5 Ideas For Great Do It Yourself Centerpieces For
Your Next Event

Finding the perfect centerpiece for your wedding may be one of the most time consuming aspects of the planning process. The best way to get a head start is to have a good idea of what you want before you start looking. Some people know exactly what they want and are ahead of the game from the start. The most important factor will relate to the theme of the event and how to make the flowers blend in with that theme.

1) Floating Candles: Put floating candles in a large glass bowl and decorate with a mixture of greens and a few flowers. The type of flower will depend on what is available at that time of year.

2) Large Hurricane Lamps: To add a little color to the table you can fill a hurricane lamp with greens, baby’s breadth and assorted or just one type of flower. It gives the table great height and color.

3) Candles and Mirrors: Place a small round mirror on the table and put a variety of sizes of candles, plain or colored depending on your preference. The candles reflect off the mirror and add a beautiful glow to the room.

4) Seasonal Plants: There are many plants that you can purchase in small pots. Place several of these together and they will look like a large bouquet.

5) Balloons: For the more informal wedding you could use some fancy balloons that will look classy and yet be fun at the same time.

If you are going to do centerpieces yourself, be in tune to the time of year for coloring and stick with your theme for the style and just have fun with it.
