Wedding Centerpieces

Wedding centerpieces are those bits of glamour that decorate the center of the tables at the wedding reception. No matter the form these centerpieces take, they add sparkle and pizzazz to the buffet or reception tables. Elegant and beautiful these works of artistic design are the tangible wedding memory guests would like to take home.

Reception table centerpieces can take any form, color or size and be created from just about anything your imagination can come up with. While many people choose to purchase these works of art, more and more brides use their creativity and save a ton of money by using the do-it-yourself method. The nice thing is that there are no rules about these table centerpieces. If you can imagine it and create it, it will be perfect for the occasion.

There are only suggestions when it comes to wedding table centerpieces, but they are very simple and more commonsense:

  1. Table centerpieces should have a low profile, so they don’t interfere with the guests’ ability to see and talk to each other across the table.
  2. Give the wedding centerpieces away. There are a couple of ways to do this:
One is to place a note or number under one seat at each table. Then at some point during the reception, you or a member of the wedding party requests the guests to look under their chairs to find out who gets to take home the centerpieces at their table.

Another is to hand out two-part tickets to each guest as they come into the reception. Then at some point during the reception have a drawing for the table centerpieces.

Either method will generate some additional excitement during the reception as guests eagerly hope they will be one of the lucky winners

The design of your centerpieces is only limited by the scope of your imagination. Design the decorations for the reception tables employing the theme or colors of your wedding. If you can conceive of the idea then you can create unique centerpieces that will delight your guests and enhance the atmosphere of your reception.

You can keep the cost of your wedding centerpieces very low by shopping at the dollar store. There you will find candles, candleholders of all types and colors, silk flowers, colored glass pebbles and all types of decorative bits and pieces that can be combined to create your centerpieces. There you will find vases of all shapes and sizes, small gift bags, tissue paper, ribbon and a multitude of other items that you can use to create beautiful works of art that your guests will be thrilled to take home.
