Summer Wedding Centerpiece IdeasWeddings at different times of the year have their own decor and style. A summer wedding will be different from an autumn wedding and a winter wedding will be different from a spring wedding. The weather and the seasonal flavor have a major influence on weddings. During summers we notice chiffon or crepe dresses for the bride and the bright orange roses in the vase. The centerpieces are also designed keeping in mind the summer theme. Let us see some great summer wedding centerpiece ideas. The options for creating homemade centerpieces are many during the season. It can be anything from elegant lilies to herb baskets or a vase with flowers and foliage of the season. Creating a nice centerpiece with calla lilies does not take much. Fresh lilies are arranged in smaller bunches of three and nicely tied with satin ribbon. They are placed in a long vase with a narrow stem to create an elegant centerpiece. I also love the idea of bouquets as centerpieces. However these will necessarily not be the large bouquets that we gift someone. A small bouquet with a nice satin ribbon design and placed on a decorated wooden basket can also make a great centerpiece. Centerpieces without flowers are also being used nowadays. The romantic light created by the candles can create a soothing atmosphere around the table. Fragrance candles placed on a wide mirrored glass base can be used as a table piece. There can be many other ideas apart from flowers if it is planned well in advance. An arrangement of tropical fruits such as star fruits, pomegranates and melons which are cut in well shaped designs can be great wedding centerpieces. During the reception the guests can be served some of the fruits on the table. Mix and match flower arrangements can also look nice. A simple glass with colored water and a couple of long stemmed lilies can look good as a centerpiece item. Centerpieces, decor, food and favors are an accepted way of entertaining the guests during the wedding reception. Favors can include anything from a cookbook to showpieces or even chocolates. It is important to shower the guests with gifts for attending the party. There are few important tips for creating the centerpieces that I want to share with you. First, the flowers that are used for the centerpieces should be cut atleast an inch from the stem. This will help them to absorb water and keep them fresh for few days. Using scissors and gloves is important. I am sure you would not like to see a strap on your finger on the wedding day. A few days before the wedding, try to place the centerpiece on the table and do a mock-up. This will allow to fine tune of any missing aspect of the centerpiece. Planning in advnce does help. There are many summer wedding centerpiece ideas which can go well for the wedding. It depends upon individual preferences of which ones we want to use. The centerpiece should be in synergy with the overall decor of the marriage. |
