One of the most crucial parts to a wedding is the design! The design creates the atmosphere of the wedding. One challenging part is keeping the design in the ceremony and reception cohesive, especially the centerpieces. This week, we wanted to share a few tips for designing your wedding centerpiece!

Color Palette
Pick a color palette for your wedding and try to stick with it. This will simplify your wedding design process. You will know what colors to us for your decor, bridesmaids dresses, wedding favors, florals, and your reception centerpieces. If you deviate from the colors in your centerpiece, make sure you choose a color that compliments your color pallette and does not compete with it.

Include Table Numbers
Every table at a wedding should have a number. Make sure to include this number as a part of your centerpiece. Sometimes couples will design their tables only to find out the table numbers clashes. Including the number early on will avoid it competing with the rest of the table and will give your reception tables the look you want.

Greenery
One trend that has grown increasingly popular is having mainly greenery on reception tables. We love this natural look! However, this design can look like it belongs in fall or winter season. One way to give it a fresh feel for spring is by adding white candles. These can be large or small depending on the size and shape of your tables. A few other items that can change the feel of your tables are lanterns and vases. Adding a mix of candles, lanterns, and vases can add a fun dynamic to your tables.

White Florals with a Pop of Pastel
​The exclusive use of white florals is another trend that we think is beautiful! Adding a pop of color will add another level to your decor. Opt for a pastel color. This gives your reception a light spring feel and allows you to get creative with your tableware/cutlery. Using different metals and textures on the table will give it an eclectic look. If you are having a rustic wedding, opt for a wood vase. For a classic wedding, place your white flowers in a metal vase or try mercury glass for a unique touch.

Silver, Gold, or Rose Gold
When designing a wedding, you will typically include silver, gold or rose gold. One great way to tie your wedding decor together is by choosing one of these metals and sticking with it. To get a cohesive look, repeat the same color in the centerpiece that you use in the rest of the decor.
