Photo Centerpieces – Easy Table Centerpieces Using Pictures

I love using picture centerpieces as table decorations for any major celebration – a birthday, wedding or anniversary party.. It’s so much fun to see how much the people have changed over the years.

I’ve found some amazing (and easy) ways to incorporate photos as centerpieces. They’re great to use whether you’re having a party or a dinner.

DIY Illuminated Frames

80th Birthday Photo Lanterns

I love the look of these photo frames! You can buy inexpensive frames from Michael’s or Ikea – if you’d like, you can spray-paint them to match your color scheme.

The pictures themselves are printed on vellum paper, which can also be bought at your local craft store.

Tape the frames together, add a tea light, and you’ve got a lovely centerpiece.

Mason Jar Photo Centerpiece

80th BIrthday Mason Jar Photo Centerpiece

I found this charming decoration on Pinterest. These would be great table centerpieces using photos for a casual dinner or party.

Unfortunately, there aren’t any instructions, but this looks pretty straight forward. Just add your favorite photos to mason jars.

They added silk flowers, but I think if you wanted to use real flowers you would just need to put an inner container inside the mason jar to keep the pictures from getting wet.

Hat Box Photo Centerpieces

80th Birthday Photo Centerpiece Idea for Mom

Hatboxes make beautiful decorations for a woman’s party, and they’re actually easy to find at craft stores such as Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

Choose boxes of different heights and coordinating colors to add interest. I love how they added pictures in different styles of frames. You could even tape pictures directly onto the hat boxes if you’d like.

Cork and Candlestick Photo Holders

Here’s another cute – and easy – way to display photos on the table.

DIY Tea Party Photo Holders

Tea Party Photo Holder

Another fun find on Pinterest! What a charming idea for a tea party!

She’s repurposing old tea cup lids as name tag holders, but I think these would be adorable as photo holders as well.

Just twist wire (I’d probably look for white wire to blend in a bit more) around the handle and add a photo. Check flea markets or maybe eBay for vintage tea pots.

Place Card Photo Holders

Place Card Photo Holder

What a great idea – using place cards to hold pictures!

Place card holders are inexpensive and easy to find in so many styles…and how simple to use.

Be sure to put 2 photos back-to-back in the place card so that your guests will enjoy a delightful view no matter where they’re sitting.
