The centerpieces play an important role while decorating your reception tables in setting the style and tone of your wedding. Apart from serving as the focal point for eating their meals for your guests, unique and spectacular centerpieces also help adding a tinge of sophistication and beauty to your special event.
There are many types of centerpieces that are available in the market. Among them, most established and wanted ones are the floral centerpiece designs, and you can find a number of floral patterns in the centerpieces to suit your taste and as per your preferences. The commonly used ones are those with lilies or roses on them.
Before finalizing any centerpiece, you should always do some quick search in the nearby shops as well as online to seek the various possibilities and new designs at affordable prices. Also keep in mind; you can end up spending more if you have invited many guests, as you will need one centerpiece for every table. Therefore, it is always useful to plan your budget according to your guests. This way, you can plan and manage the total number of centerpieces that will be required finally.
To cut down the costs on centerpieces, you can opt for buying flowers yourself in wholesale, and then produce floral displays in vases. You can also use the bridesmaid's bouquets in place of purchasing newer centerpieces. This way, you will also be getting the best value for those bouquets.
Potted plants can also be used instead of the fresh ones as the centerpieces. You can always chose different flowers in combination and co-coordinating colors according to your wedding theme and set up. These will be lasting longer as compared to the fresh flowers, and you can further gift them too at the end of the day.
Other alternatives to floral centerpieces include using fruit or even candles. Along these two, the popular ones are the candles as they are mostly used with fragments and varying colors giving the surrounding environment an air of romance, further adding value, and grace to your wedding with that dramatic effect. Candles specifically look spectacular when the reception venue is dimly lit. Therefore, they might not offer their true value if you reception is held in the afternoon, in enough natural light.
You could purchase candelabras for each table for an elegant look, or consider the less formal appearance of floating candles in a large glass bowl.
If you plan to use candles, you should always ensure that the bowls and containers used for food are resistant to heat. Also, check with the venue for the use of naked flames.
Another alternative can be the applicable choices including fruits, candies, chocolates etc., which can be eaten later. You can use your imagination to display various edibles and trees, using ribbons, glitter, balloons, and streamers.
You can further use your creativity and be original when it comes to choosing and decorating your centerpieces. Therefore, you can use family photographs with picture frames (ornate, if you like), can place hand-written poems and so on.
If you plan to have, a certain theme based wedding, always chose, or create a centerpiece that will reflect the motif of that wedding. If centerpiece matches the theme of your wedding well, it will add to its beauty.
