Creative Wedding Ideas

Using candles as centerpieces for the tables at your wedding reception sets a nice romantic tone and gives the room a nice soft glow. There are lots of choices for your candle centerpieces, and a lot of things to take into consideration when choosing candles for your wedding reception.

First, if you are having an outdoor wedding, candles are not a good option for you. You don’t want your wedding to turn into a disaster because a strong breeze knocks a candle over and starts a table on fire. Not only would it be expensive to pay for damages, it would be a horrible memory of your special day!

Second, do not purchase scented candles for the centerpieces of your tables. The smell of dinner mixed with the smell of your favorite ocean breeze candle is not a good thing. Each scent may separately be a wonderful aroma but combined, the results are usually not very good. Stick with unscented candles!

Now that all of that is out of the way, it’s time to think about what kind of candle centerpieces you want for your wedding. Some simple and elegant centerpieces can be made from arranging candles of different heights on a round mirror. It’s very basic and simple but it makes a beautiful centerpiece. You could also use glass bowls filled with colored water – to match your wedding colors – and put floating candles in the water.

This is another very simple but pretty centerpiece idea. For a beach wedding, you could fill glass bowls with sand and put tea lights in the sand. You can also find a votive candleholder that you like and arrange them in a pattern on your tabletops. There are candleholders to suit any theme, taste or need. With a little bit of searching, you can find just the right ones for your centerpieces.

Using candles is an excellent choice for your wedding reception. Even if you really want flowers on your tables, candles can be incorporated For example, vases of flowers can be surrounded by tea lights. Use your imagination. Candles come in every color, shape and style that you can imagine. You really can create any centerpiece you can imagine!
