10 Memorable Centerpiece Ideas
If there's any wedding decoration you shouldn't overlook, it’s the centerpiece. The very name implies that it's a high-profile decoration, and its place in the middle of the table of guests makes it even more worthy of extra time and effort. But not all centerpieces have to be daunting. Here are some ideas that will leave the guests impressed without leaving you in a mess!
- Floating Candles and Rose Petals
Not only is this inexpensive, it's beautiful for evening weddings. All you need is a shallow vase (about 2-4 inches deep) filled with water, a few floating candles, and rose petals sprinkled around the water. - Gerbera Daisy Pads
This is a beautiful and easy display for spring and summer weddings. Simply snip the stems off of a few gerbera daisies, then float the flowers in a pool of water in a shallow vase. That's it! - Lemons and Limes
A "centerpiece" doesn't always mean flowers. Another perfect idea for a spring or summer wedding is a beautiful clear bowl or vase filled with either or both lemons and limes. The best thing about this is, you can enjoy the fruit afterwards! - Sweet Fruits
Beautiful for evening and winter weddings is a silver-colored bowl filled with sugar-coated fruits such as apples and pears and grapes. The way the light reflects off the sugar crystals makes the centerpiece even more special. - Zen Bamboo
There's something refreshing about being around bamboo trees, and that's just what guests will feel around a centerpiece made of bundled bamboo stalks. It's not only beautiful but the bamboo will live much longer than other floral arrangements. - Potted Plants
Having an outdoor wedding in the spring or summer? There's nothing cuter than a geranium, gerbera daisy or cyclamen planted in a colorful pot. Plus these centerpieces make great take-away gifts for guests. - Candle Pillars
To really set a romantic mood, candles are the way to go. Try three pillars of candles in differing heights, all set on a pretty plate. They'll help create a warm and cozy atmosphere, perfect for winter and fall weddings. - Blooming Paper Bags
If shabby chic is your style, then you'll love the look of a beautiful bouquet of daisies or sunflowers in a vase or jar, set inside a white paper bag and tied with a colored ribbon. - Dried Lavender Bouquet
A beautifully-scented room is a quick way to make guests feel special. A bouquet of dried lavender tied with a lovely ribbon is a unique way to scent a room and beautify a table. - Wine Glass Goodies
What's the perfect icebreaker at a guest's table? An assortment of candies to nosh on as the receptions gets underway. A cute and eye-catching way is fill several wine glasses, each with a different candy such as Red Hots, M&Ms, jelly beans and more.
