The florals for your table centrepieces are more than just a decoration; it’s about creating an atmosphere that reflects your personal style and sets the perfect tone for your special day. Whether you prefer large, luxurious arrangements or simple, elegant accents, the right flowers will add the final touch to your dream wedding. Our guide below gives insight into the choosing the perfect design for your centrepieces.
Define the overall style of your wedding
The first step in choosing floral designs for your wedding tables is to consider feel you want to create within the space. Your flowers should enhance and align with the mood you're aiming for, whether it’s a romantic and elegant, or modern and luxe.
- Romantic & Garden-Inspired: Soft, pastel colors with lush arrangements of blousy roses, fluffy peonies and big beautiful hydrangeas will create a romantic and dreamy atmosphere.
- Natural & Rustic: Wildflowers, greenery, and natural textures create a relaxed, earthy vibe.
- Modern & Minimalistic: Simple, arrangements with clean lines. Incorporating flowers such as orchids, anthuriums or minimalist greenery, are ideal for contemporary and sleek weddings.
Consider the table shape and the space you are designing for
When it comes to choosing the centrepiece designs for your wedding breakfast, the size of the space as well as the shape and length of the tables can influence the designs you choose.
- Tall Centrepieces: Creating a statement and bringing grandeur to the space. Tall vases or stands with an abundance of florals and cascading greenery work particularly well in large spaces with high ceilings.
- Floral bowl arrangements: Elegant pedestal or low bowls with an abundance of florals create an elegant feel and a floral look. These work particularly well on round tables, or repeating regularly down a long table as part of a tablescape, perhaps with tapered candles, small lamps and greenery peppered through for a luxury feel.
- Natural meadows - creating whimsical meadows with candles nestled in creates a beautiful, magical garden feel, bringing the outside in. These can also be repurposed in your ceremony space.
- Delicate florals: Smaller, more delicate florals such as bud vases work beautifully en masse down a long table with tall candles placed through. They can be used to add additional florals as part of a tablescape or to decorate smaller tables such as poseurs or coffee tables.
Ask for design advice from your wedding florist
