Unique
Centerpiece Ideas for Your Wedding Day
- by KissMeGoodnight.com
A couple wishing to really make a statement
at their wedding may want to invest in truly unique centerpieces.
Typically reception halls do not allow for a great deal of
creativity in the decorations as they utilize standard table
linens and place settings. However, utilizing unique centerpieces
is one way that the bride and groom can make their reception
truly memorable.
Incorporating
live fish into the centerpieces is one truly unique centerpiece
idea for a wedding reception. Simple glass
bowls can be used and filled with a few colorful glass marbles
along with some water and an exotic and colorful fish. You
could even include a small amount of fish food at the table
where children will be sitting with careful instructions on
how to avoid overfeeding the fish. The children will have a
lot of fun and will be less distracted then they would have
been with a more traditional centerpiece on the table. This
lively and interactive centerpiece idea is sure to be a hit
with kids and will even keep adults entertained.
Another unique centerpiece idea is to arrange
a collection of board games in the center of each table. This idea is not
only unique but if the guests choose to partake in the games;
it gives the guests at the table the opportunity and incentive
to get to know those seated at their table if they don’t already
know them. This is an excellent option for guests who don’t
enjoy dancing because they won’t feel so left out of the fun
of the wedding.
Cakes
or cupcakes arranged on a serving tray and artfully decorated
with fresh or artificial flowers also make a lovely
and unique centerpiece. These cakes can be used in place of
the traditional wedding cake. Using several small cakes as
centerpieces is not only an extremely unique centerpiece idea
but it also allows the couple the option of having several
different types of cakes and fillings. These centerpieces can
be collected by the wait staff and sliced in the kitchen for
desert or they can be sliced at the individual tables for additional
entertainment value.
An
attractive journal that matches the theme of the wedding along with several pens can also serve as a unique centerpiece.
This centerpiece will not only look lovely on the table but
can also be used by the guests to leave messages of congratulations
or words of advice for the couple. This way the couple not
only had a unique centerpiece but they also have a treasured
souvenir of their wedding day in the kind words recorded by
their wedding guests.
Mirrors
and candles can also be used to create unique centerpieces. An attractive round mirror could be placed in the center of
the table with several lit candles resting on the glass. The
flickering light of the candles reflecting on the glass makes
for a very striking centerpiece especially if the light in
the reception hall is kept dim.
Gift
boxes of several sizes can also be used to create unique
centerpieces. The couple could take gift boxes of three different
sizes and wrap each box in a different but complementary piece
of wrapping paper. Once the gift boxes are wrapped they can
be glued together at odd angles to create very unique centerpieces.
Another unique centerpiece idea is to have
puzzles made up from pictures of the couple. The pieces of the puzzle can be
left scattered on the table. This unique centerpiece idea encourages
the people sitting at the table to work together to try to
put the puzzle together. This is especially useful if many
of the guests do not know each other because it is a great
ice breaker.
An
eclectic assortment of Champaign flutes also makes a truly
unique centerpiece. You can purchase an assortment of flutes
of various shapes and sizes from a thrift store and clean them
up to use them as centerpieces. The flutes can be arranged
in an attractive but random pattern to create a unique centerpiece
for any occasion.
The choice of the centerpieces is one of the only opportunities
that a couple has to express their individuality and ensure
that their wedding reception really stands out. While some
unique centerpiece ideas may require more of an effort than
the traditional centerpiece of flowers, a unique centerpiece
is more likely to be remembered than a boring one.
