Creative Wedding Ideas

The centerpieces on the tables at your wedding are really the centerpieces of your entire wedding. The right centerpiece should reflect the colors, theme and overall mood of your wedding. Many brides choose floral centerpieces to accomplish this task, because flowers can match or complement the bridal party’s bouquets and the decorations from the church. Flowers come grow in hundreds of colors – and they can be dyed to the colors that don’t come naturally, making it possible to get flowers to match absolutely any theme.

There are thousands of choices when making floral arrangements for your centerpieces. If you are having an informal wedding or a beach themed wedding you could fill pails or tin buckets with wildflowers or daisies. For an added touch, lay a shovel next to the pail. For a semi-formal wedding, fill glass vases will water and marbles, put a single flower in the vase and then add a touch of fun – put a goldfish in each of the vases! Your guests will smile at the unexpected surprise and probably fight over who gets to take the little fish home! For a unique spin on floral wedding centerpieces, fill glass bowls with rose petals.

Flowers can also be used to make traditional centerpieces. You can do something simple, such as glass vases with colorful flowers. You can also put a vase with a single red rose at each table for a romantic setting. The vase you choose can also make a bold statement – a square vase filled with flowers has a very different look than a traditional vase.

If you are having trouble coming up with ideas, you can meet with a florist and look at hundreds of different arrangements that can be made. Be sure not to commit to buying anything that day. After looking at the florist’s samples, you can shop around for better prices or even decide if you could make the same centerpieces all on your own.

Remember, even if you have allergies, flowers are still an option. These days, you can find silk flowers that not only look as good as the real thing – some of them even look better. You can find silk flowers at your local craft store. The plus side to using silk flowers is that you can re-sell them after the wedding to another bride and make back some of the money you spent!
