Are you looking for a way to set your wedding apart from all the rest? Then try using fresh and unique design elements for your reception decorations. These are some great ideas for modern wedding centerpieces that are sure to make your wedding look amazing.
When you are looking for an update on the standard vase of flowers, the key is to think creatively. Your flowers do not have to be displayed in a plain glass vase; for that matter, you don't even have to use flowers as your central decoration. There are so many fun alternatives to consider. To avoid becoming overwhelmed by options, think about what the general tone of your wedding will be like, and then build from there.
For instance, if you were planning to host your reception in a grand ballroom, while wearing an elaborate ballgown and opulent bridal jewelry, you would want to design modern centerpieces that are equally luxurious and glamorous. On the other hand, if your dream wedding is more along the lines of a low-key afternoon affair, and you are planning to wear a tea length gown with very delicate handcrafted bridal jewelry, aim for centerpieces that are relaxed and incorporate interesting natural elements.
One of the hottest trends for wedding decor is to bring in lighting. This can be a terrific idea for fresh and modern centerpieces. Instead of floral arrangements, set up lamps on the reception tables (an especially great look on long rectangular tables). Use chic lamps with a touch of 1930s glam: heavy rectangular crystal bases with square silk dupioni lampshades in an ice blue or a deep espresso color. If you want to add a touch of whimsy, choose lampshades with beaded edges (the clean lines of the lamps keep the fringe from being too silly). A simplistic approach to the centerpieces calls for very special china, crystal and table linens to add depth to the table scape.
Another modern approach to wedding centerpieces is a mixture of items, rather than one main display. You can really have a lot of fun arranging groupings that are slightly varied from one table to the next. Incorporate elements that have visual interest and contrasting textures or colors. For instance, one idea would be to take an assortment of clear glass square vessels and fill them with items such as smooth river rocks, floating lotus blossoms, and simple ivory pillar candles.
If you like something bolder, the same approach can be used with several different flowers. Make small bouquets of the same kind of flower, and place them in several little vases on each table. Bright colors will add oomph. For example, you could have one group of orange ranunculus, another of lime green button poms, and a third vase filled with a tight cluster of yellow parrot tulips. The variations of color, scale, and texture will make the centerpieces have great impact. And of course, the bright colors are just so much fun!
A dramatic modern centerpiece for a winter wedding is a tall cluster of white birch branches, set into a tall vessel with uplighting inside. The projected light will make the branches come alive. This is a marvelous combination of simplicity and drama in a centerpiece.
From non-traditional vessels to frosted glass vases to submerged flowers, there are numerous possibilities for giving your centerpieces a fresh and modern look. For the most updated style, choose a design that is clean and sophisticated. The original modern centerpieces will be sure to make your reception look incredible.
