Creative wedding centerpieces can be a high-impact detail for any reception table. To find the perfect wedding table decorations, start by searching reception centerpiece photos (see below!) to see the styles that other couples chose. One way to create continuity between your ceremony and reception is to pick wedding centerpieces that are made of the same flowers as your bridal bouquet. Another thing to consider when you choose your reception centerpieces is to learn about the blooms' significance (as well as its seasonality), so brush up on wedding flower meanings and find out when certain wedding flowers are in season. Once you and your florist have picked the perfect wedding centerpieces, figure out the best way to display each arrangement. The right reception lighting can go a long way in making the most out of your wedding centerpieces, and clusters of small wedding centerpieces grouped on each table can be just as dramatic as one large arrangement. If you don't want your reception table decorations to go to waste, speak to your florist beforehand about letting guests take the wedding centerpieces home with them when the party winds down.
Unique wedding table decorations can tie the reception space together, so search wedding centerpiece photos for inspiration. When you find a wedding reception centerpiece that fits your style, print out the picture and ask whether your florist can re-create the look.
High wedding centerpieces can certainly make a statement on your reception tables, but make sure they're arranged in a way that won't prohibit guests from talking across the table. Branch centerpieces set in tall vases are one dramatic option that won't leave guests craning their necks to see over the arrangement.
Short wedding centerpieces guarantee the conversation across the table won't be hampered, but you want to make sure your low reception centerpieces aren't overlooked. Consider highlighting each centerpiece with pinspot lighting or encircling each arrangement with votive candles.
