When you are getting married and planning for your wedding, you want everything to be perfect. Every detail must reflect your own personal style and that of the groom-to-be. Some brides love to shop and find their wedding centerpieces in stores, while crafty brides would rather make them themselves. Some brides get their moms and bridesmaids together for a tea and crafting party to create their own little wedding centerpieces. It is a great idea, because the more people you have, the more centerpieces you can get done faster. The following are some great unique wedding centerpiece ideas that you may want to use for your own wedding reception.
For my sister’s wedding many years ago, I volunteered to make her table centerpieces. I knew that she would be busy and caught up in the excitement of her wedding, so I decided to make my wedding gift for her. For her centerpieces, I found small fish bowls, pearl ribbon, colored flat glass pebbles, and lovely scented candles. She was having an intimate wedding with less than 100 guests, and it was relatively easy and inexpensive to create wedding centerpieces for every table. I simply used my glue gun to glue the ribbon around the neck of each bowl, filled the bottom with the glass pebbles, and inserted a candle in each. They were a hit, and everyone was talking about how pretty they were, including my sister.
Another popular idea is to use small wreaths made of wood or plastic. You can either spray paint pine cones, and brush, and hot glue them to the wreaths, or even use artificial flowers and ribbon to include in the wreath. They are a simple touch and look beautiful on a table as a centerpiece at the reception. And you can easily match the ribbon and colors of the flowers to the bride’s reception colors.
You could also decorate baskets, and fill them with flowers. Consider using cake platforms. You can use little glass crystals to line the plate, add tea lights, and little sea shells. This idea is wonderful for a beach wedding. The possibilities are endless for unique wedding centerpiece ideas. So use your imagination, and have fun with your project.
