Unique Wedding Centerpiece Decoration Ideas
You’ve no doubt searched high and low for the perfect wedding
centerpiece decoration. If your aim is to make your guests ‘oh’
and ‘ah’ when they walk in and see what is on the tables, here are
some ideas that may inspire you.
| For wedding centerpiece decorations, we recommend
SHOP.com for large selection and low prices. Do a site search
for 'wedding centerpiece'. For more online merchants, please visit our

Try an edible centerpiece!
Who is to say a wedding centerpiece decoration has to have
flowers? Why not try something different and let your guests eat
their way through the centerpiece? Ask your caterer about sample
‘tower’ centerpieces. There are many choices including cheese and
crackers, a variety of breads and heart-shaped pats of butter or
miniature pastries and muffins.
Another edible centerpiece idea is to fill a vase full of
chocolate hearts. The foil can match the colors of your wedding so
you can tie everything in together. Yet another simple and easy
centerpiece is a cake stand with a display of exotic fruit. The
best thing about these edible centerpieces is your guests will
have something to tide them over if the wait staff is slow in
bringing out the first course.
Why not a drinkable centerpiece?
If you want to make sure everyone has plenty to drink, use
champagne or wine bottles as centerpieces. You can present them
elegantly on raised stands, or you can tie them together at the
neck in groups of three with a pretty ribbon. Each table can be
provided with a heart shaped bottle opener. If it feels a little
bare and you want to add more, you can ‘dress up’ the bottles in
charming tuxedos and wedding dresses.
Ok, so you are set on having flowers
Your florist can make your centerpieces, but this may add up to a
small fortune. Try going to your local nursery and purchasing
potted plants. Flowers such as hydrangea work well because they
look like a mini-bouquet. If you’ve got an artist in your family,
he or she can paint the pots with messages of love.
Shaking up the candle centerpiece
For an original wedding centerpiece decoration idea using candles,
how about using a lamp that is lit not by electricity but by a tea
light? These lamps can be purchased for under $10 a piece at
discount stores and will create a romantic setting by which your
guests can enjoy their dinner. You can also fill a low, wide bowl
with water and have lit candles floating on top. If you are having
a theme wedding, such as Hawaiian, you can purchase
hibiscus-shaped floating candles that will add to your theme.
If you got a theme, stick with it
Your table centerpieces should reflect your wedding theme, if
you’ve got one. If you’ve designed your wedding around
rock-n-roll, try using used records as the base of your
centerpiece design. If you and your fiancé love to travel, a
bottle of olive oil in the shape of different landmarks can be a
memorable wedding centerpiece decoration. If you are going to Rome
or Paris for your honeymoon, you can choose bottles that resemble
the leaning tower of Pisa or the Eiffel tower.
Whatever you decide to use as a centerpiece, guests are usually
inclined to take it with them. To prevent any arguments between
new family members, tape a ‘winner’ envelope underneath one chair
at every table. The person sitting in that chair gets to take the
wedding centerpiece decoration with them.
