A centrepiece is an important item of a display, usually of a table setting. Centrepieces help set the theme of the decorations and bring extra decorations to the room. A centrepiece also refers to any central or important object in a collection of items.
On the table, a centrepiece is a central object which serves a decorative purpose. However, centrepieces are often not too large, to avoid difficulty with visibility around the table and to allow for the easier serving of dishes. Following are the ideas for wedding reception centerpieces on a budget.
Simple glittered vases: For all the glitter-loving brides - I know you're out there! What I loved about these vases, that I really want you to notice is that the water in each vase was only filled up to the glitter line - obsessed. That little detail adds so much beauty to this design. Tape off different heights on each glass. Then using decoupage glue, paint a layer onto the glass and cover with chunky gold glitter. Remove the tape immediately and let dry completely. Apply two coats of decoupage glue on top of the glitter (with at least an hour of dry time in between each) and you won't lose a single sparkle.
Floating candle vases with golden string: Embellish pillar vases by wrapping them with gold or silver twine, tie off with a tight knot and hide underneath a few layers. Add water and a floating candle and that's all there is to it. Simple, elegant and can be interspersed with simple vases holding large bloomed flowers like you see here. Using multiple vases that have water in them at different heights will add interest and depth to your centerpiece. You can even color the water with a few tiny drops of food coloring if you want to get crazy crafty! We can also use Fruit & flowers in a box. Using a wooden box stack fruit, vegetables, succulents and flowers that match your wedding colors. A square box would be perfect for round tables and a rectangle box would be best for rectangle tables. You can either construct these boxes yourself with 1/2″ thick panels of plywood or you can buy them at different home decor shops.
Lanterns and seashells: Lanterns of all shapes and sizes make terrific centerpieces. For this setup you'll start with a natural colored fabric table runner, place different sized white lanterns along it and scatter small seashells here and there. A simple glass mason jar every two feet or so with a votive adds a nice dimension to the display. Lit lanterns are the most amazing decor for outdoor events, they look nice while the sun is up, but the real charm is when the sun sets.
