There are countless things to plan for during the run up to any wedding but it’s worth considering your wedding centerpieces as part of the overall scheme or theme of the wedding.

These centerpieces needn’t be too costly or extravagant. However, they should be eye-catching and complement the general color and theme of the wedding.

Some wedding centerpiece ideas are traditional and classical, but they could also be used to reflect the individual interests or personalities of the couple.

Here are 5 wedding centerpiece ideas worth considering:

1. Flowers and plants

Flowers don’t have to cost a lot of money. They’ll always be colorful and attractive, providing they match your color scheme.

Different flowers can suggest different moods. To stick with tradition, try centerpieces based on roses or carnations.

Something a little more exotic, such as Bird of Paradise or palms are dramatic and create an immediate impact.

Pot plants are also an option which can add interest and which can be given as gifts after the wedding is over.

2. Fruit and Vegetables.

Friends of ours recently had edible centerpieces at their wedding which made a fantastic talking point! They looked great and made a tasty snack throughout the day. Yum.
