Banksy-esque, street art-inspired, wedding centerpieces/table numbers
Our wedding had this sort of urban-eco theme going on. With street art. So we brought the streets to the wedding. In keeping with our invitations, guest book, and programs, this is what we came up with for the centerpieces.
Apples skewered on bare branches + purple calla lilies = tablescape that will haunt your dreams
