On 09.29.10, In Wedding, By Stevie Wonder

Centerpieces are the glue that ties the wedding reception decor together. They truly add that special detail, and enhance the atmosphere of the wedding reception. For that amazing couple, who really like to make a statement, why not think about unique wedding centerpieces for the wedding reception? There are so many unbelievable ideas out there to choose from, no matter what your taste, budget, or motivation.

For an early afternoon wedding, consider using antique pieces or family collectibles like teapots. Filling them with small flower bouquets will enhance the look of your reception.

For a less formal reception you could try a money tree. All you have to do is find a great tree branch, place it in a beautiful flowerpot, and cover the bottom of the branch with moss. Tie fake money which has been accordion folded to the tree branch, and place index cards with pens on each table. The idea is for guests to write words of advice to the newly wed couple and then tie the index card to the tree, in addition to replacing the fake money with really dollar bills. This would make one of the tall wedding centerpieces that seem to have become all the fashion lately.

In the same vein, a small wishing well placed on each table can be filled with words of advice and cash for the bride and groom from their invited guests. Another unique idea is to go to your local craft store for birdcages, either metal or wooden. Paint them a color to match your wedding colors and then fill them with beautiful ivy and small romantic flowers.

For the romantic, how about having love poems from famous poets written in calligraphy then framed in beautiful frames. Place one poem in the center of each table and then surround it with red roses and petals along with votive candles.

Another twist on traditional wedding decor is to have small wedding cakes decorated and placed on each table as a centerpiece. Rather than having a large wedding cake, guests can share the centerpiece.

On the other hand, small unique ice sculptures on each table really add a special touch to your wedding reception.

The centerpieces at your wedding should be both special and memorable. They set the tone of your reception. So, you want to have something which will have your guests talking for many years to come. Unique wedding centerpieces are just the thing to get your guests talking and to really add that distinct flair to your fabulous wedding reception.

Unusual Wedding Centerpieces Made With Food

On 03.17.10, In Uncategorized, Wedding, By Stevie Wonder

If you are after some unique wedding centerpieces ideas, a display of edible items can really cause a stir. Traditional flower arrangements are being replaced with more and more different options including candles, balloons and food. Food centerpieces look quite fun and guests will remember the stylish displays for years to come.

Some centerpieces made with food are meant to be eaten and others are not. Sometimes the colors offered by food items is what makes them tie in with your theme and at other times the display is made with the intention of it doubling up as a snack, the cake or a wedding favour.

Whenever you opt for a centerpiece that strays from the usual ideas it is best to choose materials that tie in somehow with your wedding theme. A tropical wedding centerpiece could make use of tropical fruit, a beach wedding could use shell or starfish shaped chocolates and a red themed wedding could use chocolate dipped strawberries as a red wedding centerpiece.

The key to making food centerpieces work is their presentation. You do not want the table to look like your kitchen counter with its fruit bowl. You want to create something stunning and elegant. White, raised platters work well piled high with fruits such as green apples. Small white flower heads could then be interspersed between the apples to set off their color. Sliced fruits could be arranged in large glass vases and covered in water. These could be combined with long stemmed, large headed flowers if desired.

For more traditional weddings with bridesmaids all pretty in pink, dainty little cupcakes with pink frosting could be displayed on a tiered cake stand to make an adorable centerpiece. Stand the cakes on lace doilies for a very feminine touch. If you are using cupcakes or similar for your centerpiece, you may consider doing away with a wedding cake which should save some off your budget.

Not all food centerpieces are designed to be eaten. Some fruits and vegetables offer the ideal colors or ideas to tie in with your wedding theme but are not really edible. Pumpkins are a good example for a fall wedding and lemon and lime slices for a spring wedding. Other fruits can be used for their shape rather than their color and could be painted to tie in with your wedding color. If you are marrying in winter, you could paint some pears in silver or gold and arrange them with delicate white flowers and/or ivory candles.

The great thing about wedding centerpieces made with food is that they are very affordable and you can make them yourself. They are also refreshingly different and are sure to be a conversation starter for your guests.

Tropical Wedding Centerpiece Ideas

On 02.16.10, In Wedding, By Stevie Wonder

A unique tropical wedding centerpiece can become one of the most beautiful focal points of any wedding, however, while the theme is lush and sophisticated, it is important to find the perfect balance of tropical décor and elegance to create the perfect ambiance for guests and the bridal party to enjoy.

When opting for centerpieces focused on a tropical or beach theme, always remember that while the centerpiece should be noticeable and memorable, it should not be overwhelming. Every centerpiece should form a representation of the bride and groom’s style and charm. Flower choices for centerpieces should be an indicator of this. Tall flowers including ginger, heliconias, and orchids are great options in tall tropical flowers that are elegant enough to be noticed but will not rival other decorations. Although flowers can be the perfect addition to centerpieces, depending on the size of the group of guests, floral centerpieces can be very expensive.

For those opting for a more practical type of wedding centerpiece, carved fruit can add a whimsical element to any cheap wedding centerpiece while concurrently maintaining a tropical theme. Fruits like that of pineapples, melons, lemons and limes can be utilized and even carved to mimic flowers. A combination of flowers and fruit can be elegant yet cost effective. To recreate this look a large vase filled with lemons or limes will add a tropical feel with vibrant colors and can be topped with tropical leaves or palm branches which add affordability when opting to incorporate flowers.

Other ways to incorporate tropical features into centerpieces are in utilizing sand and candles. This is particularly chic for beach themed tropical weddings. Tall vases filled with white sand will showcase the candle in the most romantic and elegant setting. For added charm, opt for sea shells, or instead of choosing one tall vase choose an array of shapes and sizes of vases filled with water and floating tropical flowers with large candles in the center of each collage of vases.

Regardless of size or budget, there are so many tropical wedding centerpieces ideas that can be achieved with a little effort and creativity for the ultimate in chic and stylish wedding décor.
