Centerpieces for Weddings

What is a Wedding Centerpiece?

I was thinking the other day what a Wedding Centerpiece really is. It came to me that it can be many things. In the short time we’ve been around (centerpiecesforweddings.info), we’ve already talked about a few things that could be the centerpiece of your special day, but for this post, I thought I would list out a few of the things that you could focus on and make into the centerpiece for for your wedding. So here it goes:

• The Theme. Jody wrote a post about this one. The theme of your wedding itself can become the centerpiece.
• The Location or Venue. These can really wow your guests and make the day particularly memorable. Many people even take the opportunity to go overseas to exotic locations.
• The Flowers – Always a winner, but in my book they’re not usually something that people talk about in the years to follow. That’s not to say that the flowers could be talked about though!
• An ice carving – Expensive to keep frozen as time goes on
• The Music or band – If you find something a little different you can definitely make it memorable. Saying that though, you always need those 80′s classics that have become wedding theme songs.
• The Bride and Groom! – Of course.
• The Decorations.
• The Cake – An oldie but a goody. A great cake can always wow ‘em.
• The Ceremony – Pick something that really speaks about you, your family and your friends.
• The Food – if you’re into food.
• The Cars – if you’re into cars.
• The Guests – This is a tough one, but we did this by putting out photo frames with individual or couple photos of everyone. In our book, the centerpiece to our wedding.

The list goes on and on. Find something that you really want to highlight and set to work creating something unique. I guess what I’m really trying to get at here is that if you think about it, you could make any part (or the whole part!) of your wedding a centerpiece. Something that people will remember along with the day itself. It can be something very simple. For example, we provided small picture frames with a black and white photo of all our guests on the tables. We saw someone do that at a wedding years ago. Funnily enough, this has actually turned into a centerpiece because people always mention it when we visit. Those little frames are sitting in houses all over the place now. A little creativity can go a long way and don’t be afraid to steal ideas.

Happy centerpiece creating!
