The possibilities are endless when it comes to planning a wedding, but sometimes all those options can be overwhelming. Here at Brit + Co, we’ve shared our favorite gown trends, favors and makeup looks, so now we’re moving on to the most unique wedding tablescapes around. Scroll on to gaze at centerpieces, tablescapes and place settings — oh my!
1. Vines: Forget boring vases with white roses. Why not take it to the next level with an entire vine? (via Two Foxes Photography)
2. Repurposed Book: Bookworms, rejoice! This table runner is right up your alley. (via Studio EMP)
3. Cactus Stack: Um, we didn’t know that cacti could be made into this cute of a centerpiece. Add a natural flair with rocks and simple flowers. (via Mike Olbinski)
4. Yellow Roses + Greenery: Not only are we obsessed with these gold dipped glasses, but we’re also loving the hot air balloon lights. Tip: Tablescapes don’t have to stop at the table. (via 5ive15ifteen)
5. Wood Blocks: For a rustic-chic look, use natural wood blocks for the center of the table and wood sheets as placemats. (via Moss and Isaac)
6. Unique Name Cards: Add a personalized touch to your guests’ place settings with laser-cut place cards. (via Paige Jones)
7. Alice in Wonderland Inspired: Going for a themed wedding? This Alice in Wonderland-inspired table is calling your name. (via Weddings by Nicola & Glen)
8. Music Sheets: If you’re a guitar pro, then this table number idea is a must-try. Not only are they ultra unique, but they are also an extremely affordable DIY option. (via Jen Huang Photography)
9. Mixed Metallics: We’re swooning over these branches mixed with metallic touches. Oh, and our love for the magenta flowers is a given. (via Tasha Schalk)
10. Potted Succulents: Stretching the dollar? Then this table decor is a must. Simply pot a few succulents and place on a simple white table runner. (via Paper and Lace)
11. Upcycled Cake Plates: Cake plates don’t have to be used for *just* cake. Add fun florals and antique place settings for a shabby-chic look that takes the cake. (via Ryon:Lockhard Photography)
12. Strawberries: This is the best idea for an outdoor wedding. Add a berry basket of strawberries to each plate for a colorful addition that’s edible too. (via Phillip Van Nostrand)
13. Bright Table Runner: When in doubt, add a bright table runner. It ties everything together while adding a serious statement. (via Paula Bartosiewciz Photography)
14. Wood Crates: Stuck on what to use for table numbers? We’re loving this upcycled wooden crate. The best part? When the wedding is over, these will make great storage in your new home! (via Arrowood Photography)
15. Balloons: If you’re looking to go bold (and we mean bold) with your center piece, add a statement balloon to your tables to celebrate the big day. (via Analisa Joy Photography)

Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
