Wedding Centerpiece Idea

If you are reading this, you most likely need a wedding centerpiece idea. Selecting the right centerpiece can really add some class to the overall feel of your reception.

Choosing a wedding centerpiece can be a bit challenging sometimes, but with a little thought and creativity (and our help hopefully!) you can come up with an exquisite centerpiece for your wedding reception.

As with other details of your wedding, there is no standard way to design your wedding centerpiece. Don't be afraid to get creative and do something a little differently to show your personality.

Here are some ideas to get your mind moving:

Flower Centerpieces

Traditional wedding centerpieces are usually flowers or candles; however, they do not have to be boring! Visit Wedding Floral Centerpieces for some great hints and ideas.

Hurricane Centerpieces

This is one of our favorite items for a wedding centerpiece idea because there is so much you can do with hurricane lamps. Visit Hurricane Wedding Centerpiece to find ideas for your wedding.

Seasonal Centerpieces

• In the fall, pumpkins make a great wedding centerpiece. You can carve one per table, or just place an arrangement of small pumpkins and gourds in the center of each table.

Unique Centerpiece Ideas

• One couple we worked with wanted their guests to play board games at the reception, so each table had a different board game that everyone played after dinner. It went over very well, and the guests had a blast.


• Replicas of monuments or buildings make an interesting wedding centerpiece. Ideas include the Eiffel Tower and Empire State Building.


• Wedding cake centerpieces are a unique alternative. Have a 12 inch decorative wedding cake atop a silver pedestal in the center of each table at the reception. When it is time to cut the cake, have your guests join you by cutting their own cake.
