14 Wedding Floral Centerpiece Ideas You'll Love: Premade & DIY

The focal point of your wedding presentations is the centrepieces. They are able to turn an ordinary table into a lavish and distinctive tablescape that impresses your guests and perfectly reflects the tone of your wedding. Therefore, it's imperative that the centrepieces you select complement your reception's colour scheme and ambience. It's not a tight squeeze.

It cannot be very safe to select the ideal centrepieces if you've never set the table for a formal event. We've therefore compiled a list of 14 original centrepiece ideas that will improve table displays at your ceremony and reception in an effort to make your wedding journey smoother.

DIY Wedding Floral Centerpiece Ideas

Do It Yourself floral arrangements are the best option if you want to add a personal touch to your arrangements. Any colour scheme you choose can be used with flowers to create a distinctive look, from romantic dusty roses to earthy terracotta. Additionally, you can personalize them with whimsical finishing touches like ribbons or fairy lights that run on batteries.

Additionally, you may easily prepare your centrepieces months in advance if you choose Flowersarch no-wilt flowers, as there is no need for refrigeration.

Roses provide a classical elegance

A small, bronzed vase creates an air of old romance in this simple yet lovely centrepiece for the bridal table. The silver dollar eucalyptus creates a dynamic and organic design of leaves, while the delicate pink roses encapsulate exquisite elegance.

This pattern is classic but adaptable, and it's simple to alter by changing the flowers or the colour scheme.

A champagne glass centrepiece

Consider arranging your table centrepieces in a gorgeous champagne glass as a way to toast to your new union.

With its striking DIY centrepiece, this table's focal point is sure to draw attention. The centrepiece's overall height makes a striking statement that attracts attention, while the soft beige and nude pink hues contribute to the elegant and romantic style. It would look fantastic on a sweetheart table.

A martini glass centrepiece

Does champagne not appeal to you? No worries. Try using a martini glass in its place.

This homemade martini glass centrepiece blends originality in design with an inventive container. The fresh white colour scheme helps to anchor the avant-garde statement made by the flowers and greenery's distinctive swooping shapes. And even though it appears complex, making it is actually very easy!

A unique hoop centrepiece

Who said that vases were required for centrepieces? You can showcase your innovative sense of style by making a hoop centrepiece if you enjoy breaking the mould and starting trends.

Soft pink and cream roses evoke the look of a floral wreath, while twine encases a metal hoop to create a rustic vibe in this do-it-yourself centrepiece. An eye-catching focal point is made by the globe-shaped candle holders hanging from the middle of the hoop. In addition, the fairy lights tucked within the flowers give off a lovely, ethereal glow.

Repurpose a bouquet

Are you looking for a quick and straightforward approach to making homemade reception centrepieces? For your reception, consider arranging your bridesmaids' bouquets in vases.

This not only helps you save money on flowers by allowing you to reuse the colour palette from your wedding in your reception, but it also eliminates the need for you to purchase separate DIY supplies or prepared centrepieces. Win-win!

Is it cheaper to make your wedding centrepieces?

Indeed! Consider this: You aren't paying someone else to put up your centrepieces. Thus, by hiring someone else to do the task, you're saving money. If you don't mind getting sneaky, it's pretty useful.

How many flowers do you need for a table centrepiece?

Depending on the size you desire!

Our do-it-yourself flower boxes come with enough flowers to make a 9–10 inch circular centrepiece (or bouquet). All you really need to construct extra tiny micro centrepieces are a few of the main flowers, some foliage, and a few accessories. Depending on the size you want, each DIY flower box can hold one to four centrepieces.

Premade Floral Centerpiece Ideas

Let's face it for a moment: selecting your location, liaising with a caterer, and clothing shopping—you already have a lot on your plate. The list is endless. On your special day, you most likely don't have the time to make every centrepiece by hand.

This means that Flowersarch readymade floral centrepieces are invaluable for those occasions when you want to avoid forgoing style in favour of quickness. All you need to do is remove them from their packaging, give them a little cleaning, and they're prepared to decorate your wedding reception. These are a few of our top creations.

Coloured glass vases provide vintage charm

The colourful glass adds a distinctive element to the design of these small Orange & Teal centrepieces that draw the eye. The tableau is harmonious because of the flowers' texture, which contrasts with the glass's clean surface. When paired with additional rustic components like fresh nuts and log coasters, they offer a creative approach to uplift an outdoor wedding.

The Navy creates a coastal statement

These Navy & Dusty Blue centrepieces make a lovely statement if you'd want to incorporate a little "something blue" into your wedding.

