We Love: The Centerpiece Box Store

by Elianna Phelps

There is something so satisfying about a shop that does one thing, and does it really well. If you are a florist, a stylist, or a DIY- inclined bride-to-be, you need to know about the Centerpiece Box store.

Simple, well-constructed, wooden boxes are a great base for creative arrangements of flowers, candles, moss and greenery. Available in unfinished or reclaimed wood, boxes can be custom painted and engraved with table numbers, quotes, wedding names and dates, or decorative patterns. The reclaimed-wood option is perfect for rustic barn and beach weddings. Once you know where to get good basics, let your imagination (and your Pinterest boards) take the lead.
