Elevate Your Wedding with Vintage Wedding Centerpieces

There’s something very charming and romantic about vintage items. These pieces hold stories of the past that touch the heart and make imaginations wander. If you’re looking for a way to elevate your wedding décor and turn up the romance, adding some vintage centerpieces to the tables will certainly do the trick. You can be super creative with these and there are many different options to choose from.

Whether you’re having a rustic outdoor wedding, a vintage wedding or even a modern wedding, adding vintage centerpieces to the table décor is a surefire way to inject some charm into the ceremony as well. Read on to learn about some of the most essential elements you can use to create your own whimsical and romantic vintage centerpieces.

Flowers

Flowers are as much of an essential part of the ceremony’s décor as wedding dresses are to the bride. You can never really have too many flowers when decorating for a wedding. For vintage centerpieces, it’s best to use flowers in soft colors and muted tones like cream, white, soft purple and pink, and pastel yellow. Add little pops of color that match the surrounding décor and incorporate some greenery into each piece.

Natural Elements

Elevate the charm of a vintage centerpiece by incorporating natural elements like wood or stones. Set the flowers atop a round wooden slab, use pebbles as fillers in small glass items or carefully place some smooth, round- and oblong-shaped stones around the other decorative elements of the centerpiece.

Candles and Candle Holders

Nothing says vintage romance quite like the right candles in the perfect candle holders. Depending on your wedding’s aesthetic and your own personal taste, you can use tall candelabras, thick pillar candles on vintage-style stands or lots of smaller holders with tea light candles.

Creative Elements

Have fun using various creative elements to put a unique and personal touch on each centerpiece you create. Incorporate items like mirrors, photo frames, pearls, books, bird cages and trays. Mirrors can be used like trays and really work well when they have a classic decorative frame. Stack a few old books on top of one another and set your flowers on top. Fill some round vintage bird cages with flower arrangements and hang them from the ceiling. Use vintage photo frames for each table number. Drape pearls and other decorative vintage elements around the centerpiece for a final touch.

Colors like brass, gunmetal, dull gold and cream are ideal palettes for a vintage theme. If you want to add pops of color, stick with royal shades like navy blue, plum, burgundy and emerald green.

Add a Personal Touch

When you’re putting your centerpieces together, consider adding a very special touch by choosing from special vintage wedding dresses to blend with the décor and incorporating vintage items that belong to your family into the centerpieces. Talk to relatives and see what kinds of special things you can gather. This will help put a unique and personal touch on each piece.

Ideas for memorable wedding table centrepieces

Deciding on the centrepiece for your wedding can be daunting as it is such an important decision. The centrepiece should be central to your theme, and it should also be a reflection of your personality, and so you would not want something cliche or anything too bold.

There are many huge decisions to make when it comes to planning a wedding, but one of the most important is to decide the type of table centrepieces to use. The centrepiece is used to establish the theme of the reception room, to add decoration and also to reflect your personality. It is often the first thing that people notice when they enter the wedding reception room, so it is important that you have something memorable. Although they should be noticeable, they should not be too large as your guests will still need to eat comfortably and be able to see the table.

Here are a few options you can consider:

Wildflower Centrepiece

It is hard to go wrong with an arrangement of flowers as this injects colour and life. For something bold and unique, consider a beautiful arrangement of wildflowers right in the centre of the table.

Flower Chandelier

If you are sitting outside, you might want to consider having a flower chandelier to act as a centrepiece. Not only does this look fantastic and creates an intimate setting, but it also opens up a lot more space on the table.

Floating Candles

Just fill large bowls with water and then place floating candles for unique wedding table centrepieces. If you have enough space, you could also put few flowers in the water to add elegance.

Crystal Trees

Visually very impressive and ideal for modern themed weddings, a crystal tree in the centre is a simple yet elegant option. You could take this further and decorate the tree with various items or have a top plate with a bouquet on top.

Ornamental Bird Cages

Ornamental bird cages can be lovely items to look at, and there are many different types to consider, so you should be able to find one that is in tune with your theme. You could also place items inside the bird cage, like a candle or anything else.

Lanterns

Lanterns can serve as both a decorative item and light for the table, making them a valuable centrepiece to consider. There are decorative lamps available for purchase, or you could opt for a more traditional one with a candle inside.

Vases

Vases can come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Use a stylish vase as a centrepiece and then fill it with flowers, lights, rose petals, scatter crystals, floating stones or colourful fine sandstones.

The wedding centrepiece should be memorable, stylish and a reflection of your identity. It should also play a vital role in your decorative theme, so it is important to find the perfect item for your wedding.
