Here are some of our favorite DIY centerpiece options.
Thinking about the centerpieces for your wedding reception can be super fun, but slightly overwhelming because there are so many options. If you’re looking to make your own centerpieces, then you’ve come to the right place! Let’s go over some of the benefits of making your centerpieces yourself and then go over some of our favorite centerpiece ideas that you can make at home.
The Benefits of DIY
There are so many reasons why it makes sense to make your own centerpieces for your big day. There are a few different benefits you can get from this including:
Budget: If you have a tight budget, then it might make sense for you to make your centerpieces yourself. This can be a great way to save some money while still getting a great result.
Control: Making your own centerpieces means that you’ll have a high level of control. If you’ve been shopping for centerpieces but haven’t been able to find exactly what you’re looking for, then it may be time for you to make them yourself.
Continuity: One of the biggest benefits of making your own centerpieces is that you can make sure they match the rest of your decor. This is an especially great option if you have a unique color scheme or theme.
DIY Centerpiece Ideas
Now that we’ve gone over some of the biggest benefits of making your own centerpieces, it’s time to go over some of our favorite DIY ideas.
Florals in a Box
If you’re looking for a way to incorporate more florals into your wedding day, then finding cute boxes could be the perfect way to showcase some flowers. Consider painting the boxes so that they make sense for the rest of your theme.
Candles
Incorporating candles into your centerpieces is a great way to bring some light to your reception and add a romantic feel. Before you incorporate candles, make sure that you reach out to the venue and make sure that they’re okay with candles.
Wood Rounds
We love when couples use wood rounds for their centerpieces because there are so many different options. You could put vases with flowers on the wood rounds or papers that explain your love story. Consider taking a moment to think about all the possibilities wood rounds could provide. Plus, did we mentioned that this is such an easy option?!
Watermelons
This one may be unique, but hollowing out watermelons and putting flowers in them can be a great option for a summer wedding. If you do go with this plan, you’ll want to make sure that you leave enough time for the preparation or find someone who can take care of that for you.
Cacti
Cacti are a great way to bring a desert vibe to your wedding, so consider if this could be the right option for your DIY centerpieces. You could tie some ribbon around the cacti or leave them alone for a rustic feel.
