21 Unique Wedding Centerpiece Ideas

I love it when I see brides get creative with their wedding centerpieces. The right table decor seamlessly ties together the sincerity of the ceremony with the celebrated atmosphere of the reception. Handmade is definitely in while bland, boring flower vase designs are definitely out. Steer away from the standard decor options (mirrors, floating candles, feathers) and opt to share a little bit of your personality with each and every table.

Remember, some wedding centerpieces complement a wedding theme while others are specifically meant to be a main, bold focal point of the day. Knowing the difference is the key.

Enjoy the lovelies below and I’d love to know which one of these wedding centerpiece ideas is your favorite!
