Wedding Reception Centerpiece Ideas

The most exciting part of getting married is perhaps the wedding planning. There are hundreds of thoughts for wedding decorations and thousands of ideas that can make your wedding special. A centerpiece at your wedding can be the next center of attraction after you and your spouse. A centerpiece can vary from chic and elegance to fun and casual.

The easiest and cheapest way to prepare an attractive wedding reception centerpiece is by making it yourself. You will be able to portray the exact replica of your wedding mood, through the centerpiece. You can use flowers, fruits, candles, mirrors, glasses, flowing materials of cloth, etc. that will add pizazz to your wedding reception centerpiece. Let's take a look at the various wedding reception centerpiece ideas:

Floral Wedding Centerpiece Ideas
You can create different looks by using flowers to create a floral wedding centerpiece. You can take a clear, big bowl filled with water and float flowers and scented candles over it to make a pretty centerpiece. You can also immerse a large silk floral bloom in the bowl. Float rose shaped, pastel colored candles on the surface. Place the arrangement in the center of a rectangular table. Arrange small flower vases in alternating position on the table.

Flower pots with blooming roses and filler flowers is an elegant way to decorate a centerpiece. You can also choose roses and cut each stem 4 inch from the flower head. Remove the stem leaves and keep them aside. Cut a florists foam equal to the level of the vase and glue it to the inside of the vase. Take a lavender 38' satin ribbon and tie it around the vase in a tight bow. Pour some glue over the foam and push green moss over it. Now glue six rose leaves to the center of the moss. Push three roses over the moss into the foam till they reach the bottom of the vase. Now place this vase on the center of the table. Place votive candles around the vase. Sprinkle faux rose petals around the votive candles and light them. The large floral wedding centerpieces should not be placed on guests tables as they suit better on larger tables like the cake table. If placed on the guests' tables they may hamper the view of the guests.

Fruit Wedding Centerpiece Ideas
This arrangement requires less flowers to make awesome wedding reception centerpieces. All you need to do is arrange fruits in clear vases. Take a rectangular, long, clear vase and fill it with lemons, apples or oranges; whichever fruit pleases you. Stick flowers like roses, carnations, orchids or tulips. You can even cut the citrus fruits and fill the vase. Before filling the vase with neatly cut fruits, place a smaller vase in the bigger vase and add flowers. Fill it up with cut fruits to give a stunning effect. You can mix and match the color combination of the fruits and flowers to make your own unique fruit wedding centerpiece.

Vase-filler Wedding Centerpiece ideas
You can create interesting looks with different vase fillers that help support the flowers and fill up the space in the vase. You can take a medium sized goldfish bowl. Fill ¾ of the bowl with white sand. Place a votive candle in the center of the bowl. Aesthetically spread sea shells around the candle to create a mesmerizing look. For adding effect to the centerpiece, light the candle. Or you can fill a clear vase with silver confetti and place artificial or real roses. You can fill a vase with cherries and place a white candle in the center to create an effective look. Use your imagination to create different fillers for your wedding centerpiece.

You can create any look for your wedding centerpiece you can imagine. It's the most delightful part of the wedding reception decorations. Brainstorm with your spouse and come up with great wedding centerpiece ideas which can make both of you content. It's a joyous moment when you exchange wedding vows with the love of your life and make it even more blissful with a wedding centerpiece that captures the imagination of one and all.
