Rustic Barn Wedding Reception calls for interesting centerpieces with vintage-inspired elements, soft floral arrangements, and lush greenery accents. In this post, I'll show you two centerpiece ideas that I used for the guests' seating tables. You can create these looks to match your own rustic theme using old books, mason jars, and a crochet table runner

Lay the Crochet Runner across the table. Add Wood Centerpiece circles to the center.

Fill the small white lantern with flowers. Fill the large white lantern with eucalyptus and a candle.

Use floral wire to create a small bouquet of flowers and tie it to the handle of the large white lantern.

Add your table number, and lay silver dollar eucalyptus across the table runner, and on the wood circles.

Add vintage books stacked on top of the wood circles and lay flowers on top of the books.

Paint a mason jar with white chalk paint and sand. Then fill that mason jar with flowers.
