15 Centerpieces You'll Want to Re-Create for Your Wedding Day ⋆ Viet Wedding

You can’t think about your reception décor without thinking about flowers. From over the top to simple yet chic, let some of our favorite centerpieces inspire you.

1. Pedestaled Blooms

Put your centerpieces on display with pedestal vases. They’re perfect for arrangements with low-hanging elements like jasmine vine or seeded eucalyptus. If you’re hosting a black-tie affair, opt for pedestals in silver or gold to elevate the blooms.

2. Boxed Succulents

Succulents add texture to an all-flower arrangement. Pair them with classic blooms, like roses, dahlias and seeded eucalyptus, to keep the arrangement from veering too desert chic. Low, boxed centerpieces allow for easy conversation among guests.

3. Driftwood Accents

Life Long Studios

Make a statement with a single element, like a piece of driftwood. Vibrant greens and a delicate orchid elevate the look of this arrangement, while a simple lucite tray gives the centerpiece a modern edge.

4. Vintage Books

Add an antique touch to your florals by stacking some old books in the center of your tables. Pair with brass candleholders and simple tapers for a classic style. Bonus: When you add accessories to the table, you can pare down on your blooms—instant savings.

5. Floral Terrariums

Put your favorite blooms on display in a glass jar or terrarium. We love the look of spray roses in place of expected ferns, greens and moss. Look for vessels that represent your wedding style, like this rustic wood-bottomed jar.

6. Just-Picked Stems

Give your arrangement a just-picked look by adding florals to a base of wheatgrass. You can use fewer stems while still creating a lush centerpiece. We love this style for a garden wedding or even a backyard bridal shower.

How can hanging flowers not wow you? Draw your guests eyes’ upward with floral installations. Suspended hydrangeas mimic the table arrangements, while hanging candles add a romantic ambience.

Bring the woods to life at your wedding reception. This tablescape gives off a forest-like feel with a mix of blooms and a moss table runner detail. The addition of mismatched vessels and candles give the whole look an eclectic, romantic vibe.

9. Rustic Roses

When setting a table, balance is key. Rustic antlers are offset by romantic roses and dahlias effortlessly floating in mercury glass dishes. The addition of a linen runner breaks up the wood tones and creates a more luxe feel.

There’s something so timeless about an all-white reception with natural greenery. Add some ambience to a formal table with long, elegant taper candles. Pair the candlesticks with lush, but low, centerpieces to create a real wow factor.

11. Ornamental Kale

Daphne and Dean

Edible arrangements are having a moment. We love the addition of ornamental kale and berries to this rustic centerpiece. Play with in-season vegetables and fruits or even give a nod to your dinner menu with your edible additions.

12. Nautical Lanterns

Hosting a beachside affair? Keep the flowers simple and opt for statement lanterns. Thanks to glass panes, your candles will stay lit—even with a stiff ocean breeze. Soften the look with a few flowers or other nautical accessories.

13. Pretty Proteas

Michelle March Photography

Proteas have slowly been sneaking their way into arrangements of all kinds, from bridal bouquets to chair decor. We love this prehistoric-looking bloom for its staying power and fullness in centerpieces. Pair with softer stems, like ranunculus or garden roses, for a balanced look.

14. Ginger Jars

Add color to your reception table with your floral vessels. Mini ginger jars are the perfect base for a vibrant arrangement of peonies. You could even add unique citrus accents (kumquats, lemons and limes) give this table setting a totally fresh feel with contrasting colors.

15. Flower Boxes

822 Weddings

Try this unexpected take on a centerpiece: Ask your florist to forgo the traditional vase for aged, wood boxes. A mix of blooms and heights give this arrangement a relaxed, organic feel well suited for a rustic celebration.
