Congratulations on your engagement! As you begin planning the wedding of your dreams, you’ll need to select a centerpiece that fits your venue’s size and style. Whether you're hosting a grand celebration with towering ceilings or an intimate gathering in a rustic setting, designing centerpieces that match the style of your venue will definitely create an unforgettable night. In this blog post, we'll explore various centerpiece styles and offer tips on how to create a cohesive look that matches your wedding venue.
Tall Wedding Centerpieces
When your venue has high ceilings and large, open spaces, tall centerpieces are the perfect choice. Not only do they draw the eye upwards, but they also fill space vertically without cluttering the tables. Tall centerpieces can include cascading florals and they can be placed on clear cylinders. Not a fan of clear-glass vases? You can place your tall centerpieces on gold stands to create the same stunning look.
Low Table Centerpieces
On the other hand, if your venue is a cozy farm or an intimate-smaller setting, low centerpieces are exactly what you’re looking for! Rustic venues often blend textures and feature unique structures; this allows you to choose from plenty of unique options! Consider using floating candles to add a romantic feel to your venue. Not sure which style to choose? Talk to your florist and ask for recommendations based on their previous work at your venue!
Table Size Matters
Another crucial factor in choosing centerpieces is considering table size and layout at your venue. Round tables are perfect for almost any centerpiece style, including tall and low arrangements. Rectangular banquet tables provide opportunities for long garlands interspersed with votive candles or roses—this creates continuity along longer spaces while still allowing room for place settings. No matter which centerpiece you choose, you should consider how it will fit on your tables to avoid overcrowding the space.
Flower Decor for Your Venue
Aside from your reception centerpieces, consider adding a touch of blooms to other areas around your venue such as welcome signs or bar tables. A well-placed garland will add interest to your welcome sign. Want to point your guests in the right direction to find their seat? Add a stunning tall vase to the placecard table! Are you having a cocktail hour before your event? Consider adding bud vases to your tables with flowers to match the rest of your decor. No matter which arrangement you choose, flowers are the perfect touch for any area of your venue!
Finding the perfect balance between size, scale, and style can be daunting! By considering aspects like ceiling height or table sizes—you'll be sure to design a centerpiece that perfectly complements your venue. Ready to start planning the wedding of your dreams?
