Whether you are into daffodils, roses, crocuses, lilies, tulips, hyacinths, geraniums… there is little doubt that flowers always brings the most dull of the wedding centerpieces back to life. They are the perfect addition for any spring wedding. And very versatile, too, as you can “sub-theme” your wedding with a particular color or a particular fragrance…
Spring weddings are usually nicely decorated with pastel colors. Sometimes combining shades together gives a lovely overall effect: baby blue and pink, cream green and soft salmon, very light grey and mascarpone white are just some of the possible combinations. If stuck for ideas, you can check for pantone color combination online (again, I have learnt so much out of my corporate design education!). Your wedding centerpieces will reflect the chosen themes nicely and give an overall stunning effect to the perfect day.
Now, you want to make sure you stay away from dark colored flowers as they are much more suitable for a fall themed wedding. There are other things to consider that should help create an all-round theme for your wedding day. You might have to consider different things regarding certain situations, like a particular dress if you are already expecting – The Maternity Wedding Dress Shop is a great place to check out – or any other type of clothing, floral arrangements, lighting, catering etc that should fit the occasion. Whatever the choices, your décor should keep consistent with your chosen theme.
Also, spring is that amazing part of the year where things come to life. Why not reflect that in your wedding centerpieces by having your flowers surrounded by lots of different types of pastel toned buds? They would create a lovely centerpiece as well as marking a “new beginning”…
Bulbs are great for that particular fresh spring look. I’m thinking daffodils, tulips, calla lilies, begonias, dahlias, all available in different colors and therefore providing stunning effects for your spring theme. We all know how bulb flowers don’t really last that long when cut; that is what makes them perfect for your special centerpiece. What about keeping them potted with the buds just opening? The display could consist of decorative plant pots matching your theme –and don’t forget your chosen colors- for spectacular wedding centerpieces. And if you want everlasting fragrance, freesias and lilies every time!
Want to think outside the flower box? There are literally thousands of great ideas for your centerpiece. What about goldfish? Yes, clear fish bowls with goldfish swimming around! That will keep your guests entertained for sure as well as creating a very dynamic centerpiece.
Clear bowls and vases can also be used to display coffee beans, river stones, pebbles, sand, even underwater lighting… or have candy bouquets with giant lollypops, individual wedding cakes, floating candles, baskets with potpourri, photographs, fruit pyramids! Each centerpiece could be different from the next one in size and display form. Make each and every table unique!
As you can see, the possibilities are endless. But they should always reflect you!
