Choosing Centerpieces That Will Bring Your Wedding to Life

Jeff Fleming

After the emotional wedding ceremony is complete, most people look forward to the wedding reception. This is the time when your guests can let loose and really enjoy the wedding celebration. After you have selected the tables, chairs, and sitting arrangements, you need the final touch to be special and to breathe life to your wedding atmosphere.

The secret ingredient is a simple as selecting the right centerpieces. Centerpieces are the decorative elements that are placed towards the center of the table. They can take the form of flowers, art, or any other unique decorative element. Wedding hire provides a wide selection of centerpieces that you can select from or use as a starting point to customize the specific style you desire.

Why centerpieces are important

A large part of the wedding reception involves your guests sitting at their table enjoying their meal, socializing, and probably admiring the decorations inside the room. An attractive centerpiece not only provides an eye-catching object to view, it can also uplift the mood of your guests to either spark a conversation or to get up and dance to the music.

Your centerpieces can also reflect your personal tastes and that of your partner/family, giving a touch of homeliness and comfort. In other words, centerpieces can be the perfect icebreaker for your wedding reception.

So how do you select the right one?

Work within your budget

The most important tip is to work within your established budget. Avoid paying too much attention to one part of the wedding ceremony at the expense of others. For example, fancy centerpieces placed on poorly decorated tables will still look off. Make sure you maintain a balanced look for your centerpieces, tables, and chairs. Wedding hire services can assist you in achieving a balanced look for your wedding reception.

Size is important

Another important factor to keep in mind is the comfort of your guests. Avoid centerpieces that take up too much space on the table or obstruct the view of those seated around it. Match the size of the centerpiece such that it occupies the middle part of the table in a minimally obtrusive manner.

Add a familiar touch

Next, make sure your centerpieces reflect you and your partner's tastes and preferences. Your guests should be able to immediately relate to the centerpiece design and to "feel at home". For example, cultural centerpieces are great for couples that share a common ethnic background.

Consider the room where the reception will be held

Centerpieces that add utility to the room of the reception are also a great idea. Dimly lit rooms should feature centerpieces that have lighting and make it easier for those sharing a table to see each other.
