Planning your wedding can be an exciting time, but it can also be quite overwhelming.  There are so many details to plan out and think about.  One of the most important details that you will be planning is your wedding table centerpieces. 

Your wedding table centerpieces will set the decorative tone for your wedding reception.  Since they are going to be on each and every table you will want to make sure that they look good both up close as well as from a distance.  Additionally, you will want to ensure that your centerpieces are in line with the decor and/or theme that you have decided for your event.

There are several different ways that you can choose to go with your wedding table centerpieces.  If you are looking for a fresh and natural type of feel to your centerpieces then you might want to focus your centerpiece around fresh flowers.  When using fresh flowers you will have a multitude of options.  For a more casual and springy presentation you might want to think about incorporating daisies or lavender.  Or for a more formal and traditional look you might center on roses or calla lilies. 

But do you have to use flowers for your wedding table centerpieces?  Absolutely not!  The options are really only limited by the limits that you place on your creativity.  One great and inexpensive yet incredibly romantic centerpiece idea is to decorate the center of each of your tables with candles in your weddings color scheme.  The trick to making this really work is to choose candles of varying heights and widths to create a really beautiful display. 

Another fantastic idea for a centerpiece is to bring back the whimsy and nostalgia of childhood by making custom “cootie catchers” for the center of each table.  These are merely folded paper fortune tellers, but you can personalize them to the couple getting married.  They are great conversation starters, and you can make them with papers that enhance the look of your reception table. 

Or perhaps you want a simple and sophisticated look to your wedding tale centerpieces.  If this is the case then a really beautiful idea is to take a simple glass vase and fill it with water.  Then dye the water with food coloring to match your chosen color scheme.  After you have done that place a coordinating floating candle in each vase and light it.  This will give you the warmth and romance of a candle centerpiece with the simplicity and the clean lines that you are looking for to make your event truly the heights of sophistication. 

Wedding table centerpieces do not have to be something that adds stress to your wedding planning process.  In fact, if you let your creativity flow you may have quite a bit of fun creating the perfect centerpieces for your perfect day.
