The first option when considering red as your centerpiece color is to go with a floral centerpiece. One obvious choice is of course the red rose. It is symbolic and perfect for a wedding day. A beautiful red centerpiece that is both elegant and inexpensive would be to get a lovely tall vase and put three red roses in it. There are special touches one could add such as a simple ribbon or a few red rose petals surrounding the vase. Another choice for those considering using red flowers is the tulip. The tulip is very popular because it can give a fun, modern twist. Tulips are very popular in weddings because they are so readily available and they do not have any thorns so you do not have to worry about pricking your finger when handling them.

Candles are an excellent choice because there are so many ways one can use them. For a simple look one can use a number of plain red pillar candles. One look that is becoming increasingly popular is with the use of floating candles. These candles are specially made to float in water. The overall look is very intimate and beautiful. To add an extra touch to this you could add some small red stones to the bowl of water to really bring out the red candles and add that extra special touch.

For easy centerpieces one could purchase small red satin pillows and place them as centerpieces. By simply adding a small picture of the couple or a card with their names on it you really personalize this look. Another great option for those who are short on time include small red decorative boxes with some type of flowers or flower petals. This is a great choice because you can use real or silk flowers and you can incorporate other colors if you wish.

As you can see there are so many unique choices for red wedding centerpieces, all of which can be made to look absolutely beautiful for you and your new spouse’s big day.

Tall 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.

Tall Wedding CenterpiecesSome 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.
