Ideas for Wedding Centerpieces
By Barbara Kelly

Creating a beautiful reception area is an important part of the wedding planning. However, this can be quite overwhelming in addition to the other wedding plans. But, with some simple forethought, the reception area can look appropriate with the simple addition of wedding centerpieces for the tables.

The easiest way to achieve nice wedding centerpieces is to simply have the wedding florist make centerpieces which use the same flowers as the wedding flowers. This will complete the look of the wedding décor and using the florist will ensure that the work will be done without adding to the stress of the wedding couple. This is a great idea for wedding centerpieces if cost is not a factor.

However, flowers do tend to be costly for a wedding. The bride can ask the florist for a less expensive style while still using the same floral theme. This may provide a good option and most florists are understanding of the need to stick to the wedding budget. If the floral decorations just become too costly for the wedding centerpieces there are other options.

Cost Effective Options for Wedding Centerpieces

If the wedding budget is limited looking for other ideas for wedding centerpieces may seem tremendous. It is good to just take a day and shop for some unique ideas. Craft stores can be inspiring for the imagination. A simple and very inexpensive idea is to use colorful confetti. The confetti can be cut into appropriate shapes such as bells or doves or it can just be cut into geometrical shapes. Sprinkling the confetti on a white table cloth will make a nice centerpiece.

Another cost effective option would be to use china teapots and teacups that the wedding couple or their family members own. These teapots and teacups do not need to match. Their beauty is in the individual designs. This is a nice way to bring a little bit of home into the reception. If the family doesn't own much china the bride may consider purchasing some china for both the wedding centerpieces and then as the gifts for her attendants. This will help to cut cost by combining them.

One possible idea for wedding centerpieces would be to use some clear glass jars or inexpensive vases. Filling these with water which is colored with food coloring and then adding a single long stem silk or fresh flower would be simple and economical. Using a color which complements the wedding colors would complete this look. This may be the simple solution to the question of suitable wedding centerpieces.
