Wedding centerpiece ideas can come from a variety of places--from florists, craft sites, friends, other weddings, photos, and books. There is a wealth of information on wedding centerpieces out there, but there is one important principle everyone can follow when designing a wedding centerpiece: the centerpiece should reflect you as a bride or a couple.
How to Display Wedding Centerpieces
Wedding centerpieces can be placed in a variety of vases, bowls, dishes, planters, and containers. It is definitely possible to create an elegant centerpiece using an unusual container. Even at a formal wedding, centerpieces don't have to be too serious.
Centerpieces can be beautiful using a variety of objects. Flowers aren't the only thing that can be used--candles, rocks, shells, small objects, glass beads or rocks, water, moss, sand, and wood all work in wedding centerpieces.
Wedding centerpieces can sit on the table themselves or on top of other objects such as glass, mirrors, fabric, a nest of twigs, fabric (like colorful bandanas, retro prints or elegant solid sheers), paper, or moss. The possibilities are endless when it comes to centerpieces; don't think you have to be traditional. The great thing about them is that you can personalize your wedding without having to take too many risks. While some people make their weddings memorable by choosing unusual songs or dancing up the aisle, you can choose to have a traditional wedding with unique centerpieces. If you are more the traditional type and less of a risk taker, this is the place to express creativity.

How to Create a Personal Centerpieces
Flowers can be incorporated into personal centerpieces. If a flower has special meaning to you, then use it. If you have always wanted to have pink roses at your tables, then use them but think about using unusual containers to hold them.
Centerpieces can be created from fruit (cut into flowers, dried or whole), sea shells, drift wood, plants and topiaries, porcelain decorative balls, feathers, flower petals, and gourds. More unusual centerpieces will have a twist to them--they might have a few personal items stuck in them to reflect the couple, or they might be something unconventional themselves.

Winter weddings give you the opportunity to use colors and themes on your tables that aren't available to springtime brides. Blue, silver and white is a striking combination that is reminiscent of snowflakes against the nighttime sky. Deep green pine bows, pine cones and other embellishments of the season tie together your winter theme in eye-catching colors.
Centerpieces
Hire an ice sculptor to make small--less than 1 foot tall--ice sculptures for each table. Set on a small pedestal and surround with evergreen bows or silver tinsel garland. Swans are traditional, or use other themes of the season. If a sculptor is out of your budget, make your own ice centerpiece. Fill a bundt pan 1/3 full of water. Tint with food coloring and freeze. Remove from the freezer and top the ice with small ornaments, foil confetti and plastic snowflakes. Fill with water until the pan is 2/3 full. Freeze solid. Right before the reception place clear glass bowls filled with water on each table. Float the ice wreath in the bowl.
Crisp white lilies make elegant centerpieces. Coat an inexpensive vase in plain white glue. Coat thoroughly in silver and light blue glitter. Let dry then shake off the excess glitter. Tie a blue ribbon around one end of a small pine cone then tie the ribbon around the neck of the vase. Display the lilies in the vase.

About Floating Candle Centerpieces
Creating a centerpiece for an intimate table setting, matching centerpieces for a long table, or even several of them? Floating candle centerpieces are versatile, inexpensive and provide romance and ambience. Although they are often just simple combinations of a glass or bowl, some marbles or rocks, water and a floating candle, floating candle centerpieces can be elaborate as well.
Reflecting Light
Candlelight has long been the most desirable and decorative addition to a dinner table. But when you add to that shimmering water, sparkling glass and perhaps even flower blossoms, you have created extra beauty. When designing your floating candle centerpiece, consider how the light will be enhanced by sparkle and reflection. Use a glass or crystal bowl placed on a small mirror to add to the elegance.
Adding Depth
Water pearls from Surroundings, 2 ounces, $13
Crystals, small glass prisms, translucent rocks and even marbles can add depth to your floating candle centerpiece. Cover the bottom of your bowl or glass with sparkling rocks that are either clear or colored. Don't use opaque rocks. You want them to have transparency and to shimmer through the water in which your candle floats. Surroundings.com makes "water pearls" that actually plump up when you add water to your centerpiece. See Resources below.
Choosing Candles
The hearts and roses kit from Surroundings
Floating candles come in all shapes and sizes. If you're making a large centerpiece, find several identical or similar candles that carry out your color or holiday theme. Use one dominant floating candle for a tall, slender candle holder. Consider the season and purpose of your centerpiece, too. At Christmas, use white star-shaped candles; on Valentine's Day, use red heart-shaped candles. In the spring, you can alternate flower and butterfly floating candles in assorted colors. For summer, pastel seashell candles will set the mood.
Choosing Holders
You probably already own items that will serve as holders in your floating candle centerpiece. Large brandy snifters filled with rocks and water, plus one dominant candle, look beautiful. Votive candle holders placed on a mirror surrounding a dominant floating candle holder are lovely. Martini glasses and wine glasses, when filled with crystals and water and floating candles, make a dazzling display. Any clear glass container you have can be the foundation for a centerpiece. For example, fill a glass vase with rocks and water and then float candles on top.
Adding Flowers
A floral centerpiece can be very expensive and soon start to wither and fade. Instead, use just a few flowers to enhance your floating candle centerpiece. Buy one or two roses and sprinkle the petals around the base of the centerpiece on top of a mirror. Any flower with a nice full blossom, such as a rose, chrysanthemum or carnation, can be taken off the stem and floated in the water between your floating candles. You can also buy bags of artificial rose petals at the craft store to scatter around your centerpiece.
Where to Find Elements for Your Centerpiece
8 inches tall with a 4-inch mirror, this mini-kit is very inexpensive.
Floating candles are available online, as well as at drugstores, gift shops and even dollar stores. In fact, whenever you see an inexpensive set of floating candles, buy them to save for your next centerpiece. Craft stores have a variety of floating candles, plus crystals, sparkling rocks and water gems. While you're at the craft store, find the mirror assortment. You can often find round, square, oval and even diamond-shaped mirrors in assorted sizes. Those are perfect for placing under your floating candle arrangements to reflect all the sparkle and flickering light. The Surroundings.com website has floating candle centerpiece kits for every occasion and theme, including inexpensive mini-centerpiece kits. Depending on what you have at home, you will probably save money and have more creative fun making your own.
