Wedding centerpieces

Centerpiece, is located at the central of the table. It serves as decoration item yet if it is personalized can also serve as keepsakes. In formal parties, a game is usually held after reception dinner and the winner(s) can take the centerpiece(s) home. Wedding centerpiece is part of wedding decoration that plays quite an important role in beautifying the table settings, especially head table and guest tables. This is due to the fact that head tables are where the couple sit and guest tables occupy the largest part of the room where the reception is held.


Signing table and gift table decorations usually do not include centrepieces, they are decorated mostly with family pictures, overlays, layers of organza with flowers and ribbons, or any decoration styles that the couple desire.
If the cake table is located at the centre of the room, the wedding cake is usually of a certain height and size so that it is visible by attendants sitting at the furthest table from the center. The wedding cake IS the centerpiece of the cake table but if complimentary decoration is desired, then it can be added as long it doesn't crowd the table and distract the attention from the wedding cake itself.

It is recommended that centrepieces at the guest tables and head table are similar, but since head table is in general square and longer, some complimentary centrepieces can also be added such as candelabra or small vases of flowers or other centrepieces that match the wedding theme. Flower centrepieces are very common and still popular and the same flower theme can be applied to the reception decoration e.g. arch and backdrop decoration. If the couple would like to apply their own unique and personal theme, flowers can still be added as complimentary if so they wish.


Candle centrepieces are also popular choices. They are affordable and leave enough room for creativity. You can place a candle in a vase filled with coloured sand, crystal gels or marbles. Combination of flowers and candles can also work wonders especially with the right colour combination. This type of centrepiece is not too tall and so it allows visibility of guests' faces. Tall centrepieces are usually not recommended since they will obstruct guests' visibility.

Hurricane candle holder is quite a popular choice for decoration when pillar candles are desired. They are available in quite a variety of colours that might suit the wedding theme or overall decoration. You can place the candle in a clear glass hurricane candle holder and surround it with floral candle ring or greenery. Floating candles are popular especially for outdoor weddings. They are available in huge variety of colours and cute shapes. You can also add marbles at the bottom to make it look prettier.


For those who prefer to use tall humongous centrepieces, it is recommended to use tall flower vases but choose the vase type wisely, you don't want the visible centerpieces to create visible damage. Pick the vase with sturdy base, so it doesn't fall easily when someone stands up. The florist would know how to arrange flowers in such manner that will balance the weight and the looks. Another option would be tall candelabras, these ones are mostly more sturdy than tall flower vases and do not obstruct visibility.
