The Center of Attention

The centerpiece you choose for your wedding will be the focal point of your reception.  Many people choose floral arrangements that compliment the color scheme, and theme of their wedding.  A good florist, or floral designer can put together a centerpiece that will be perfect for you occasion- but you better believe it is going to cost you a pretty penny!  If you have room in the budget, and an eye for florals go for it- but if you'd like take a moment to think outside the florals- here are few alternatives to adorn your tables with magnificant and unique centerpieces:

Favor Centerpieces: Get a little creative by bundling all of your wedding favors together into a beautiful and unique centerpiece.  Combining your favors and centerpieces into one will not only create a memorable piece, but it will also make some room in your budget, because you are not having to buy these items seperately.  Not sure where to start?  Mama will be happy to create this type of centerpiece for you- using any type of favor you choose.  (Our only request is that you try to choose a favor that your guests will actually use!).  Just send your request by email to mama@occasionsbymama.com.

Candle Light:  Create a soft romantic piece by using candles for your centerpiece instead of the usual flower arrangment.  You might want to throw a few petals down on the center of the table, and include simple tea lights- or you can create a more impactful piece using pillar candles, or even candle holders. 

Crystals:  Adorn your tables with crystals to give your wedding a rich sophisticated feel.  A stunning idea is to have a wedding tree at the center of each table, with strands of crystals dangling from it's branches.  Or, combining the candle centerpiece, with the crystals to add to it's charm. This use of crystals can be expanded to boutonnières, corsages and bouquets as well.

Candy:  For a fun loving twist on the floral arrangement, create a centerpiece out of candy or even a combination of candy and florals.

There is no limit to the creative options available for creating unique and memorable centerpieces for your wedding day.  Whatever you choose, be sure that it has meaning for you and is an illustration of your own personality and style.  Don't forget, you can request samples from Mama by sending your request to mama@occasionsbymama.com.
