A wedding reception table centerpiece is the cornerstone of any wedding reception decor. It will be the first thing all the eyes will be drawn to when your guests enter your reception. So, the look of your table is paramount!

Having said that, whether you opt for bright and bold flowers or small and colorful blooms or eclectic edible arrangements, just make sure your wedding reception centerpiece is eye-catching and reflects your wedding theme.

While most couples opt for floral arrangements, the options extend far beyond that. To help you find the perfect fit for your wedding, we’ve rounded up a list of some really unique ideas and arrangements for the centerpiece. So discover what your options are and get inspired for your own décor.

1. The mighty high centerpiece: 

Tall centerpieces are always a smart choice for an outdoor reception. The only precaution you need to take is to ensure that your guests can see from across the table. We are loving these really tall floral arrangements as centerpieces:

9. Mismatched china: 

We are going gaga over the Indian version of these beautiful, blue pottery vases used as centerpieces and also the story behind it!  

The bride was from Rajasthan and the groom was from France, so their wedding planner Devika Narain decided to weave in blue pottery details (which are common motifs in both cultures) into the centerpieces of the dinner table. *awwwwww*

So, have you found your perfect pick yet?

Although before deciding one right away, here are a few things we would want you to remember:

Colour palette: You’ll need to decide what palette you want to work with.

Floral or non-floral:You’ll need to decide if you are picking flowers or non-floral alternatives. The season can play a role in the selection process, as not all blooms are available at all times of the year.

Vibe: The vibe of the rest of your event also matters as you probably don’t want modern centerpieces if the rest of your affair is traditional Indian style inspired.
