The Cambridge Dictionary defines centerpiece as “the most important or attractive part or feature of something.” So, when it comes to weddings, the centerpiece should be the most eye-catching feature on each of your tables. But how to wow your guests if you’re planning a wedding? How can you impress the bride and groom with a perfect centerpiece if you’re a wedding planner or venue host? Read on for tips on creating a piece that will be almost as radiant as you on your special day.
Choose Your Centerpiece Based on Your Theme
The focal point on your guest tables, dessert table, guestbook table, gift table, and all other tables should match the overall theme of the wedding. For example, if you’re aiming for a sleek, modern two-tone theme, you may want to stick with a simple candle scape in the center of the table. If the theme is romantic, you’ll undoubtedly want lots of candles and perhaps even rose petals dotting your table. If your theme is luxurious, you may opt for a center arrangement with wine, flowers, and towering candlesticks.
No matter the theme you choose, small details can enhance your centerpiece. Here are five ways to make your tables unforgettable.
1. Accent with Artisan Serveware
Artisan serveware is a must for hors d’oeuvres tables, dessert tables, and the cake table. Handcrafted pieces for presenting teacakes, petit fours, bread, or fresh fruit can transform a simple finger food offering into an exquisite display.
2. Captivate with Custom Wine Bottle Holders
Most guests will be thrilled to find wine at each table. But most venues and rental companies only offer standard, bulky wine bottle holders. Consider a luminous silver color—wine bottle holder—with a delicate design of cherry blossoms for added elegance instead.
3. Enchanting Candles
Candles are a staple of most table arrangements, but you needn’t limit yourself to hurricane glasses or floating votives. A shimmering steel centerpiece—surrounding a display of candles allows you to skip obstructive hurricane glasses in favor of understated elegance.
4. Dazzling Details
Table settings are generally not considered a table’s focal point, but what if you could make each person’s space feel like one? Handcrafted, stone-polished steel placemats at each guest’s seat transform basic white plates into a regal place setting. If you’re aiming for a streamlined, minimalist theme, simple, delicate cutlery rests add instant sophistication.
5. Surprise them with Sustainability
Reclaimed stainless steel is an excellent material for striking table arrangements, table settings, and accents. Stainless steel serveware is long-lasting, non-toxic, and made from 100% recycled materials. It’s sure to wow your venue guests, betrothed clients, or your closest loved ones, even more when you tell them it is eco-friendly.
