The final touch to creating a memorable environment for bride and groom is flowers decorating the wedding reception tables. Three criteria are used to select the best wedding centerpieces: budget, style, and color.

Color

Choose the right colors for the centerpieces to match the overall wedding color scheme. They should be able to blend well with the flowers of the bridal party. If the flowers of the bridal party are predominantly pink, then the centerpiece flowers for the tables should be in pink. Consider the decor of the venue when choosing colors.

Style

Based on the type of wedding and reception venue, the style of centerpieces to be used should be determined. The theme of the wedding and the venue for the reception is usually determined by the type of wedding. There are many options: traditional and non-traditional, such as garden and beach weddings and formal churches. The theme of the wedding should dictate the style of your floral centerpieces. For a beach wedding, you might choose tropical flowers or calla lilies and roses for formal weddings.

Budget

The budget is perhaps the most important factor in choosing the right wedding centerpieces. The number of guests at the reception will have a significant impact on the cost of centerpieces. More people means more centerpieces and tables. The "do it yourself" option is the cheapest. It could cost around $15 per table for flowers (notice: there are other unreported costs).

The budget range for florist-provided flower centerpieces is wide, from $45 per table up to $250 per table. Larger weddings will result in a higher cost due to the availability of premium flowers and high-demand floral designers. It is not uncommon for wedding flowers budgets to exceed $5,000.

It is important to match your floral centerpieces with the wedding type, color scheme, and budget. This is best done by looking backwards. It is important to first identify your budget and then work with a professional florist or consultant. There are many options available when it comes choosing the perfect flower centerpieces for your wedding. A professional in the floral and wedding industries can help you make the right decisions.
