Wedding Wine Shades

Sometimes simplicity is the ultimate elegance, especially when it comes to choosing decor ideas for your wedding centerpieces. If you're having a smaller wedding celebration, it's important not to diminish the intimacy of the day by trying to incorporate extravagant floral arrangements or overly-complicated design choices. I think this is the reason why I'm so in love with this set of charming wine shades sold by Anke and Katrin from the designers cooperative Dekoop in Hamburg.

These parchment lampshades easily slip over your wine glasses to transform them into cute miniature table lamps! The wine shades glow with illuminating imprints of pleats, pearls and fringes when you add a simple (and inexpensive) tea light to the mix. Perfect for a small wedding tablescape!
