DIY Centerpieces with Rustic Charm

Use a salvaged plank as a narrow runner. Scatter tea lights in thrifted holders, tuck eucalyptus sprigs, and anchor with a small pitcher of blooms. We once etched a family date into the board—guests loved the story.

Lighting that Glows from Dusk to Stars

Drape warm-white string lights in soft swags above the table. Edison-style LEDs sip just a few watts yet create a nostalgic glow. Snap a photo of your canopy and tag us so we can feature your setup!