Deep blue gradient roses add depth to the colour scheme, while booming Navy dahlias create a rich focal point. The sage greenery creates a breezy vibe and is the perfect neutral tint to go with all the lovely blues. A beach party would be appropriate for this centrepiece design when paired with colourful glasses and an oceanic table runner.

An illuminating lantern centrepiece

A supper can have a warm and personal ambience thanks to soft candlelight. So why not light up the centre of your table with a lantern? The flickering candles can produce dreamy light, and you can make them fit in with your colour scheme and other decorations by adding little floral garlands. Additionally, your guests will have the impression that they are camping out at a highly classy picnic.

Purple creates a whimsical touch

Purple has historically been connected to royalty. Choosing purple centrepieces for your royal wedding might, therefore, improve the overall look of the tables.

The deep violet cosmos adds depth and subtle contrast to these Lilac & Gold centrepieces, while the soft lilac roses assist in creating a whimsical and romantic take on purple. Metallic gold accent leaves provide a refined touch that completes the royal motif.

Burgundy captures passion

These centrepieces in Burgundy and Dusty Pink will provide a romantic touch to your tables while capturing an opulent romance. The rich shades of pink and red are reminiscent of Valentine's Day presents you would give to the ones you care about, so it seems only fitting that they would grace the tables at your wedding.

We particularly enjoy combining them with other classic accents like melancholy, dripping candles, gilded cutlery, and crystal glasses. So stylish!

How to choose your wedding centrepieces

You get the idea: There are a ton of alternatives available to you for both homemade and prefabricated centrepieces. However, how can one go about selecting the ideal centrepieces for their special day?

Naturally, the amount of time you have available to dedicate to a project may determine whether you choose to make DIY or prefabricated centrepieces. However, that is merely one aspect of the design. Several elements are involved in selecting the best ones for you, including...

The table style

A single, sizable centrepiece positioned in the centre of a circular guest table might catch attention. Rectangular tables, however, offer more excellent decorating space. Therefore, you may want to arrange multiple small centrepieces extending across the middle of the table.

For visual interest, try utilizing different-height vases and sprinkling accent pieces like candles.

The season

The statement you want to make with your centrepieces can change depending on the season.

For instance, if your wedding is scheduled for spring, you might like ornate centrepieces that are overflowing with foliage. However, a centrepiece with white roses, dark pinecone accents, and brilliant red poinsettias can make a festive statement if you're planning a Christmas wedding and reception.

The focal point

A centrepiece serves more purposes than just looking good, despite what you would believe. Each of your centrepieces adds something special to your show as a whole. Your vision will determine the specific position.

You may want the centrepiece at your reception to be the centre of attention for all of your guests, the main attraction. On the other hand, you might like your centrepieces at a cake table to serve as focal points, luring guests' attention to your mouthwatering wedding cake.

How to style centerpieces at your wedding

You probably have a whole Pinterest board full of ideas by now that you've been meaning to test. Now, take out those old vases you couldn't resist buying at the flea market and those fragrant candles you scored on a bargain. Let's study some more tabletop styling methods!

Centrepieces for wedding registry tables

Your wedding day's theme and colour palette are formally introduced to your guests at the register table. Thus, the décor needs to be excellent. Gradient purple blossoms explode from a tall ceramic vase at this lovely Lilac & Gold register table, making an eye-catching dramatic impression.

The height of the flowers and greenery helps create visual balance against the low display cards, while the vase's design adds texture. It's a spectacular entrance that is certain to leave a remarkable impression.

Centrepieces at wedding dessert tables

Much while the sweets on your dessert table could seem good enough on their own, a few strategically placed centrepieces can make the setting much more enticing.

Two Rust & Sepia centrepieces give visual interest to this bridal dessert table. Their dried leaves and sprigs of pampas grass give the cake a rustic, autumnal feel that contrasts with the frosting's silky, creamy texture. Delicious!

Centrepieces for wedding guest tables

During the reception, you will most likely use centrepieces on your guest tables. But keep in mind that a stunning tablescape is more than just one or two centrepieces.

Small elements, like the burlap napkins on this cosy table, can really bring the whole look to life. Their natural texture works well with the pampas grass sprigs in the centrepiece arrangements. We really adore the subtle tablecloth and the way the colours of the pottery plates complement one another. It makes vibrant centrepieces pop.

Centrepieces for wedding head tables

While flower swags can make a stunning statement for your sweetheart's table, centrepieces can also create a lovely mood.

Emily and Alan, Flowersarch's pair, used a rustic sunflower centrepiece as the main attraction at their head table. They added a whimsical personal touch to this intimate area created exclusively for the two of them by showcasing personalized Mickey and Minnie rings on a wooden log platform.
