Don’t try to do it all yourself – delegate! Enlist friends, family or members of the wedding party to help you put together the centerpieces closer to the wedding day. It can be a fun, bonding experience and everyone will appreciate the results.
1. Fruit and Floral Bowls
- Fresh and Vibrant: Use shallow bowls or compote dishes, fill them with citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, or limes, and add a few flower blooms. This is especially beautiful for summer weddings.
- Natural Elegance: For fall, use apples, pears, or even mini pumpkins and mix them with seasonal flowers.
2. Mirrors and Candles
- Elegant Reflection: Place a small mirror tile in the center of the table, then arrange candles of varying heights on top. Add small floral accents or greenery around the candles for extra charm.
- Modern Twist: Use geometric candle holders or metallic accents on the mirror for a sleek, modern look.
3. Burlap and Lace Jars
- Country Romance: Wrap jars with burlap and lace, and fill with baby’s breath, sunflowers, or daisies for a rustic centerpiece. Use different-sized jars for added depth and interest.
- Add Photos or Messages: Place small photo frames or cards with meaningful quotes next to each jar for a personal touch.
4. Small Potted Plants/Herbs
- Green and Sustainable: Use small potted plants like succulents, ferns, or herbs such as rosemary or lavender. These can double as favors for guests to take home.
- Minimalist Chic: Paint the pots in wedding colors or wrap them with fabric, twine, or ribbon.
5. Floral Hoops
- Whimsical Vibe: Use embroidery hoops, floral wire, and silk or fresh flowers to create floral hoops. Hang or lay them flat on the tables for a boho-chic look.
- Personalize with Initials: Add initials, table numbers, or small signs to the floral hoops to make them extra special.
6. Vintage Teacup
- Perfect for a Vintage or Garden Theme: Use vintage teacups and fill them with flowers like roses, baby’s breath, or peonies. Arrange several teacups on each table, or use one as a delicate statement piece.
- Stacked Saucer Displays: Stack teacups on saucers and place a small tea light or flower on top for a charming, layered effect.
7. Hanging Flower or Greenery
- Unique and Eye-Catching: If your venue allows, hang floral or greenery arrangements over each table instead of placing them on the table. This creates a floating centerpiece effect and frees up table space.
- Perfect for Boho or Garden Themes: Use flowers, vines, or dried foliage, and hang them from hoops, chandeliers, or arches above the tables.
8. Shells and Sand for a Beach Wedding
- Seaside Simplicity: Use clear glass bowls, vases, or jars, and fill them with sand, shells, and a small candle. This simple yet elegant idea is perfect for beach or summer weddings.
- Add Sea Glass or Starfish: Incorporate sea glass, starfish, or coral pieces to add color and texture.
Have fun!
