We're always being asked about cool ways to make decor and floral "pop", but not spend a huge amount. A common request for wedding centerpiece floral and decor is, "Can we keep the centerpieces under $1,000?"
Because of the cost of sourcing and transporting fresh flowers, and the skill and labor of your florist, wedding floral centerpieces often top $50 - 75, hitting in the $200's and up for large, lavish, or elevated centerpieces. Wow! If you have 12 tables plus service tables and buffet, that $1,000 can get eaten up pretty fast if you put a centerpiece on every table.
What if you think out of the box and maybe don't put a fresh floral centerpiece on every single table? What if you had a big square or round table for the wedding party, in the center of the room, with an amazing, show-stopping, gigantic lavish centerpiece that drew all eyes to the center of the room and the happy couple? (In the photo below, there are florals on the guest tables, but imagine the following ideas: crystal bowls with fruit or candles, arrangements of vintage glass bottles and feathers, instead.)

It's a different way to spend that $1,000.00. Have you ever seen this done, and what were your thoughts? Do you think the average wedding guest missed out having a fresh floral centerpiece on his or her table? Do you have any other ideas about how to do wedding centerpieces differently, or to get more bang out of the wedding buck? We welcome all your relevant comments below.
This centerpiece looks so amazing! The colors and the decors, everything looks so classic chic! Planning a wedding and everything entailed is really hard and stressful so I applaud the bride for choosing such great things!
