Wedding Reception Centerpiece Decoration
The centerpiece decorations at the wedding reception are likely
to be one thing the guests do not forget. Guests usually spend
most of their time talking across their tables with other guests
they are seated near, making it impossible for them to miss the
centerpiece. Therefore, wedding centerpiece decorations should be
thoughtful and coordinate with the reception theme.
There are several choices to make when choosing a centerpiece. The
bride and groom should follow a few rules however. First, the
centerpiece should never be very tall. A centerpiece that does not
allow a guest to view the guest directly across from them is not
useful; it is annoying. Secondly, the best centerpieces are not
only beautiful but also conversation pieces to allow the guests
easy opening dialogue.
The more interesting the pieces are, the more your guests will
enjoy and remember them. One thing the bride and groom can
consider is a centerpiece that will entertain the guests.
Considering guests do spend a quality amount of time at the table,
it is fun to allow them to participate in the reception as well.
This is especially useful if there is a delay between the start of
the reception and the time when the bride and groom arrive or food
is served. It keeps the guests from getting restless. Disposable
cameras are one of the most popular items to include in a
centerpiece. They allow guests to take pictures of each other and
usually become some of the more treasured photos by the bride and
groom.
Another option to keep guests amused is a photo album for the
guests to look through. They can be decorated beautifully to match
the wedding decor and can include both pictures of the bride and
groom and past pictures of family and friends that are attending
the wedding. It is also fun to include pictures of the bride and
groom as children.
A third option is the advice box. The bride and groom can decorate
a plain box with tulle and ribbon and cut a slot in the top. Then
they can provide pretty scraps of paper and pens for guests to
write words of encouragement and advice to the new couple. The
guests can get creative and the bride and groom will have fun
reading the notes. Be sure to include instructions to the guests
when using this idea.
For more traditional centerpieces things such as potted flowers
can be dressed up with tulle and ribbon to add a romantic flair.
Shallow glass bowls can be used in many ways. The bride and groom
can add water and floating candles or mounds of candy in them for
a nice look. Sand can also be added with seashells for a beach
theme wedding. Deeper glass bowls can be used for a fun
centerpiece by adding live goldfish.
Fruit is becoming a popular wedding reception centerpiece
decoration. Fruits with vibrant colors such as lemons and limes
are most often used in tall glass vases. By arranging them in the
vase an art piece is created. For Asian theme weddings, brides can
choose bonsai trees or bamboo arrangements as centerpieces.
For those on a tight budget, the best centerpiece is one using
white paper lunch sacks and balloons. To get a beautiful wedding
reception centerpiece decoration, the white lunch bags should be
filled with a small amount of sand. The balloons should be filled
with helium and tied with pretty ribbon. Finally, the ribbon
should be attached to the bags, which will anchor the balloons to
the table. This simple and inexpensive idea looks wonderful at
receptions.
No matter what the budget, there are creative wedding reception
centerpiece decorations suitable for every wedding.
