Bridal Centerpiece Ideas

No matter what your time or financial budget is, you can create elegant eye-catching bridal centerpieces. Enhance wedding reception tables with centerpieces that reflect the overall dcor theme or color scheme. Choose design elements that accent the celebration space. Make the centerpieces yourself to completely customize your table decor while saving money.

Photo-enhanced Centerpieces

Decorate tables with images of the new couple as a sweet and sentimental touch. Incorporate personal mementos into the centerpiece to infuse tables with a personal flair. Choose elegant thick vases of clear glass with slots for photos. Or pick square handblown glass vases with inset bases. Have the vases etched with the couple's names and wedding details. Slide the couple's engagement photos or other favorite images into the vases. Accent the bottom of the vases with glass gems in the wedding colors. Fill the vases with water and flowers. Use silk flowers as an alternative to fresh blooms.

Beach-inspired Table Decor

No beach-themed wedding reception is complete without island-inspired table centerpieces. Create simple yet stunning dcor pieces with an inexpensive mix of craft and natural items. Fill shallow round bowls of clear glass with sand. Place white, turquoise, pink, yellow, or orange tealights in small glass holders and nestle them into the sand. Sprinkle tiny seashells over the sand. You can also incorporate starfish and sand dollars into the arrangement. Accent each side of the candle display with tall glass vases filled with a few real or faux orchid or bird-of-paradise stems for an exotic tropical look.

Stack of Presents

Infuse guest tables with an air of mystery by stacking elegantly boxed guest favors as unexpected centerpieces. Using the favors as table dcor is both creative and budget friendly. Place small favors, such as chocolates, hard candies, candles, themed soaps, and handmade cookies in boxes of various sizes and shapes. For an eye-catching look, combine square, rectangular, and circular boxes; you can even use Chinese carryout boxes. Wrap boxes with coordinating paper. For instance, wrap pink boxes with brown and white polka-dotted ribbon and brown boxes with pink and white striped ribbons. Attach a personalized gift tag to each box. Place one multitiered cake stand in the center of each table and stack it with the favor boxes. Instruct each guest to take a box on their way out.
