18. Hanging Birdcage Centerpieces
Add a touch of Victorian elegance to your reception tables by utilizing vintage-style wire birdcages as unique centerpieces. Source antique metal birdcages with intricate scrollwork, painting them in distressed white, gold, or pewter. Instead of keeping them closed, leave the dome tops or side doors open, allowing a lush arrangement of hydrangeas, peonies, and trailing ivy to spill out onto the table. Place a battery-operated pillar candle or a cluster of string lights inside the birdcage to cast intricate, romantic geometric shadows across the table linens as the night progresses.
