Choosing the Perfect Centerpiece
When it comes to choosing the right centrepiece, there are a few things that you will need to consider. Budget, appearance, the comfort, and happiness of your guests, to name a few.
Consider the Theme/Style of Your Wedding
The centrepieces should efficiently complement the setting and sync with the ambience you want to create. Whether you opt for something glamorous or simple and elegant, modern or retro and vintage, formal or casual, your choice of centrepiece should reflect your aesthetic taste while making an instant statement about your wedding’s theme. Of course, they will depend on many things like colours and seasons, your personal preferences as well as trendy décor ideas.
Know the Table Structure
In addition to aesthetics, the structure of your tables plays a key role when choosing your centrepieces. You should know the size and shape of the tables you are dealing with. They can help you decide on the size, height, and quantity of your centrepieces. You may have several shapes throughout your venue, adding visual interest to your reception, or one table style to keep things uniform. One single centrepiece in the middle that doesn’t obstruct the guests’ view works best for round tables. Whereas square tables are compatible with either round or square centrepieces. Rectangular and oval tables call for multiple focal points, having a very aesthetically pleasing effect.
Consider Your Budget
Even if you are on a tight budget, you can still impress your guests. There are so many affordable wedding reception ideas floating around out there that it can get a little bit overwhelming. With a little smart shopping and creative thinking, you can make beautiful and elegant centrepieces with affordable artificial flowers, vases, floating candles, and other magical-looking objects for your wedding reception, hence making it look expensive while still on a budget.
Think of Your Guests
Once you know what you can afford, think of your guests. Their comfort and preferences should be considered as well. Think about how many guests will be seated at each table and how much physical space there is on each table for the centrepiece. You will want your guests to be comfortable while seating at the table, talking to other guests, and relaxing at your party. So choosing right will help keep the wedding entertaining and fun for everyone.
