3 Simple Ideas for Wedding Centerpieces

By: Tyler Resse As you have probably figured out by now, a wedding has many little details to work out, from what invitations to get, to the organization of the ceremony, to the plans for the reception. And then, every individual detail has a big list of things requiring detailed planning.

More than just a decoration for each table, wedding centerpieces can add to the beauty and glamour of your entire day and not just the reception. When planning what centerpieces you may use, bare this in mind.

Edible wedding centerpieces can sometimes make a unique and desirable decoration for your table. Targeting the taste buds of your guests rather than just their sight and smell, may leave a delicious and lasting effect. You could for instance place candy with brightly colored wrappers on the table instead of flowers or fill a vase with chocolates covered in your wedding theme color.

Watch any Hollywood movie with a wedding in it and you'll notice the elegant use of flowers as the core of the wedding centerpieces. It's hard to go wrong with a bouquet of flowers as a centerpiece, since flowers can offer both color and fragrance to a table. Once you have flowers and a vase, you have a base to create any number of decorative centerpieces using feathers, non-flowering plants, and other embellishments. This choice is simple and should be easy to pull off especially since there are so many unique arrangements you can choose from.

Candles can be used together with other centerpieces or on their own. You could make use of a few large candles as the main centerpiece or you could use a wide-mouthed vase or bowl and float small candles in some water. If the overhead lighting in the room is fairly dim during the reception, candles can add an enjoyable ambiance not only to the room but also to each table.

Combine your wedding favors with your wedding centerpieces for instance can create a way to personalize each table for your guests. Little bags of candy or other favors can surround a single centerpiece, creating something that looks great with the favors there and still looks beautiful once your guests have taken their wedding favors.

If you brainstorm a little you will uncover many useful ideas for your wedding centerpieces. They don't have to just be ornaments. You can make your centerpieces functional so they aren't just discarded after the wedding. Combining them with favors for example can assist with place setting for your guests.

Just remember to see the bigger picture. The centerpiece idea you go with may look amazing and ideal in a picture or on one table but make sure the one or the combination you choose works to your satisfaction in the place you have your reception in. Make sure whatever you put on the tables enhances the atmosphere of the room and is perfect for the photographs you take.
