How to Select Stunning Wedding Centerpieces

The wedding centerpieces you choose for your big day are in essence the focus of attention. They draw attention the décor, form the crux of all tables and can set the mood for the entire evening. While they are pretty and appealing to the eye, they also have to be practical and sensible so they don't interfere with the comfort of those seated around them or don't have a short shelf life. Here are some tips and expert advice on choosing wedding centerpieces.

Before you begin choosing, take into account the size of the centerpiece. It should be small enough to fit in and not interfere with elbowroom, plates and glasses but large enough to be noticeable and striking. Depending on the size of each table, the centerpieces have to be chosen according to scale.

Make sure that your centerpieces aren't too high. This will interfere with the guests' line of vision and neither will they be able to follow the ceremony clearly or converse with one another.

You can buy small picnic baskets for each table and fill them up with candy and fruits and decorate them with bows. These can act as munchies for the guests through the evening or can act as party favors for each family.

A unique wedding centerpiece idea is to have photo frames placed at the center of each table. An elegant photo frame with a picture of the couple will help to add a personal touch to every table and will make for an attractive centerpiece.

Another classic idea is to have thick candles placed as wedding centerpieces. At the end of the day, it is all about how you prop up the occasion that counts. Square candles within glass holders can cast dancing shadow and light play on the table and create a romantic ambience.
