5 Beautiful Wedding Centerpiece Ideas
There are countless things to plan for during the run up to any wedding but it’s worth considering your wedding centerpieces as part of the overall scheme or theme of the wedding.
There’s no need to spend a fortune but use your imagination to create something that will enhance the color scheme and atmosphere of your wedding day.
The only limit to the type of wedding centerpieces you have at your wedding is your imagination. Don’t feel pressured to go with something traditional. Explore something more personal or fun too!
Need some ideas? Here are 5 great wedding centerpiece ideas to get you started:
1. Go with nature.
Flowers don’t have to cost a lot of money. They’ll always be colorful and attractive, providing they match your color scheme.
For a more traditional wedding try using Orchids or Carnations. If you want something a bit more original try Alium or Larkspur.
Something a little more exotic, such as Bird of Paradise or palms are dramatic and create an immediate impact.
Consider using pot plants as wedding centerpieces – they look great and can be taken home by guests afterwards as a memory of the day.
2. Fruit and Vegetables.
Wedding centerpieces you can eat are an idea worth considering that can add interest and originality.
Some popular combinations are strawberries and chocolate or lemons with white chocolate, which support a particular color scheme very effectively. The display could include a few pieces of fruit or a whole tower.
Pumpkins and squashes also create an impact and can add to the harvest or Halloween atmosphere of a Fall wedding.
3. Glassware and candles
Static or floating candles are another wedding centerpiece idea worth considering.
They could be static or even floating in water for real atmosphere.
The use of glass bowls or vases for floating candles is another interesting idea which allows for added color and shape.
Instead of liquid, why not fill the vases or bowls with stones or sand.
4. Be practical.
It’s easy to get carried away with creativity but don’t forget the practicalities when considering your wedding centerpiece ideas.
The size or odor of your centerpiece could put the guests off their food or stop them from seeing each other easily.
Over-powering smells could also be off putting when guests are eating.
Remember though that if your wedding is traditional, your centerpieces should follow suit but if you’re going for an original wedding, the skies the limit.
5. Theme ideas.
If you’re looking for something a bit different, here are some of the themes you might consider:
- Old-fashioned or retro (maybe a 60s or 70s theme?!)
- Oriental and themes of the Far East
- Ocean – shells, sand and pebbles.
- Country – wild flowers and grasses.
The options available are endless. I hope my wedding centerpiece ideas and tips have fired your imagination!
Hoping you have a truly beautiful wedding day!
