Are you someone who is looking for some great wedding centerpiece ideas? Why not use things like seasonal fruits, colors and foods to get you started!

Using edibles and flowers that are in season will save you money rather than going for expensive imported flowers. If you’re stuck for ideas, just look around you for inspiration!

Christmas

A Christmas wedding has all kinds of associations you can make use of including colors: red, green, white, silver and gold for instance.

You’ll find that using holly and ivy for a backdrop and then using red and white flowers to offset them can work beautifully. Use metallic gold and silver ribbons can add some lovely accents to the whole.

There are many different possibilities open when designing for the winter months.

Fall

When the vegetables and fruits start ripening, fall explodes into amazing red, orange and yellow!

Instead of flowers, think about the fact that fall represents the harvest. Gourds, pomegranates and sheaves of wheat can help you adorn the table and you may even find that using pumpkin vases can be something that appeals to you.

Here are 5 wedding centerpiece ideas worth considering:

1. Say it with flowers

Alternatively, go for the wow factor with Caribea or maybe Parakeet Heliconia.

Consider using pot plants as wedding centerpieces – they look great and can be taken home by guests afterwards as a memory of the day.

2. Edible Centerpieces
