Antique Tea Crates

Your rustic wedding will get an authentic and gorgeous touch with the Antique Tea Crates. It's hard to believe that this woodcraft started life at a craft store. Some woodwork and painting with tea gives these crates a rich vintage aesthetic that you and your guests will love. The crates make wonderful do-it-yourself table decorations for the wedding reception, but there's really no limit to the uses you'll find for these beautiful crafts, both at the wedding and in the home.

I love the look of these antique tea crates, they are very different and unique looking. I would love to do a trial one to see how easy they are or not, has anyone tried them out? I also love that they could be reused again after the wedding to hold stuff in )

I just love the warm, rustic, country feel that these crates bring to the centerpiece on the table. I have seen similar looks in wedding magazines and wondered how I could recreate the look myself. Now I have the perfect tutorial to give it a try! I think that some wonderful large hydrangeas or peonies would look amazing inside these crates. This is a stunning DIY piece. I can't wait to try it.

Love this look! It lets the table look both rustic and sophisticated. Is black tea the only stain that looks good on this? I would be interested to see other types that have different hues as well. Thanks so much for the article!
