Creative Ideas for Your Wedding Centrepiece

There are many ways you can get creative with your wedding and your centerpiece is one of them. Show off your quirky and creative side by having a unique centerpiece that no only livens up the place but also emulates your couple style and personality. Here are a few ideas to help you come up with a creative centerpiece for your wedding:

Wheat & Straw

• Branches and twigs – Instead of traditional flower centerpieces, you could try implementing a woodland, nature-inspired centerpiece. Throw together some twigs and branches; tie them up with a bow or lace brocade for a beautiful, laidback centerpiece.
  
  
• Fabric flowers – If you are intent on using a flower centerpiece but still wish to get creative, you could use flowers fashioned out of fabric instead. Try going for three different hues of fabric in the same color to fashion your favorite flower for your centerpiece.
  
  
• Submerged flowers – An elegant and creative way to implement flowers to your wedding centerpiece is by using tall, glass cylinders. Instead of using them as a normal vase, you could try submerging the flowers to create a unique and ethereal effect.
  
  
• Wheat and straw – Rustic and country-themed weddings could go really 
  
  
  well with centerpieces fashioned out of straw and wheat. Add an elegant and more delicate look by wrapping a silk ribbon around the bunch.
  
  
• Origami – The artsy and creative bride and groom could always go for centerpieces with origami flowers. If you’re going for a carnival-themed wedding, you could use bright-colored handcrafted papers to complete the look.
  
  
• Cupcakes – Another creative way to give your wedding a unique and fun
  essence is by using cupcakes for your centerpieces. Try throwing together several tiny cupcakes and fashioning them into a flower-style arrangement. Instead of using just one flavor and color of cupcake, you could brighten it up by opting for three or four varieties of cupcakes.

• Fruits in a cage – Get an antique birdcage for a rustic wedding centerpiece, and then fill it up with seasonal fruits in bright colors. This can give you a perfect blend of vintage and modern to create a unique centerpiece for your wedding.
  
  

Top Fall Wedding Flower Trends

Having your wedding in the fall gives you the advantage of using the most stylish and unique flowers.

Here are a few top trends in fall wedding flowers to help you make the right choice:

1. Textures – When it comes to fall weddings, the hottest trend includes arrangements in rich hues with well-defined textures. For your centerpiece, you can try going well beyond two or three types of flowers. Choose a mix of your favorite flowers in colors that suit your color scheme.

You could even try adding non-floral accents including lotus pods, leaves of wooly lamb’s ear, and fiddlehead ferns.

   The latest bouquet trend for fall weddings involve wrapping the stems in textured fabric or velvet sashes. Even for the groomsmen’s boutonnieres, do something similar and wrap the bare stem with satin or ribbon.
   
   
3. Rich hues and classic blooms – Even if you aren’t too keen on using textured arrangements, classic flowers are still among your best options. To keep them in tune with the season, you can try opting for classic blooms in deep and dramatic shades. You could choose from a wide range of classic fall colors.
   
   Otherwise, you could also opt for blooms in lesser-used colors such as forest green, copper, and aubergine. Quintessential dahlias could be the perfect choice for an elegant touch to your fall wedding. Roses, calla lilies, and hydrangeas are also among the trendiest flowers for fall weddings.
