    3. Fill the jars with faux eucalyptus or fresh flowers for a pop of colour.
    4. Place an LED tealight inside for a warm glow.

These charming centrepieces will add a touch of rustic elegance to your tables.

  • Steps:
    1. Sand the wooden boards to smooth any rough edges or purchase correctly sized perspex material
    2. Use stencils, print or freehand your desired text (e.g., “Welcome,” “Ceremony,” “Reception”) with white paint or chalk markers.
    3. For wooden signs; Let the paint dry, then lightly sand the edges for a distressed, vintage look.

Place these signs around your venue to direct guests and enhance the rustic vibe.
