With my wedding quickly approaching (where does time actually go?) I’ve begun the long and stressful process of coming up with the overall style of the wedding. Actually, I’ve known for a long time what the style was, the problem is focusing in on the details and bringing the vision to reality. In my search for the ideal reception table centerpieces, I’ve recently come to this important conclusion:
#1- Simpler is better
#2- Nobody is going to remember your centerpiece a year after your wedding.
Of the many (many) weddings that I’ve attended, I can’t remember what one centerpiece looked like. Except for a vague rememberance of a wedding where the centerpiece was so gigantic that no one could see anyone else sitting at the table except the people to there immediate left and right. Definitely not a good idea if you want your guests to socialize.
I’ve decided that I’m a huge fan of the simple, minimal centerpieces with a single flower-type like these:
The one with the Lilies of the Valley on the left is from Pottery Barn. This is by far my favorite of the three. Simple and elegant, with the stalks of the flower adding some fresh greenery to the table. The tall vase (although a little spendy) can be found at Amazon and is another great example of simple yet interesting. The low bud vases from The Bridal People are something that anyone could whip up themselves and save money (at around $6 each)- just pick up a few dozen of your favorite flower and place the buds in the vase. So pretty!
