Add Height to Your Wedding Centerpieces
Dramatic centerpieces will add style and elegance to your wedding! A great way to achieve this is with tall elements that reach skyward. These are some great ways to add height to your wedding centerpieces to get that stunning look that every bride desires.
First of all, think beyond traditional flowers in a vase. A fantastic way to get height in your centerpieces is to create trees from branches. They can be decorated according to the season and style of your wedding. For instance, if you are having an elegant Winter Wonderland wedding and plan to have lots of sparkle in your wedding like crystal jewelry and chandeliers, hang shimmering crystals and beads from the branches. White or silver painted branches will be extremely elegant when draped with their own glistening crystal wedding jewelry. Or for a spring wedding, leave the branches of your centerpiece trees in a natural color, and use pretty ribbons to dandle flowers from each branch. It is such a pretty and creative way to use flowers.
Another really neat way to give your centerpieces a vertical line is with non-floral elements such as coral. Paint faux coral in red or for more drama, black, and set it standing up into a bed of sand or pebbles. It can be surrounded with starfish and seashells for a true beach theme, or flower blossoms for an elegant chic effect that will look great in any reception setting. The coral is a wonderful element that can be pulled into other aspects of your wedding design, such as on the invitations and as a graceful wrapping paper print for favor boxes.
Very tall candelabras add magic to an evening wedding. Choose an antique silver for an old school opulence, Art Deco style crystal for a modern/retro wedding, or an ornately designed black painted candelabra for a cool Gothic romantic effect. Not only will the candle holders add considerable height to your tablescapes, but when filled with tall taper candles, the vertical effect will be even greater. Candelabras can be adorned with flowers, or pay a nod to Truman Capote's legendary Black and White Ball, and simply twine them with greenery.
When you want your centerpieces to have true height and drama, don't forget that you can work from the ceiling down instead of the tabletop up. Long lines of flowers such as gerber daisies or even orchids can be suspended over the reception tables for an impressive effect. Another gorgeous option is to hang dramatic crystal teardrops on clear wire over a floral centerpiece. The sparkling crystals will draw the eye up as they appear to float over the tables.
There are some really creative and unique ideas for creating tall centerpieces. Think about creating towers or stacks of an element that really speaks to you. Book lover? Pile up stacks of vintage books by your favorite authors, and place small battery powered candles into Moroccan patterned votive holders on the different tiers. Very fun and different. You can stack and layer almost anything, even edible items like petit fours or cupcakes on decorative tiers. These non-traditional centerpieces will certainly help to put your own personal stamp on your wedding reception, which after all, is what the design plan should be all about.
