Editor's Note: These beautiful
centerpiece ideas can be used for the
at-home wedding or another wedding
location. Simply use the ideas for
inspiration for your big day!
Chocolate Brown & Pink:Narrow
Tuscan-style tables arranged in a
U-shape displayed the wedding color
combination -- chocolate brown (in the
linen runner), pink (in the peony
arrangements), and chartreuse (in the
menus tucked into the folds of the
napkins).
Peonies
&
Daisies:
At the
reception,
there
was nary
a leaf
in
sight.
Big
round
bouquets
flush
with
peonies
and
daisies
and set
off by
baby
peegee
hydrangeas
were
placed
in metal
containers
wrapped
in brown
douppioni
silk
ribbon.
Buttoned
Up in
Blue:
A footed
cake
plate
elevates
this
centerpiece
to new
heights.
Blue
votives
burn in
cups of
blue
sand,
but
colored
sugar,
pebbles,
or beach
glass
would
also
look
wonderful.
One
Flower
Extravaganza:
Hydrangeas
bloom
profusely
in
summer,
making
them a
good
choice
for an
at-home
wedding.
This
centerpiece
was
created
in an
interesting
urn,
using
only one
type of
flower.
All
Tulips:
Tulips
can be
difficult
to
arrange
when
stems
are left
long,
since
stems
tend to
bend and
droop.
Tulips
cut
shorter,
like
these,
can be
arranged
tightly
enough
to hold
each
other
more
upright.
Country Bouquet:Vase arrangements
are easy to create. Simply fill a vase
three-quarters full of water, arrange
the bouquet in your hand, and cut the
stems to the desired length before
inserting into the vase. For a
centerpiece, make sure to choose low
vases and insert so the lower flowers
sit at or below the vase's rim.
Rose Cups:Silver julep cups
like this one are a popular way to
arrange small bouquets. You might place
three to five of these around a tall
candelabra, or space several down the
length of a rectangular table. Cut some
of the blooms short enough so they sit
on the lip of the vase and insert a few
stems of frothy filler flowers for
interest.
