In this article, we shared 5 ideas on decorating glass bottles to add elegance to your event.
1. As Accents
Because of the versatility of glass bottles with lids, they can be used for different kinds of wedding accents. Here are a few you can consider:
Fairy Light Lanterns
For events in a closed hall or at night, consider using big or tiny bottles with corks as fairy light lanterns. This is done by filling up the glass bottles with lids with LED lights of different or single colours depending on your preference. What makes wine bottles a suitable choice for this is their variety of colours. You can combine different colours from clear to amber and green instead of using different colours of LED lights. They can be kept at strategic spots, on the tables or hung to the ceiling.
Hanging Terrariums
If you are a lover of terrariums, this is an idea you might want to try especially using tiny bottles with corks. You can add different layers of colourful pebbles, soil and your desired plants. This is a suitable idea that adds an eco-friendly touch to events.
2. Table Numbers
Glass bottles with lids can be used to elegantly guide your guests to their tables. This is done by Printing or handwriting the table numbers on labels and then affixing them to the bottles. You can leave the bottles empty especially if they are deep amber or green coloured bottles. If they are clear or light amber or green bottles, fill them with pebbles or coloured items to make them stand out and elegant.
3. Candlestick Stands
The versatility of the various designs of glass bottles with lids makes them a suitable option for candlestick stands. To use them, place a candle taper in them though it is advisable to use LED flameless candles to ensure added safety. To decorate the glass bottles, fill them with coloured pebbles, sand or any item that adds elegance to them. The best practice in selecting bottles for this is to use wine bottles with a wide base to achieve stability.
4. Flower Vases
Glass bottles whether big or tiny bottles with corks are an exceptional choice for flower vases, especially at parties or weddings. They are also easy to customise as you can decorate the glass bottles with stickers, paint, ribbon, twine, lace or raffia and by using specific glass bottle colours that suit your theme. Here is a pro tip: smaller or tiny bottles can be clustered together to create miniature flower gardens on tables, especially the larger ones.
5. Personalised Wine or Beverage Labels
If you are looking for a way to personalise wine or beverage bottles at your party or wedding, it’s not just possible but also easy. Print the content you want on the labels but be sure to measure the bottle and decide the kind of label you want to add to the bottles. You can print the label on waterproof stickers to avoid damaging the writeups when the bottle comes in contact with water. This custom label not only adds a touch of personality to your event, it adds elegance and style to your overall decor.
