Wedding Reception Centerpieces
The wedding reception is often the part of the wedding that takes the most attention to detail, decoration, and time.
When making your table decoration, many people turn to tall centerpieces for wedding receptions to add height and style to their tables. But what are you creative options in taller centerpieces for tables?
Take a look at some popular ways to add height and elegance to your reception décor.
Floral Trees
Some of the most popular taller centerpieces are floral trees, a type of centerpiece with a narrow base and stem and a round bouquet of blooms on the top of the decoration.
These centerpieces are so often sought after because, while they’re tall enough to fill a room, they don’t impede guest’s conversations with a bulky middle. These centerpieces are more difficult to construct at home, though, so hiring a florist for this table decoration may be a good option.
Some of the most popular flowers for these centerpieces include:
- Roses
- Daisies
- Lilies
- Hydrangeas
Long, Elegant Branches
Centerpieces that use elegant cuttings of a variety of branches are also very popular amongst the wedding crowd.
These centerpieces are also perfect for those who don’t want to have to water any bouquets or cuttings they use. There are many types of branch cuttings that you can use for centerpieces, including:
- Cherry blossoms
- Pussy willow
- Manzanita branches
You can either order pre-cut branches online or use cuttings you’ve collected from the area you live in. When cutting branches around your home, always make sure to ask for permission from whoever owns the land you’re cutting from.
After cutting your own branches, either keep them watered until the big day or let them dry out if there is no foliage of the cutting to keep fresh.
Using Taller Flowers
Don’t forget the options in longer stemmed flowers when planning your centerpieces.
Table decorations using taller flowers are also very easy to make at home. The elements of these centerpieces are also fairly inexpensive to put together too. The only materials that you need for creating a centerpiece with taller flowers are:
- Vase (glass generally looks better for taller centerpieces)
- Filler marbles or pebbles (to anchor the centerpiece)
- Tall flowers (e.g. calla lilies, daisies)
- Flower food
Choosing Your Tall Centerpieces
Options in tall centerpieces for wedding receptions are plentiful, matching a number of different design schemes and wedding theme elements.
When planning your own centerpieces, take a look at floral trees, branch centerpieces, and even longer-stemmed flowers for a table decoration option that might fit your needs and décor desires.
