You Might Regret Throwing It Away: That Empty Bottle

Future brides, do you have any empty bottles at home?

For example, empty bottles from alcoholic drinks or empty bottles like Martinelli or cider that you received as wedding favors.

Many households might be throwing them away after using them, but it could be a waste to just toss them away...!

This is because empty bottles hold the potential to be used as stylish and antique items for wedding decorations.♡

Some products known for their stylish bottle designs on Instagram include:

☑ Vodka brand "Smirnoff"

☑ Carbonated apple juice "Appletiser"

☑ Apple juice "Martinelli"

☑ Barley shochu "Ichiko Flask Bottle"

And many more!

In this article, we will introduce some wonderful ideas for using empty bottles at weddings, as remade by brides after their ceremonies.

Use for Empty Bottles #1: Welcome Space Decoration

The first idea is to use seven empty bottles of different shapes and sizes with a single flower in each, decorated in the welcome space.♡

The highlight is the sides of the empty bottles. Each bottle has a sticker printed with the word WELCOME.

They turned them into DIY welcome bottles instead of welcome objects!♡

It creates a retro and stylish atmosphere with an antique feel.

Use for Empty Bottles #2: Table Numbers

Using empty bottles as table numbers is a classic idea among brides, isn't it?♡

However, even when it comes to table numbers, the decoration and arrangement methods can vary widely.♩

In this case, the bride stuck a label with the table name onto a beer bottle from abroad for a DIY touch.♡

The idea of attaching the table number paper to a stick and then inserting it directly into the empty bottle is also lovely!♡

Wrapping twine around the bottle makes it look more natural and stylish.

Use for Empty Bottles #3: Centerpieces for Guest Tables

Another idea is to use empty bottles as vases for flower arrangements on the tables for the after-party.♡

Putting just one flower in them creates a simple and elegant atmosphere, while filling them abundantly as seen in this photo gives a vibrant and striking impression.

It’s recommended to choose the color of the empty bottles as well as the color and quantity of the flowers according to the wedding theme and concept.♩

Use for Empty Bottles #4: Container for Photo Props

The last idea is to utilize empty bottles as containers for photo props.

Choosing transparent empty bottles, like this bride did, allows the design of the paper straws to be visible, which is an attractive point.♩

Your attention to the container for the photo props will surely impress stylish guests!♡

You Can Buy Them Even If You Don’t Drink!

Empty bottles are very useful for wedding decorations, but some brides might say, "I don’t drink much alcohol, and I don’t have any empty bottles at home!"
