When your guests sit down to enjoy a celebratory meal, they will be thrilled to indulge in delicious food, excellent company, and a festive ambiance!

Bring the table to life by creating a centerpiece that will work with your theme! Whether your wedding day is classic and simple or wild and extreme, you can develop a centerpiece theme that will work for you. Remember, each centerpiece will look fabulous on its own – and is also part of a whole look that will greet guests when they enter the room!

Do-It-Yourself Centerpieces

If you are looking to save a bundle on your nuptials, consider creating your own customized centerpieces! The basic rule is to make them either very low to the table or very high above the table. This will allow your guests to easily converse, without having to look around a large bouquet of flowers!

For the bride on a budget – or who just loves to put her own creative touch on everything – centerpieces are the perfect creative outlet! While they are traditionally made of flowers, you can be imaginative when it comes to your creations! Fruits and vegetables are often overlooked – but they can help to create a gorgeous centerpiece! With such a wide variety of colors, a trip to the grocery store can be a productive, economical, and visually stunning addition to a centerpiece!

Light My Fire!

Candles are an elegant and timeless alternative to the traditional floral centerpiece. For a whimsical look, float candles in vases full of water. For a beachy look, place three pillar candles into a glass goldfish bowl lined with sand and seashells. Tall tapered candles in stylish holders are a simple alternative to the traditionally busy centerpiece. For a tasteful look, use varying heights of candles, and group them in uneven numbers like threes, fives, or sevens. You may wish to avoid aromatic candles if you are worried about heavy scents.

Aqua!

Water is a gorgeous way to add life to your tables. Water can be dyed using a few drops of food coloring to match your color theme, before gracefully floating candles or flowers. The creative couple might even have a goldfish or two on each table – which a few lucky younger guests will love to take home!

Terra!

Take cues from nature to create seasonal centerpieces that are easy on the budget – and so fun to make! Elements like sand, seashells, stones are perfect for a summer wedding. Add natural pieces like driftwood, dried flowers, or dried herbs – perfect for the fall. In winter time, take advantage of local Christmas tree sellers, and pick up some fir boughs, which can be incorporated with candles for a centerpiece with festive flare!

Modern

While flowers are indeed traditional elements of centerpieces, you can create sophisticated and unique arrangements to reflect your style. Tall vases featuring single orchids are feminine and chic. Unexpected bursts of bright colors are funky, fresh, and happy – choose bold yellows, hot fuchsias, brilliant greens and daring oranges.

You can work with your florist to create one-of-a-kind centerpieces. You can create your masterpieces on your own – or with the help of a creative pal. You can even purchase pre-made centerpieces – check local classifieds for past brides looking to recoup some of their costs by selling off their wedding day décor at a fraction of the price! There are many ways to develop interesting and innovative centerpieces – and they can run you a fortune or a fraction! Have fun, and start your research early so you know just what you are looking for. Happy Creating!
