought fruit might be fun and summer appropriate, as was featured in this backyard wedding on Little White Book. And I've already mentioned my general disenchantment with flowers, so that was out.

And then, I stumbled across this fantastic wedding featured on the always amazing Offbeat Bride and more specifically, the centerpieces:


Yes, yes, yes! Sign me up for that! How cute are those puppies? And perfect for the bookworm bride who read at recess and the groom that reads encyclopedias in his spare time.
