This is such a wildly unique centerpiece idea. There's something incredibly old-fashioned about it. (And is it just me or does anyone else get a really chic pirate vibe?)
I LOVE this idea!!! So simple yet so elegant looking! Perfect timing for this post for me, thanks!
Gorgeous! What a great way to recycle wine bottles that just go to waste!
Fun! Easy but definitely glam.
how creative is that? love the colors!
What a great idea. Really cool and beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful. Leave it to TIG to prove that great style comes from imagination - not a money tree, (though one of those would certainly be nice).
Candle light paired with shimmering glass is always elegant and undeniably glamorous.

I love this. Very cool.
Love this idea! Usually I think wine bottle decorating looks tacky but the all clear bottles looks very cool. I may have to try this.
This is absolutely gorgeous. I knew I needed to go to the recycling center for something!
Gorgeous and so romantic!
How simple and so pretty!
Love this look! Seems like a table everyone would linger for hours. Beautiful!

i've only seen this in italian restaurants, but this looks a hundred times more stylish. i like the budget-/eco chic part of it as well.
Incredible looking table! Effortlessly elegant.
OMG, what a superb and creative idea! Cozy and romantic. I want to try this out! :) Happy Tuesday!
Absolutely love this idea for candle holders - looks magnificent!

it's dramatic, over the top and romantic I adore it
So so pretty! I have 8 of those lanterns in the salon of my 2 bedroom pavilion in Marrakech -- fun to see them in this image!
Oh what a perfectly stunning idea. xoxoxo
what a great idea!!!!
I'll try to recreate the colorful version of it with IKEA vases

What a fabulous look. It's inspiring me to do something like this for a dinner party next week.
Great idea! Absolutely LOVE those lanterns!
I bet it looks super neat when the wax starts to melt and build up on the bottles.
OMG. Great!

Such a cute idea!! Thanks for sharing :)
This is a great idea, looks awesome!!
kind of a gothy look, but then again not. love it. looks very nice. i think i would love sitting at this dinner table and just watch the pretty flickering candle lights.

Oooh la la FAB table!!!
This is simple, eco chic and elegant ! All what I love
This is a really beautiful, the only downside I could see is it blocks your view of the guests across from you, making conversation difficult. And I see what Brandie means, about the chic pirate vibe!! :p
Also, it reminds me of when my roommate and I hosted a Bohemian/ Moulin Rouge theme party last winter and used the same concept, candles in wine bottles. Only we placed them all over in every room! I really love this idea!! :)
Gorgeous. Gives great ideas for my favorite time of year... fall/winter!
Absolutely beautiful!
Was delighted to link to this beautiful post about using bottles with candles here:
