Stylish Wedding Centerpiece Combinations

An army of perfectly matched centerpieces decorating the tables at your wedding reception is so expected and unoriginal. Why not liven things up by designing several different centerpieces so that there will be an assortment of table decorations at your wedding? This is how to create stylish wedding centerpiece combinations that will set your wedding apart.

The key to mixing and matching centerpieces is to pink one or two key elements to carry throughout all of the table arrangements. It is much like picking the perfect handcrafted bridal jewelry for your wedding; as long as you select bridal jewelry which is handcrafted along a general theme, like pearls with crystals, you need not choose pieces which match exactly. A more eclectic approach will allow more of your personal style to shine through. The same principle works just as well for wedding centerpieces as it does for Wedding Jewelry.

A combination of high and low centerpieces is always a good place to start. Choose one dominant type and color of flowers to give the different designs a sense of continuity. Then try several ways in which they can be arranged in vessels which are attractive together, but not the same. Let’s say that you chose pink tulips as your signature flower, for example. One of your centerpiece styles could be a low round vase bursting with a tight bunch of gorgeous pink tulips. On an adjacent table, the centerpiece could be the same type of pink tulips submerged in a tall clear cylindrical vase. If you wanted a third table arrangement, a cluster of short cylinders with a small bouquet of tulips would be elegant. Surround all the different versions of centerpieces with the same ivory votive candles, and you will have table arrangements which have enough variety to give your reception visual interest, yet enough in common to look beautiful together.

Another approach to combining centerpieces is to select one color to use, but mix up the elements. You could do a tall footed vase with orange tulips on one table, a low oval vase with exotic orange orchids on the next, and a classic round vase with orange roses on the one next to that. Again, use the same type of candles to tie everything together. A beautiful bit of greenery could be another unifying element. All the centerpieces will be fabulous in their own right, and together, they will really pack a punch.

For informal weddings, an assortment of vessels can be one of the best ways to add variety and personality to the centerpieces. Let’s say that you were having a garden wedding under a tent in your backyard. Instead of using the same rented vase from the florist on every table, find your own vases or vessels in antique shops and flea markets. As long as they have a similar style, they will look fantastic together. You might choose to use something other than vases, such as a collection of hand-painted teapots or white pitchers. Fill each one with the same types of flowers to tie your diverse collection of vessels together.

Weddings these days are all about showing off the creativity and style of the bride and groom. Cookie cutter centerpieces just do not have enough visual excitement to make the reception venue look really unique and special. By mixing and matching your wedding reception centerpieces, you will find that the finished effect is absolutely chic and totally unforgettable.
