DIY Mismatched Outdoor Reception Decor

"Even though my bridesmaids were wearing purple, we didn't want purple to be a 'theme,'" says Alixandria. "We wanted to use all colors." The centerpieces were mismatched vases with different colored wild flowers. The dining tables at the reception were picnic tables with burlap sacks for table covers. The mother-of-the-bride provided mismatched vintage china for the dining ware.
