We got used to flower centerpieces on wedding tables: just some pretty flowers in the colors you need. But what if you break the traditions and make a non-flower centerpiece? Let’s look at some options you may take. Dried branches decorated with jewelry or whatever you want, candles, ice, yarn balls, even a planet which gives a name to the table! A fantastic idea for a fall wedding is a decorated bowl with vegetables, and for a spring or summer wedding – a wooden box with some yummy fruit, peaches, for example. A beach wedding would be accentuated with glass bowls with sea stars and sand. Choose a piece according to your big day theme and colors. An Ikebana piece, a lemon pyramid or a peacock feathers bouquet – just have a look at some examples below and get inspired!
Greenery/Succulents/Air Plants
If you don’t wanna splurge on flowers, stick to greenery, air plants and succulents – they are extremely popular and trendy, they can be incorporated into nearly any wedding decor, from rustic to modern. Make tall centerpieces on geo stands using various types of textural greenery, create bold geometric terrariums with air plants and succulents, put them into boxes, planters or vintage books even. Choose whatever fits your wedding decor.
