Unique Table Centerpieces Ideas

Centerpiece: Cherubs, Ivy and Hurricane Lamps

We used a large potted English Ivy, with many trailing vines. This was beautiful, but lacked height! Then we inserted medium ceramic cherubs (we found unfinished ones at a craft store and spray painted them gold) put on a thin dowel and then inserted them into the ivy in groups of three. Over this, we placed a large hurricane globe. In the center of these cherubs (inside the hurricane globes) we added a large pillar candle. It was really spectacular! ~ Submitted by Diane, Nashville, TN

 

Centerpiece: Wreath and Champagne

For the reception centerpieces, I'm making 8" grapevine wreaths decorated in tulle, ribbon and small silk flowers that coordinate with my color scheme. At the time of the champagne toast, they will each have a bottle of champagne that fits in the center of them. They will be surrounded by favors of Hershey Kisses in tulle. Very inexpensive. ~ Submitted by Laura, Bellevue, WA

 

Centerpiece: Upside Down Wine Glass

Take a large wineglass and turn it upside down. Take a Styrofoam ball, small enough to fit on top of the base, cut it half. Glue gun it to the base. Take small white flowers, ivy and pieces of tulle in white. Glue it to the Styrofoam ball, leaving room for small flowers in the color of the wedding. Glue your wedding color flowers in the remaining space.

 

At the bottom of your styrofoam ball, you can glue four pieces of ribbon vertically, so they extend from the top to the bottom of the glass. It is a very beautiful and inexpensive centerpiece that your guests can take with them. ~ Submitted by Diane, Ontario, Canada

 

Centerpiece: Champagne Flutes

I went to local thrift stores and purchased many different champagne flutes, and spray painted them silver (my wedding color) and added glitter to spruce them up. I am using silk flowers and cellophane to add the final touch. It is fairly inexpensive and very easy to do!! ~ Submitted by Rosie, IL

 

Centerpiece: Champagne Buckets

We are using aluminum champagne buckets as the centerpieces. Inside will be a bottle of champagne. Balloons will be hung above in our colors with ribbon hanging down. And we are using food coloring and water to make colored ice cubes for the buckets. We'll have Hershey Kisses around the table. The champagne is something we need to get anyway so it's perfect

Centerpiece: Board Games

We're using board games and children's games as our centerpieces. We bought several of our childhood (and current) favorite board games - such as Cooties, Ants-in-Your-Pants, Monopoly, Life - and we're setting them up in the center of each table. We hope that this will not only look fun, but BE fun for those who choose to sit and play a few games! ~ Submitted by Tanya, Minneapolis, MN

 

Centerpiece: Money Tree

I have designed centerpieces for various types of receptions from very informal to elegantly designed pieces. One of the most memorable was the "money" tree centerpiece for the less formal reception. A money tree with fake money and a 3X5 piece of marbled paper was placed on each branch of the tree. Each guest wrote a "wish" or a "hint for a happy marriage" or just a simple "good luck" thought. They attached their thought for the bride and groom and replaced the paper money with real money.

 

To add a personal touch, pencils were placed next to the place cards. The pencils were engraved with the bride and grooms name and their wedding date with a satin ribbon and a silk flower around the pencil. Each table presented their money tree with wishes to the bride and groom who read them aloud. It was a warm-hearted way to send the bride and groom off. ~ Submitted by Jan, Salem, NH

 

Centerpiece: Unique Beer Bottles

My fiancé and I wanted something different for centerpieces, something that fit our personalities. I am not a flower person, and I do not like lace and bows. So I took beer bottles and cleaned the labels off. Then I used spray glue and sprinkled extra fine iridescent white glitter over the entire bottle. It gave them a frosted look. I also made our own "beer" labels with our picture, name, and wedding date and glued them to the front of the bottle. I tied a light silver ribbon to the mouth of the bottle and inserted glow sticks. We were not allowed to use candles, so the glow sticks made up for that. They were fun and completely fitting of us. ~ Submitted by Monica, Houston, TX

 

Centerpiece: Teapots

My sister has a collection of interesting teapots. We are filling them with small bouquets that have various flowers in them. The teapots are free, and the bouquets are from the local grocery store. The flowers only cost $4 a bunch. I have twenty tables to decorate, so this is cheap and easy. Also, it is very different because none of the teapots are the same. Great discussion pieces! ~ Submitted by Heather, IN
