Cheap Wedding Centerpieces

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.

Making wedding centerpieces can be a fun, yet tedious chore. That is why it is often best to keep wedding centerpieces simple. While simple wedding centerpieces may be ideal, keep in mind however that simple does not necessarily mean cheap.

Like most couples, you probably want everything to be perfect on your wedding day. While there are many things that couples agonize over, most people agree that centerpieces are an important part to any wedding. After all, your guests will be eyeing your centerpieces throughout dinner and afterward.

To get started with ideas for simple centerpieces, think of things that will be easy to do on your own, especially if you have a lot of centerpieces to make. A simple, yet elegant centerpiece you can make consists of using fresh flowers and a vase. Talk to your florist to find out which flowers are available.

You can then add your fresh flowers to any style of vase. If you want to add more to your vase, opt for pebbles or stones to go on the bottom of your vase. Or, choose to put several different flowers in your vase to spruce it up a bit. Whatever you choose, this is a simple idea that can be done quickly for beautiful fresh flower centerpieces.

Another idea for simple wedding centerpieces involves using tea lights or votive candles. Tea lights are less expensive than votives and can be purchased in bulk, but their burn time is not quite as long. Using these candles can jazz up any wedding centerpiece however. Tea lights can be placed inside wine glasses and votive candles can be placed in small vases. For added appeal, place flower petals around the glass. You can designate a few people to light the candles as guests arrive at the reception.

If you like the idea of using candles in your wedding centerpieces, opt to use floating candles for your tables. Floating candles are a bit more unique, yet have the same beautiful appeal. Purchase glass bowls and fill them with water. Then add the floating candles and sprinkle the water with rose petals if you wish. Once again, designate a few people to light the candles beforehand.

If you want to steer away from traditional flowers and candles, you can choose to use fruit or chocolates in your centerpieces. Simply purchase elegant bowls or serving platters to be placed on the tables and fill them with assorted fruits or chocolates. Stick to fruits that you can work with the night before, such as dipping strawberries in chocolate sauce.

Lastly, you can use colored stones in your simple wedding centerpieces. The stones will bring in the colors and elegance of your wedding and will sparkle under the light. Use the stones to fill champagne or margarita glasses, or use them in stylish vases or glass bowls.
