Ideas For Autumn Wedding Centerpieces

An integral step in wedding decorating is deciding on a theme for your centerpiece. Whether you want something classic or more trendy, when it comes to Autumn wedding centerpieces, inspirations abound, particularly in nature.

Most traditional wedding centerpieces feature a prominent floral arrangement. There are a number of floral choices that have become popular in Autumn weddings. Perhaps the most common is the mini-calla lily, which comes in an array of colors including white, gold, burgundy, orange, and deep purple. The rose is another classic choice available in a broad range of hues. When combined with other elements like branches, berries, seed pods and vines, it is easy to create a unique and striking floral centerpiece.

Another popular choice for the fall wedding centerpiece is the floating candle arrangement. When selecting candles for a centerpiece, it is important to consider both the color and scent. Rich hues such as orange and burgundy provide a visual unity between the decorations and natural settings. Scents such as cinnamon, pumpkin, apple and clove help set the mood without being overbearing.

The local craft store can help provide ideas as well as materials such as silk flowers, candles, glass bowls, beads and ribbon. When it comes to wedding centerpieces in autumn, the Farmer’s Market can be just as influential. There, you can find bushels of apples, which can be used as cardholders, cut into floating candle holders, or simply used to accent a pre-existing arrangement. Small gourds can be carved with the monogrammed initials of the bride and groom.

The most important thing when it comes to creating an Autumn wedding centerpiece is that you make it your own. Incorporate photographs of the bride and groom. Scatter leaves from your backyard. This is your wedding, and the centerpieces should be reflective of you and your tastes.
