A personalised wedding vase carries the names, the date or a phrase in relief. The text is built into the piece itself. It is not a label stuck on afterwards or a later laser engraving. Spain's INE (National Statistics Institute) records the number of marriages held in Spain each year. Around each one there is an engagement, a top table, guests and anniversaries that repeat for decades. This list does not rank products: it ranks occasions. Each point is a specific moment with its own scale, text and filling. All the pieces are made of PLA bioplastic with a matt finish and are made to order. The starting point is the collection of personalised vases and flower vases.
The ten points follow a couple's natural timeline. The first four cover the wedding, from the engagement to the table. The next three are gifts for third parties and for the couple. The last three are anniversaries. Guest favours are covered in this selection of wedding favours.
1. The engagement: the date the answer was yes
The engagement leaves an exact date that the couple remembers better than the wedding date. A small vase with those four digits in relief marks the memory without ceremony. The Classic Stone-Textured Vase with Personalised Name starts at €5.99. The 8×12 cm size fits on a bedside table. The stone texture softens the relief and avoids a signboard effect. In Ivory White it disappears against a light wall and lets only the number be read.
Tip. Engrave the year, not the full date. A short number can be read from a distance; a long date cannot.
2. The gift when the two families meet
There is a meal at which the two families see each other for the first time. Arriving with a neutral object bearing a surname handles the moment better than a bottle. The Japandi Vase with Name and Lower Texture starts at €15.99. The text goes on the lower part of the piece. From a distance it is an ordinary Japandi vase. Up close the surname appears, without being on show from the door. That discreet register works when there is not yet much familiarity.
Tip. Choose the surname of the host household, not the couple's. The gift is for the hosts.
3. The top table centrepiece with both names
The couple's table needs a piece that is seen but does not block the view. The Personalised Ribbed Bulbous Vase with Name starts at €19.99 and its largest size measures 20×25 cm. Below 25 cm in height, guests can still see each other across the table. The bulbous body lowers the centre of gravity and holds a long branch. Bodas.net has been recording in its annual report the growing weight of personalisation in table decor. After the reception, the piece goes home with the couple.
Tip. One centrepiece with both names, not two with one name each. The top table does not suit split symmetry.
4. Place cards that guests take home
A cardboard place card ends up in the bin the next day. One with a name in relief stays on the shelf of the person who receives it. The 8×12 cm size does both jobs at once, from €5.99 per piece. With eighty guests the total soars, so it is usually reserved for the family table. Bodas.net has also been recording the rise in average spend per guest in Spain.
Tip. Order all the pieces in the same colour and vary only the name. Setting the table becomes instant.
5. The gift for best men, bridesmaids and witnesses
Wedding party members and witnesses almost always receive an accessory to wear that never gets used. A vase with the date and a short word changes the register. The Personalised Geometric Vase with Name costs €14.99 and measures 13×17 cm. The flat facets cast clean shadows and do not require a particular style at home. It is a mid-size piece: it fills a shelf without dominating the bookcase. It works just as well for a seventy-year-old godfather as for a thirty-year-old witness.
Tip. Engrave the wedding date, not the word "best man". The role is forgotten; the date is not.
6. The gift for a couple who already live together
More and more couples arrive at their wedding with a home they set up years ago. There, homeware is surplus and what is missing is a decorative object with meaning. The Customisable Fluted Japandi Vase starts at €15.99 and goes up to 20×31 cm. The large size works as a console piece or a low floor piece. With both names and the year, the message is complete.
Tip. Give it with the dried filling already inside. An empty vase leaves the recipient with half the gift still to sort out.
7. Keeping the bouquet, once dried
The bridal bouquet ends up hanging upside down in a wardrobe for months. A vase with the date gives it a purpose and brings it back to the living room. Interflora and florists' associations have been pointing to the steady rise of preserved flowers. The Personalised Sinuous Silhouette Vase starts at €18.99 and measures up to 11×30 cm. It is tall and narrow, so it holds long stems without them splaying. With the bouquet still fresh, you need a glass tube or inner glass vase inside the vase.
Tip. Dry the bouquet upside down in the dark for three weeks. Then trim the stems to the height of the vase plus fifteen centimetres.
8. Paper anniversary: the first year
The first year is celebrated with a small budget and a lot of intention. It is the anniversary when the couple is usually still setting up home. A small piece with the year in relief starts a series that will grow. The 8×12 cm size from €5.99 is the entry point of the catalogue. A second piece the following year and a third the year after build a graduated trio. The order of choices is set out in this guide to personalising a vase.
Tip. Always buy the same model and vary only the size. The series reads as a collection, not as clutter.
9. Silver wedding anniversary: twenty-five years
At twenty-five years the home is complete and nothing practical is missing. What is appreciated is an object with the two figures and the two names. The 15×23 cm size of the fluted model fits on a living-room console. In Ash Grey the result is understated; in Latte Brown, warmer. The personalised weddings collection brings together the other pieces for the occasion.
