Here at Rustic Wedding Chic, we love the idea of repurposing random objects into unique rustic wedding decorations for your wedding – it’s like the cornerstone of rustic weddings! Today’s object of transformation is none other than the wine bottle. Wine bottles come in so many shapes and sizes, which makes them extremely versatile. There is no end to what you can do with them! Take a look at 15 of my favorite ways to incorporate wine bottles into your wedding decor. Check out our entire wedding DIY ideas section for more ideas like this!

1. Table Numbers

Wine bottles’ tall and lean shape make them the perfect posts for displaying table numbers at your reception. You can paint the numbers directly on the bottles, or you can hang them off their necks like the one shown here. Either way, it’s a simple and affordable project that even the most novice DIY’ers can handle.

2. Aisle Decorations

Some wine bottles are already such a vibrant color that you won’t want to paint them! This bright blue bottle pops against the surrounding white details and makes the perfect hanging vase for your outdoor wedding ceremony.

3. Chalkboard

With just a little chalkboard paint, you can turn basic wine bottles into charming canvases.  Shop Etsy for custom creations like the one shown above, or use the opportunity to get creative and show off your artsy side! This couple kept it simple with their names, but the options are endless!

4. Simple Flower Vases

Transform clear wine bottles into elegant and sophisticated flower vases. Simple yet beautiful, they are the perfect centerpieces for your rustic chic wedding!

5. Candlestick Holders

What’s more romantic than a room lit with traditional candlesticks? Wine bottles make perfect candlestick holders because of their long and narrow necks.  Not to mention, the clear glass adds that simple elegance.  Definitely a must-have at your rustic chic wedding!

6. Ring Toss

Wine bottles are not limited to classy decorations. Take a fun game of ring toss, for example, and you’ll see that there are plenty of fun ways to incorporate them into your rustic wedding!   Not a DIYer? Find it here on Etsy along with many other fun creations!
