Wedding Centerpieces to Astound Your Guests

For those that want to be safe, flowers are always the route to go when choosing your wedding centerpiece. But for those that want to be a bit more creative, there are more than a few alternatives that are available to them.

Candle wedding centerpieces add a touch of romance to the proceedings. There are many variations of candle wedding centerpieces. Ready made floating candle kits, of various quality and costs, can be purchased across the Internet and from wedding catalogues  Typically a floating candle centerpiece is so named because the candle “floats” on a base of glass stones and/or water creating a real “wow” factor.

Many wedding centerpiece can be created from uncommon and unique objects as diverse as seashells, candles and even stones. For instance, a seashell centerpiece would work great or a beach theme. On the other hand, if your wedding is taking place in a Japanese garden, for example, a wedding centerpiece made of stones could be perfect. Let the theme of your wedding determine your choice of the type of wedding centerpiece to use.

A tropical fruit wedding table centerpiece is another unique idea. As your primary fruits, you can choose coconuts, pineapples, or whatever strikes your fancy. The right fruits can impart the proceedings with a nice exotic feel.  Another advantage of fruit is that it’s relatively inexpensive when compared with some of your other choices.

If you have a sweet tooth, a candy centerpiece certainly makes an unusual impact. Think about having candy bouquets as centerpieces. In addition, to being tasteful, a candy centerpiece is self liquidating. You won’t have to worry about what to do with the wedding centerpiece once the celebrations are over.

Another really unusual idea for a wedding centerpiece is using the live fish in a bowl theme. Live fish swimming in a bowl will certainly provide a great visual impact. You would have one or more colorful fish species swimming in the bowl. At the bottom of each bowl would be glass marbles or beads. This will certainly keep the children occupied at the kids table.  It’s worth noting, however, that some people object at the idea of using live fish for an event such as this. There’s also the question of what to do with the fish once the wedding ceremony is over.

Heart shaped candle-holder wedding centerpieces add a touch of romance. You can place a couple on each table. When the lights are dimmed, they make a spectacular display.  You can also let the guests keep these as a keepsake, once the festivities are over. And, for the do-it-yourselfers, these also are a very simple craft project that you can make at home by yourself. You can also add an aromatic element by using scented candles.

If you’re without fear and have at least a bit of decorative taste, you may be adventurous enough to try your hand at creating your own wedding centerpieces. Not only is it a fantastic means of saving money, but it also allows you participate in the planning of your wedding in a more proactive manner. Even if you don’t know where to begin, you can find plenty of detailed wedding centerpiece plans on the internet that’ll let you create some very striking and beautiful arrangements. The downside, of course, is that it can be a hassle trying to put all the pieces together by yourself.
