Wedding Centrepieces - The Latest Trends

Article provided by Sally Cherri of Bomboniera Events

There are many factors that go into planning a successful wedding, which could in fact be the most important social event of your life. Every detail helps add up to the grand picture of a truly memorable day, and wedding centrepieces are one of these details that can really help set up a unique atmosphere. These will be admired by guests during the reception, generally. You want to make sure that they are the ideal size, so that they will not overwhelm the table, but will manage to be a topic of interest and capture the imagination of your guests at the same time.

To this end, there are a number of prevailing trends that have gone into the current state of wedding centrepieces. Floral pieces are the most traditional, but they can receive a new shot of modernity if you arrange them in unique or unexpected combinations. One of the most popular types of floral centrepiece is one that utilizes tropical flowers, or orchids. These are classic yet have a bit of a twist or flair that will help saturate your wedding with colour. Displaying flower bulbs instead of fresh cut flowers can have a unique effect, and is another example of how to make your piece stand out.

Fruits and vegetables are another hot trend in wedding centrepieces. If the ultimate effect that you are trying to achieve is something that is eye-catching and colourful, these could do the trick much in the same way that flowers are able to do. Baskets of fruit give a festive feel and one of abundance, and are also traditionally thought to be good luck. Some of the little twists that wedding planners and decorators have been giving these arrangements include using carrots instead of flower stems, or filling a clear vase up with various coloured fruits. The possibilities are virtually endless variations on a theme.

Within the realm of fruits, flowers, and other accessories to liven up these various wedding centrepieces, you can also think about how to then place them on the table. They need not always go directly in the centre, and could be placed on their own mat or directly on the table. Placing flowers on mirrors can add extra dimension and depth to the arrangement, as this helps amplify the image. It’s a good idea to experiment with a variety of different arrangements before making this important decorating decision.
