Nashville Wedding Venues

The wedding table centerpiece plays a very important part in a beautifully-decorated Nashville wedding reception. Your guests will most likely spend a lot of time seated at the table during the wedding reception, so this is where the time, money and energy you spent on decorating will really pay off. Here are some factors that you should consider when planning your wedding table centerpieces to get the full benefits of this part of your wedding.

Your Nashville Wedding Theme

Your wedding theme may simply be a color scheme, or an idea or motive behind your wedding reception design and decorating choices. Using key elements from your wedding theme and incorporating them into your centrepiece design will help your wedding appear consistent and all the details unified.

The Size Of Your Tables

Before choosing a design for the centrepiece, determine how much space your guests need and how much space you have available. A table that is full will look attractive and welcoming. Just make sure that everything on the table go seamlessly with each other. If you have large tables, you may want to add additional accents to your basic centrepiece design such as small colourful stones, cut-out shapes, votive candles around the centrepiece or pearls. Placing a piece of fabric under the main centrepiece can help a table look less empty.

Does The Centrepiece Enhance The Guests’ Experience, Or Detract From It?

At one wedding, the first thing a guest did when he arrived at the table was to remove and set aside the centrepiece so he didn’t have to crane his neck to see and talk to his friends across the table. When designing a centrepiece, make sure that most of the flowers or other decorative pieces do not block the seated guests’ line of vision.

To maximize your centrepieces, make sure that they can be enjoyed even after they’ve decorated the wedding reception. If you have smaller centrepieces, you can choose to give them to guests to take home, particularly guests who played a big role in the wedding ceremony such as the mother-of-the-bride, a bridesmaid, and the mother-of-the-groom.

Make sure that you tell them you’re going to be giving them the centrepiece to take home, especially if the centerpiece is large. Alternatively, you could use your wedding reception centerpiece as your bonbonniere. You can use boxes wrapped in pretty paper as your centrepiece, or you can place your flowers in smaller containers so they’d be easier to take home. You can also use a display of wedding cupcakes as your wedding centerpiece. At the end of the reception, your guests don’t have to worry about taking them home. They can just eat them!

As with many things, if you are using the services of a Nashville wedding planner, or experienced staff at a wedding venue in Nashville, then you can get many more ideas.
