Spring weddings usually breathe with freshness and show off pastels, and the centerpieces often match these ideas: neutral and pastel blooms, lots of greenery and simple vases are right what you need to create one. Add touches of the style you’ve chosen and voila! Now let’s have a look at some amazing ideas.
Floral Centerpieces
The most popular idea for any wedding centerpiece is a floral one, and spring weddings are no exception. Make gorgeous floral centerpieces yourself using the blooms that you’ve chosen for the wedding decor. Lavender, white and blush roses and ranunculus, baby’s breath, anemones and other blooms are welcome, just make sure that they fit your wedding decor. If you want to embrace the season, try spring blooms: tulips, cherry blossom, lilac and other flowers that are in blossom right now. Add greenery for a fresher and more textural look, and voila! As for vases, opt for sheer glass ones to accent the flowers, or try mercury glass for a dreamy look. One more idea to make a statement is to use an interesting item as a vase – a large faceted terrarium, a gold mason jar, a bucket or a birdcage – whatever fits and highlights your style is great. Now add little touches for the same purpose: wood slice table numbers, cloches with LEDs, candles and so on.
