Cheap Wedding Centerpieces

Since we are born, a majority of women are raised in an environment full of the color pink. Sometime after that we begin to dream about our wedding and it is no surprise that for many brides, the color pink plays a big part in that picture. For brides using pink in their color scheme, there are extensive choices when it comes to pink wedding centerpieces – but first, you need to narrow it down and choose what shade of pink you see on your tabletops.

When going for a softer look, your options can range anywhere from cherry blossom flower arrangements to serving trays of decadent desserts, like little pink petit fours and cupcakes. Cotton candy could make for a unique pink centerpiece – edible, fluffy, and totally fun! If you do plan on utilizing food as your centerpieces, I highly recommend using multi-level trays and apothecary jars filled up with pink treats. Place them onto mirrors and surround them with flowers and votives – (which look very nice in pink frosted candle holders!)

But maybe this isn’t the pink vision you had in mind; maybe you want a little more “edge” to your wedding. In this case, go with a more saturated shade of pink. Arrange hot pink roses onto shiny black candelabras, or submerge hot pink orchids under water in a tall vase. It doesn’t get any more modern than that! Another detail to consider is the shape of the tables folks will be sitting at. For circular tables, you will have a more focused arrangement in the center of the table whereas for longer tables you could have more of a linear look – with the centerpieces lined up down the center of the tabletops (like pink gerbera daisies in individual pink vases!).

Pink pairs nicely with almost any other color; chocolate brown and baby pink is a classic look, as is hot pink when against a high contrast black or silver. Pink centerpieces for weddings can be girly, soft, and preppy or they can be vivid, wild, and modern – it’s all in the shade. Some women choose not to limit themselves when it comes to shade in their centerpieces. If the flower is pink, they want it. Peonies, hydrangeas, roses, tulips, and more! This can end up looking fabulous when it comes to the floral details but as far as the rest of the table is concerned, it’s better to have more focus.

If you’re wanting an elegant centerpiece and something that everyone will remember why not have tall wedding centerpieces to adorn the table with? There is nothing worse than trying to take pictures of the couple’s first dance and getting a huge bouquet of flowers in your face that you can’t see through. With a tall wedding centerpiece, your tables can look classy and you can take all the pictures you want without ever having to worry. Here are some ideas for some nice looking tall centerpieces that are sure to add class to your tables.

If you are dead set on having roses at your wedding then you can make them taller by either using long stem roses or you could put them in tall cylindrical vase. These are usually anywhere from a foot to three feet tall. Some of them are really thin so you have to be careful of making them too top heavy, or you can get one that is a little wider and fill it with marbles or some other nice colored stones or shells.

Some tall wedding centerpieces are more tailored to a specific kind of wedding, for instance, if you were having a Halloween wedding you would most likely not want to have flowers and elegant things because that would not match the theme. But if you are wanting something more fantastic and classy than perhaps branches of cherry blossoms are what you are interested in. Cherry blossoms, whether in pink or white, are nice and tall on their own and have a nice fresh, subtle fragrance that is appropriate no matter the time. Cherry blossoms are great whether you are having a Japanese theme or a fun rockabilly themed wedding.

Calla lilies are one of the most elegant flowers that you can have at a wedding. White calla lilies will match any kind of a theme that you are planning on and the upside is that they are not that expensive. Even if you are putting them in a smaller vase. Or for a more fancy look you can put them in a nice tall vase filled with colored water or opalescent marbles or stones to accent the flowers.

There are many beautiful things that you can put in a tall vase and put on a table as a centerpiece, but there are some flowers that are just perfect for the event. No matter what you choose for your tall wedding centerpieces, remember that it’s your wedding and whatever design you choose, you have to be happy with it.
