Wedding Table Centerpiece Ideas

Multipurpose Wedding Table Centerpiece Ideas

There are so many aspects that go into planning your wedding that anything you can create for the big day that has more than one purpose will be a huge time saver. That being said, there are many wedding table centerpiece ideas that can serve other purposes as well.

For example, one item that makes a beautiful centerpiece is a potted plant. Not only is this an environmentally friendly way to decorate for your wedding, they can also double as gifts for your bridesmaids that they can take home once the reception has concluded. If you’d rather not have pots sitting on your tables that actually look like pots, you can always cover them with moss or another appropriate decorative item. 

Wine is a staple of most wedding receptions and you can have your bottles of wine do double duty by having a five tier display of bottles on each reception table. Not only does this add a touch of class and elegance to your wedding day, it also allows you to send guests home with a bottle of wine each, saving you the trouble of obtaining separate wedding favors.

Another way to incorporate wine into your wedding table centerpieces is to start weeks if not months before your wedding day collecting empty wine bottles. You’ll want to remove the label from each wine bottle and insert a tall candle into it. This leaves you with wedding table centerpieces that are easy to create and can be used to decorate your home following your wedding.

For a splash of bright color, other wedding table centerpiece ideas include a pedestal adorned with the fruit of your choice. Ideally you will want a fruit that matches your wedding colors, meaning if one of them is green or red you’ll want to use apples. Then you have the choice of sending every guest home with a piece of fruit or taking it home and making fresh pies with it. Alternatively you could choose to arrange a fruit cornucopia style wedding table centerpiece for a farmer’s market feel.

If candles are more your style than fruit a classic wedding table centerpiece involves scented candles on each reception table and standing a mirror up behind the candles. The reflection of the lit candle that the mirror will give off will add more ambiances to your wedding. You can then use the scented candles as wedding favors for your guests. The scent that you choose should reflect your wedding theme and décor if at all possible. If your wedding features a lot of flowers, scented candles that smell like a specific flower would be the best choice. 

These are just a few of the many wedding table centerpiece ideas that can always do double duty for you. There are endless possibilities when it comes to choosing the design of your wedding table centerpieces and this should make the whole wedding planning process much more fun and relaxing for you and your partner.
