Reception Centerpiece Ideas
Deciding on the “right” centerpiece for you reception can be easy for some brides and difficult for others. Some brides have talented family members and friends who will create a magnificent table arrangement with little effort and other brides will tell their florist what they want and, presto, it’s all done for them. However, most brides don’t have unlimited funds or family and friends that can relieve the bride of this task, so these tips and ideas are for them. Some catering halls provide perfectly good centerpieces in their wedding package. Other venues might provide a candle or other table arrangement that you can build upon. Talk to your caterer and determine if they have centerpieces that you can use. If they do, great! If not, read on.
The first order of business is to decide your budget. Then get ideas browsing through bridal magazines, books from the library, and the Internet. Look at pictures from local florist’s books and talk to some of your recently married friends.
Now that you have some ideas, let’s talk about specifics. Are you looking to make a big splash, or do you want to keep it simple? Remember, I mentioned that table arrangements are conversation enhancers so whatever you choose, let’s keep them low to the table or high up on a pedestal, enabling your guests to view each other while they are conversing. Next let’s start narrowing your ideas down. Do you think you might like to have fresh, dried or silk flowers?
How about purchasing a three ring binder, cover it with fabric that coordinates with your wedding pallet and place some pens on the table and have your guests write in your book. Not only will you have a wonderful centerpiece but you also will have memories that your guests provide.
