Wedding Centerpiece Ideas | Unique Wedding Centerpieces

Flowers play an integral part in any wedding ceremony. More than just a decoration though, wedding flowers have now become a tradition. In fact, can you even remember the last time that you went to a wedding at which there was not any flowers?

They are a symbol of new hope and a bright future. Done right, they create a heaven like environment, and intensify the feelings of joy being experienced by the bride.

So, what are the steps that need to be taken to ensure that flowers used at a wedding are perfect for the occasion?

1) The Selection Of The Flowers

In picking what flowers to choose, keep in mind the theme and the color premise of the wedding. The flowers should complement the other aspects of the wedding, not distract from them, and so a good idea is to match and blend the flowers with color and style of the brides dress. The types of flowers you choose are also important, so do not just focus on the color. Do a little research and find out what flowers are in season at the time of the wedding. By being knowledgeable about this, you can get the freshest looking flowers at the best possible price.

2) Additional Materials

You will need more than just the flowers themselves. Good scissors, florist tape and ribbons will also be required in order to turn a standard bunch of flowers into a bouquet of flowers that is fit for the bride to carry down the aisle. Consider buying, or renting from a library, some books on the topic too, so that you can learn some little tricks and tips.

3) Creation Of The Bouquets

This is one of the many various ways that you take your flowers and arrange them into a beautiful bouquet. Select three flowers, of the same type, that you particularly like, and that you want to make the centerpiece of the bouquet. Arrange these three flowers into the shape of a triangle, with each one being at a slightly different height to the other two. Continue adding up two to three flowers at a time until they form a dome. After which, you can tie them up with a florist tape at least 8 inches below the flowers. Be sure to ask for some help taping the stem; you might have a difficulty holding all 36 flowers and tying them together at the same time.

4) Finishing Touches

Finally, finish the arrangement with suitable ribbons that match the color of the flowers and the wedding dress. You can tie them up in a bow. Be sure to cover all the florist tape with ribbons. Then carefully cut the excess stems and ensure that they are all even in length. Place the bouquet on a plastic container or a vase with a quarter inch of water or you can store them inside a fridge covered by a loose plastic bag. Finally, spray the flowers with water avoiding the ribbons.
