Seen at
current weddings – a wide variety of centerpiece options which complement the
theme of the wedding and/or reflect the couple’s search for “something unique”!
For fans of
traditional floral arrangements,
there is the assurance that given the right color combo and size, guests will
feel right at home with the idea of flowers on the table that complete the look
of elegant special occasions. Flowers
work beautifully as long as the arrangements are either low enough (under 12-14
inches) or high enough (at least 30 inches) so that guests can converse across
the table – or at least see each other.
Formal arrangements in glass or silver containers send one message,
while daisies or sunflowers in canning jars send another.
With the
changing view of wedding cakes, many brides are opting to make desert the
centerpiece of guest tables. Cupcake
trees, lollipop cakes, cookie and dessert bar assortments and miniature
versions of the bridal cake make perfect centerpiece options.
Guest favors
artfully arranged on clear plastic or glass trays work well when accompanied by
thank you notes from the bride and groom.
Candles of
varying height and shape arranged on mirrors make a wonderful centerpiece for
each table and their accumulated impact is wonderful. However, be sure to check the reception
hall’s heating/cooling system. If a lot
of air is going to be blowing over the tables, your candles won’t last long. If your reception is in a tented area, think
about LED tapers that look almost real.
Some brides
have made the wine being served with dinner an integral part of the
centerpiece. With some greenery and/or
wrapped cheese miniatures the different bottles make an intriguing focal point.
Collect a
variety of glass serving pieces and fill them with beverages (or water) the
theme color of the wedding.
