On their own or as part of a grouping, dwarf fruit trees add instant charm to a table (and can also be replanted by guests or by you as a memento from the day). This couple used orange trees for the tables at their welcome dinner. Other varieties include lemon, apple, and pear.

For stylish centerpieces that are simple enough to DIY, mix glass bud vases with candlesticks and votives, then add the kicker—ceramic tiles—which add interest with pattern and color. You can even have them custom painted for your day. This couple incorporated them into the design for their wedding in the countryside of North Carolina.
