The first thing every bride begins to do is envision how different they want their wedding to be from all the ones they have attended before. Which is kind of our mantra, we cheer for the distinctive differences that are not cookie cutter designs you see at every wedding you have ever attended. Don’t get me wrong, some traditional centerpieces have been some of the most amazing designs I’ve encountered but different is ALWAYS good. Bottom line is they want the “dazzling” factor that will stay in guests' minds when the wedding is all over. So to achieve this look they are stepping out of the box and creating a fabulous non-traditional look.
The other big thing happening today is many couples are the ones who are carrying the cost burden surrounding their big day. So the goal is to get the look they want without going for broke. Makes sense right?
A big expense is usually flowers at the wedding and centerpieces are one area that usually requires a LOT of flowers. Instead, brides are looking at ways to stretch their dollars by using something other than flowers or they are cutting the number of flowers needed by using their imagination to creatively display a minimal number of them. I have done my research and the pictures below are definitely the exception to the rule when it comes to your usual wedding centerpieces. They all can be recreated by the DIY bride and have left me thinking about what I can expect to see at the next wedding…

Think about all the different goblets you could use to create this effect and how inexpensive it would be with just a single flower and votive to top it off.

Pearls in water with a floating candle are simple and classic.
Candy for centerpieces? Absolutely! Wouldn't it go fabulous with a candy buffet at the reception to tie it all in together? Heck, I know brides that love candy so much they carried a candy bouquet down the aisle rather than flowers!

Ah simplicity at its finest. Gather square vases of various sizes and flip them upside down with citrus fruits inside. Pair that with some square white candles climbing opposite heights.
So many great ideas that you can use or maybe your creative juices are now flowing. What do you think? What are you doing different for your centerpieces? We would love to hear about it.
