Wedding Reception Centerpieces

Creating your own wedding reception centerpieces can be a lot less expensive than getting them professionally done. It can actually also be quite easy to do yourself (or even have friends to help). And since your would be making these yourself, you could give them to your guests to take home possibly as prizes if you plan to have any games during your reception.

I am going to show you a quick and easy way to make a silk floral arrangement that

you can use for your own wedding reception.

I have done this type of centerpiece for my own wedding reception as well as for my grandparents' anniversary celebration.

Here is a quick step-by-step guide. You can click on each photo to enlarge.

First you need a decorative floral container. This one is plastic but looks very nice.

Then you'll need a Styrofoam ball that fits snuggly into the container. You can use glue to keep it in place.

Here I have chosen three silk flowers. The first has a tinge of pink on the petals. The second one has more open petals. The third is like the first flower but completely white. You can choose to use flowers that compliment your color scheme and linens.

Start with one flower at a time and place the flowers in the Styrofoam equally. Then add the second flower and fill in the ball a little more.

Use the third flower to fill in all of the bald spots. Try to push the flowers in so that they create a dome.

This centerpiece only cost me about $7-$8 and 5 minutes to make. You should look online and on our supplies page for places that sell discount floral supplies for your wedding centerpieces.
