Rose Wedding Centerpieces
The elegance of a rose makes it a great flower choice for wedding centerpieces. Since they are very versatile flowers, roses can be used for all types of weddings ranging from small venues in the countryside to large weddings at a banquet hall. There are many different types of arrangements that can be made for rose wedding centerpieces. Since roses come in a variety of colors and sizes, they can be made combined in different ways to produce various effects. Here are some ideas for rose wedding centerpieces.
The Monolithic Rose Centerpiece
For extravagant weddings at a traditional hall, large rose wedding centerpieces definitely make a statement. Choose a tall glass or ceramic vase that is at least two feet in height. White roses balanced with some greenery give the table a classic and bridal look. Red roses are bold and romantic; for wedding themes with warm hues, red rose centerpieces would be a great addition. It is important that the blooms are large and fresh or they will not stand out in a huge vase.
The Modern Rose Centerpiece
Although roses have always been the flower choice for traditional arrangements, they could just as easily be used with a modern décor. Choose vases with that are cubical or cylindrical in shape made from glass. Arrange the stems with little or no foliage, to give the centerpiece a clean simple look. White rose centerpieces on black tablecloth can look very chic for a modern wedding.
The Rustic Centerpiece
For the couples that are planning to get married outdoors on a farm or in a vineyard, roses would also make great centerpieces. Rich pastel tones, such as yellows, peaches, and pink rose centerpieces complement the beauty of the outdoor scenery. They can be arranged haphazardly in a wooden basket or a mason jar to give a desired natural look atop wooden picnic tables.
The One-Stem Centerpiece
Since the cost of wedding centerpieces can be very high, there are ways that couples can save. One way to save on centerpieces is to reduce the number of blooms used. The rose is one of the few flowers that can still look quite elegant standing by itself. For a simple and budget-friendly centerpiece, choose one large bloom with a little big of foliage and place in a narrow vase. Several vases can be spaced along a rectangular table to create symmetry and balance.
Regardless of the type of centerpiece you choose, always use the freshest blooms from the florist. If cared for properly, rose wedding centerpieces could last up to a week.
