Wedding Table Decor: Centerpiece Ideas with Style
When you mention wedding table decor, most people think
immediately of floral centerpieces, but there's no reason to
confine yourself to 'wedding' flowers - or even the center of the
table.
The decorations that you choose for your tables can set the mood
for the whole room. If you step outside the traditional and let
your imagination stretch, you can come up with stylish wedding
table decorations that will be remembered long after the big day.
If you're planning a wedding that centers around a theme, for
instance, you can choose centerpiece ideas drawn from your overall
motif. Silvered driftwood planters holding a single hibiscus plant
and trailing vines can set the perfect tone at a wedding with a
Hawaiian theme.
For an Asian themed
wedding, perch an origami dove in the branches of a bonsai
tree at each table. Extend the decorations to the wedding favors -
elegantly simple origami cranes or lotus blossoms to send good
fortune home with your guests. Nearly any theme will present
unique decorating ideas like these.
Are you planning a holiday wedding? Take advantage of seasonal
themes to create beautiful, memorable centerpieces for your
wedding tables. Fill a painted miniature wooden sleigh with
evergreen boughs, and decorate with glass balls in your wedding
colors at Christmas time.
For a truly unusual and striking Fall wedding table centerpiece,
carve a pumpkin with a pair of doves and the names of the happy
couple. At Thanksgiving, let flowers spill from a woven
cornucopia, or fill pastel baskets with wildflowers in the Spring.
Candles have
become a very popular wedding centerpiece idea. Whether it's a
single elegant taper in a hurricane glass lamp surrounded with
flowers, or an assortment of decorated pillar candles arranged on
a mirrored surface, the play of light brings to mind promises of
the eternal flame of love. You can find many ideas for decorating
with candles at your local craft or candle store.
You can also combine candles with glass to create stunning wedding
centerpieces for any season. For an unusual and striking variation
on the theme of fire and water, start with a twelve inch circle of
mirror. Add an inexpensive brass 'crystal ball stand' holding a
glass bubble bowl.
Fill the bowl with water and add iridescent glitter and a few
drops of oil. Place a glass tealight holder beneath the stand, and
encircle the legs with a garland of miniature roses and greens.
Arrange a larger ring of flowers around the edges of the mirror -
and you have an elegant, romantic centerpice that works with any
wedding theme.
Finally, don't forget your head table in planning your wedding
table decorations. It's customary to keep floral pieces on the
head table to a minimum, and allow the bride's and bridesmaid's
bouquets to provide the focal point for the tabletop, but many
brides opt to decorate the edges and front of the head table
facing the hall. Floral swags and garlands are traditional
choices, but this is another excellent place to accent your
wedding theme if you've chosen one.

decor, be sure to check out our articles on

decorations.
