1. Make Custom Bouts
Anne Marie PhotographyWrapping the bottom of boutonnieres with washi tape rather than ribbon provides a little more support, so you can count on it to keep heftier add-ins (like these wooden flowers) in place all evening long. And the tape adds a subtle, unexpected texture.

2. Use It On Your Centerpieces
Katy Weaver PhotographyAdding a strip or two of color-coordinated tape around a few centerpieces is an easy way to bring a whole tabescape together. Especially if there’s a frequent pattern in play, like chevron, which can also be incorporated through cocktail napkins, table runners, or paper straws.

Bailey Roberts PhotographyFor a wedding palette that spans a couple of colors, we’re willing to bet there’s a roll of washi to match. Play up prominent hues or incorporate a festive pattern into the mix. Add a strip of tape around vases, place cards, menus, banners or—when the time comes—seal your thank you notes.
