Fun wedding centrepiece ideas
Your centrepieces are one of the areas where you can get truly creative with your wedding. Instead of just going for cut flowers, why not choose a fun wedding centrepiece that really reflects your chosen theme? Here are some of our favourite ideas…
Oranges
Colourful fruit makes for a fantastic alternative centrepiece. Depending on your budget, theme and what’s in season, you could use apples, cherries or lemons, but we love this bright centrepiece made of oranges. Fruit also makes great place name holders too!

Scrabble
If you and your h2b love board games, why not use them in your centrepieces to add a personal touch? Games like Scrabble can lend a bit of colour and interest to a plain tablecloth, and the letter tiles can be used to spell out the table number or your guests’ names.

Books
If you want a last-minute way to make your table centres more unique, then books are a great way to make them a little more personal – especially if you’re a couple who loves to read. Add vintage books in your wedding colours, or books that meant a lot to you as children.

Cutout paper
For a crafty take on the book centrepiece, you can add a little paper art to the mix by creating table numbers, initials or hearts with cutout pages. There are plenty of online tutorials that can help you to do this, and your guests are sure to be impressed by your DIY skills!

Lavender
Flowers don’t always have to be in vases! Potted plants are an eco-friendly alternative to cut flowers, and your guests can easily take them home. Moss, narcissi and hyacinths are all pretty options, but we love the look and scent of potted lavender as a table centre.

Sand
Having a beach wedding? Sand can make a real impact in wedding centrepieces. Fill some glass hurricane vases in varying sizes, and just add candles, shells and a couple of large blooms such as peonies.

Tree branches
Tree branches are having a real moment in wedding décor – they work well in any season, and look great on their own or with added decoration. We love the look of stripped branches decorated with hanging candles, moss and a couple of well-placed flowers.

Bottles
Love the romantic look of bottle candle holders? Then use them in your wedding centrepieces! You can use dark glass and melted candle wax for an atmospheric winter centrepiece, or use light, multi-coloured bottles for a more colourful take on the trend. You could even DIY some glitter bottles and use candles in your wedding colours.

Pinwheels
Pinwheels make for a cute and colourful wedding centrepiece and are easily made at home. The best thing about pinwheels is they can be made in any paper of your choice, so they’ll always match your wedding theme. Why not use excerpts from your favourite book, or map paper showing where you and your h2b met?
