Centerpiece Ideas
Candles
Candles make a very inexpensive table centerpiece and can add romance and elegance to any reception. You can try arranging several candles of varying heights together to form your centerpiece. Be sure to use colored candles that fit in with your color theme.
Small Potted Plants
You can check out your local nursery to find attractive potted plants or flowers to match your wedding colors and decor. You can often find potted plants for as little as $5.00 a piece.
Bridesmaids Bouquets
You could even use the bridesmaids’ bouquets as the centerpiece for your tables. It gets the bouquets out of the way and they are so beautiful to look at.
Hurricane Lamp
For a single candle use a hurricane lamp. They can be rented very inexpensively from your florist or other supply store. Add some greenery around the base, or silk or perhaps even freshly cut flowers to decorate the lamps.
Helium Balloons
Balloons make a festive centerpiece for a more informal wedding.
Fresh Cut Flowers
Buy fresh cut flowers from a flower wholesaler or market. You don’t have to be an expert floral designer either -- for instance, six fresh cut tulips or white roses look beautiful when simply placed in a small vase. This is a very simple, elegant and inexpensive way to have a floral centerpiece. For more on creating your own flower arrangement, click here.
Favors that Double as Centerpieces
You could also use your favors as your centerpiece. This is referred to as a "break away" centerpiece. Simply arrange your favors nicely in the center of the table. Round, flat mirrors can be used as a base to place the favors on. The favors can be boxes of candy, motive candles, tiny potted plants, miniature bells, dried flowers...
Food Centerpieces
Decorative wicker baskets with ribbon and/or material and put homemade bread or muffins inside. Or use a cheese board with cheese and crackers and garnish with fresh fruit or olives and peppers.
Floating Candles
Take miniature candles and float them in a large bowl filled with water. You can also add a few flower or rose petals in the water.
Candles and Mirrors
Place a clear candle holder with a candle (matching your color scheme) on top of a small round mirror. Decorate with ivy and flowers.