Tip. Write both names in lower case and the year in figures. Relief in all capitals tires the eye up close.
10. Golden wedding anniversary: fifty years
Fifty years is celebrated by the whole family, not just the couple. That spreads the cost and allows a step up in scale without a large individual outlay. The Customised Monolithic Design Vase starts at €34.99 and goes up to 30×30 cm. It is the only item in the catalogue that works as a floor piece. The relief text runs across the front and can be read from the living-room door. It goes with pampas grass or a tall dried branch, which is what its proportions call for. A piece from the personalised lamps collection completes the corner with its own light.
Tip. Leave half a metre of free space around it. A piece 30 cm across needs air to read as a sculpture.
2028 trend: colour, dried flowers and typography
This is the part that has changed most since the first version of the article. Three movements are taking hold ahead of the 2028 wedding season.
The first is about colour. WGSN and Coloro have been pointing to warm neutrals as a stable interior base for several seasons. In wedding decor, that translates into sand and cream tables. The saturated accent is reduced to a single piece. Pantone chose Cloud Dancer, a soft white, as its colour of the year for 2026. Its choice is announced each December, so the 2028 colour is not yet known. In the catalogue, Desert Sand and Ivory White cover the base. Dark Blue and Grass Green serve as accents.
The second is the filling. Interflora and florists' associations have been pointing to the steady rise of dried and preserved flowers. At a wedding, that means the centrepieces can be set up the week before rather than the day before. It also avoids the watertightness problem: without water, no inner tube is needed. With fresh flowers, the approach stays the same as always, with a glass tube or inner glass vase.
The third is typographic. Personalisation is moving from many small texts to a single large one. Instead of lettering eight objects, one is lettered and the rest accompany it plain. The large-format letters in the personalised letters collection go in that direction. On a vase, the practical consequence is choosing between names or a date, not both. The full catalogue of pieces with text is in personalised vases and flower vases.

What to check before ordering
Three points prevent almost every problem.
The filling. The pieces are PLA printed in layers and are not declared watertight. With dried or preserved flowers there is nothing to watch out for. With fresh flowers you need a glass tube or inner glass vase.
The temperature. PLA starts to soften at around 60 °C according to its technical data sheets. At a July wedding, keep the piece out of direct midday sun.
The text. The character limit varies by model and is worth checking before ordering. The differences are explained in this comparison with a catalogue vase.
Frequently asked questions
What do you give at a wedding if the couple already live together?
A decorative object with a date, not homeware. A couple who already live together have more than enough crockery and pans. A vase with the wedding date in relief fills the gap that remains. The fluted Japandi model starts at €15.99 and goes up to 20×31 cm.
Which vase works as a wedding table centrepiece?
A low one, under 25 cm tall, so guests can see each other. On the top table, the 20×25 cm ribbed bulbous model with both names works well. With fresh flowers you need a glass tube or inner glass vase. With dried flowers you need nothing.
What do you give for a silver wedding anniversary?
A silver wedding anniversary marks twenty-five years and calls for an object for the home, not jewellery. A vase with both names and the two figures of the year in relief does the job. The 15×23 cm size fits on a console table. The text is built into the piece, not stuck on top.
And for a golden wedding anniversary?
For a golden wedding anniversary the scale goes up because the whole family usually gives the gift. The monolithic vase starts at €34.99 and goes up to 30×30 cm. At that size it works as a floor piece in the living room. It goes with pampas grass or a tall dried branch, with no upkeep.
Can the bridal bouquet go inside the vase?
Yes, once dried or preserved. A freshly cut bouquet needs a glass tube or inner glass vase inside the vase. Once dried, it goes straight in and lasts for years. Interflora and florists' associations have been pointing to the steady rise of preserved flowers in decor.
What are the 2028 trends in wedding decor?
Three lines are taking hold. Warm neutrals as a base, with WGSN and Coloro pointing in that direction for several seasons. Dried and preserved flowers replacing fresh centrepieces. And typography as an accent, with a single large text piece instead of several small ones.
How many characters fit in the text on a personalised vase?
The exact limit varies by model and is worth checking before ordering. As a style guide, two names and a date already fill one side. If the text does not fit, the solution is to go up a size or switch to initials. The relief reproduces accents and the letter ñ.
To sum up
A wedding creates more gift occasions than fit on a wedding list. The engagement, the table, the wedding party and the anniversaries call for different objects and different scales. What unites them is not the product, it is the relief text built into the piece. That relief does not peel off or age like a sticker. With dried flowers, the object needs no upkeep for years. With fresh flowers, a glass tube or inner glass vase solves the problem. All the sizes and colours are in the collection of personalised vases and flower vases. Production is made to order in 24-48 hours. Delivery takes 3 to 5 working days to mainland Spain.
