Great Ideas on Wedding Reception Centerpieces

October 20th, 2009

Wedding reception centerpieces may not earn a spot near the top list of the details that need a lot of planning in your upcoming wedding but do not misjudge how valuable they are in the flow of your reception.

Tips on choosing centerpieces

The wedding reception centerpieces should compliment your theme and other decoration choices. Avoid choosing something that is tacky or overdone. Stick on short, simple but fits well in the center of the tables that you will be using. Big bouquets where the guests can’t see across the table are not advised. If you are in a tight budget, avoid using centerpieces that can lead guests talking poorly about your wedding reception.

You can also make your own centerpieces. This way you will be able to choose your own design. Make sure that you buy the materials for only one item first and once you see that they perfectly match your tables, you can purchase all the materials that you need for all the tables. This adds personal touch to your centerpieces making your wedding more special for you.

Some practical popular wedding centerpieces that will not cost you much:

• Flower Themes: You can use delicately sprinkled petals, large floral displays and you can also consider flowers as stand-alone centerpieces.
• Photo Themes: The couple can use pictures from favourite events, childhood memories and display them in vases or frames at the center of the tables.
• Mini-cake Themes: One mini-cake version of the wedding cake can be placed at center of each table. It can serve both as a decoration and dessert as well. It proves to be more practical.
• Well Lit Themes: A dimly lit room will be more romantic with candles as centerpieces. The couple could experiment with the candle heights, shapes and textures to come up with a perfect decoration.

The list is unending. All you need to do is be creative and imaginative so as to come up with wedding reception centerpieces that will be highly appreciated by your guests.

    IF YOU DON’T DECORATE…

    Your guests will enter and not be able to tell whether they are at your wedding or an Amway meeting.

    Put a little something on the tables. Even if it is the lame mirror with hurricanes, at least it is something.

    DECORATE WITH FLAIR…IT WILL PUT YOU IN A BETTER MOOD!
