One of the key elements that will set the tone for your reception is your choice of centerpieces. Centerpieces are a fantastic way to add personality to your venue and make a statement about your style and taste. With so many styles and arrangements to choose from, it can be challenging to select the perfect centerpiece for your wedding reception. In this blog post, we will discuss the pros and cons of low centerpieces vs tall centerpieces, the types of flowers that work well, and provide some tips to help you make the best choice for your special day.
Low Centerpieces:
Low centerpieces are perfect if you want an unobstructed view of the table and want to encourage easy conversation among guests. Cube or round vases work great for low centerpieces and can be filled with seasonal flowers, succulents, candles, or a mix of these elements. If you’re looking for a soft and romantic feel, consider using peonies, ranunculus, or roses. For a more simple yet elegant look, roses and hydrangeas are a great choice.
Tall Centerpieces:
If you want to add grandeur and elegance to the venue, tall centerpieces can do just that. They add drama and a wow factor to the room, but they can also obscure sightlines and become challenging to communicate across the table. Consider using tall stands or vases and fill them with tall floral arrangements or statement greens like branches or plumes. Stock and seeded eucalyptus work perfectly with tall centerpieces and are perfect for creating an extravagant feel. You could also mix in some roses, orchids, or other beautiful flowers to add color and texture.
Mix and Match:
If you can’t decide between low or tall centerpieces – why not have both? Combining different heights and styles is a great way to add visual interest to the room. For example, using smaller vases with flowers or foliage that spill out in between the taller arrangements can create a sense of balance to the eye. Grouping together different sized candlesticks in between the florals can create a romantic feel.
Choosing the right centerpiece for your wedding reception is all about making sure it aligns with your general color palette and overall wedding style/vibe. You want your centerpieces to create an amazing atmosphere for your guests while also creating beautiful memories. Whether you choose a low or tall arrangement, it’s important to choose flowers that work well for your style and theme. Remember to take your time when deciding – communicate with your florist or decorator, consider your budget and what you feel the most comfortable with. With some planning and creativity, your centerpieces will come together beautifully, and you’ll have one of the most memorable wedding receptions ever.
