Decorating with Wedding Decorations

So after our wedding, we had a lot of mason jars and random vases and candle holders left over that I had collected from different antique stores. 
Here are a few I had laid out when I first started collecting:

And here are what they looked like as the centerpieces at the wedding:

But anyways, I didn’t want to get rid of all of them yet.  After all, they were sentimental pieces left over from our wedding…  So, I decided to use some of them to decorate our bathrooms.  Both of our bathrooms have the same color scheme, which went along great with the clear, blue, and yellow colors of our vases.
We had a lot to choose from, so I just picked out our favorites. 
We received a bathroom wall shelf as one of our wedding presents, so it needed some love.  And, in the other bathroom, I made a shelf out of crates and it definitely needed some accessories too. 
Here is a picture of the bathroom wall shelf all decorated out:

And here is a picture of the shelf I made out of crates with all of our wedding centerpieces:


*I am so sorry I don't know how to rotate these.  :(  Please help.  My saved pictures are rotated, but I can't figure out how to do it on here.*

But anyways, I think they fit in nicely with the look and colors of both our bathrooms.  What do you think?  Have you kept sentimental pieces left over from your wedding and used them to decorate with?  Or did you not keep anything from the wedding besides pictures?
