Wedding Centerpiece Ideas
That Are Unique To You

Wedding centerpiece ideas do not have to be the same old thing that you see at most weddings, your wedding is unique and therefore you would want your wedding decorations to be as unique as you are.

You probably already have a theme for your wedding even if it is just the colors or the style of your wedding, use these original ideas for your wedding centerpieces as well.

Start with the colors and write a list of everything that you can think about that is that color, however random it is and don't just stick with wedding stuff like flowers and candles, they will of course be on that list but think of everything that you can think about.

For example if your wedding colors were orange and chocolate brown your color list may be; oranges, carrots, pumpkins, roses, gerberas, orange glass, candy, orange sneakers, 1970's wallpaper and material, lentils, orange crayons, orange macaroons and then chocolate, cinnamon sticks, pottery, chocolate cake, branches, and fall leaves.

From that list and depending on your wedding budget you may want to source a lot of orange glass vases and have floating candles in the top, or you could have a cake-stand as a centerpiece and then arrange chocolate truffles or orange macaroons as your centerpiece. For a more sophisticated look you may want to use tropical flowers - just don't go mad with the amount - one or two in a tall vase would look stunning. A modern idea would be to use strong grass and thread orange berries on to it and then use this around the flowers. For a fun wedding centerpiece idea use the orange and brown candy in interesting glass jars, create more interest by having jars of different heights in the center and then have little scoops for your guests to help themselves when they get a bit peckish!

Flowers of any color look stunning but they don't just have to be in sensible arrangements, instead they could be submerged into tall cylinder vases with a floating candle on top. The flowers could be in a container and that doesn't mean a regular vase, it could be a cup, jug, a tin, a pumpkin or even a bottle (great for vintage style weddings where you can group old cola bottles, or old Apothecary glass bottles and have a single stem in each.)

And the same goes for candles they don't have to be in regular candle holders just make sure they are safe and if you are uncertain of the safety or the venue is then look at having the battery operated candles - they look realistic. You could use tins either completely filled with a candle or use tea lights, a bottle - just like in the rustic Italian restaurants, or pillar candles arranged on a vintage plate in your colors.

Of course if you are both into a particular sport or hobby you could also use that for the base of your centerpiece. A great and easy football centerpiece would be to borrow a local college team's football helmets and then have them in the middle of the table - you could always tie balloons to them for extra height. A golf themed centerpiece could be a pillar candle in a hurricane lamp with golf balls surrounding the candle. A music themed centerpiece could be sheet music wrapped around a square vase with your flowers in the center, or old records (that are scratched and no longer good for playing) with candles arranged on top. For disco divas getting married you couldn't go wrong with a disco ball at each table surrounded by tea lights. If they are too expensive you can pick up small disco balls at dollar stores and also old Christmas baubles. If you are using your hobby as your centerpiece, don't go completely mad with the theme, less is definitely more otherwise it will look over the top. Take one item from your hobby and design the centerpiece around it.

A step back in time is also a great wedding theme, if you have a favorite era for music and fashion then this could be for you here are some more unique wedding centerpiece ideas:
