Box Centerpieces

Wooden Box Centerpiece

When it comes to your receptions thinking outside of the box may actually mean choosing a box centerpiece for your reception tables. For big square tables you really do need to have an over-sized centerpiece to make a statement – without it being so tall that you can’t see the person sitting across the table from you. The above box centerpiece was truly amazing in real life, it was whether resistant and simply worked fabulously for a tropical outdoor event. A custom box centerpiece can be designed to suit your wedding colors/theme. First Class Weddings preferred vendor on this one is Mandy Grace from Bella Grace Flowers. Great job Mandy!

Choose Flowers with Large Blooms – Hydrangea and peonies are a perfect example

Select Flowers in Season – Flowers that are readily available cost less

Be Original with unique Wedding Ideas

Worried that your wedding is going to look like someone elses? Think again! Here are five easy wedding ideas that can set you apart from others.

Add a Little Color

With all the colors of the rainbow to choose from why not use your favorites to create an individual style for your wedding. For example; colored chair sashes with matching table linens provide originality and excitement.

Lighting

Custom lighting can flawlessly blend into your ceremony and reception. Choose from colored up-lights, twinkle lights, crystal Chandeliers, spot lights, candle lights, submersible lights, torches and more. Lighting always sets the mood so choose something spectacular and you wont regret it.

Special Entertainment

Provide music authentic to the location in which you are getting married. For example: A Polynesian trio with a hula dancer would be a specific type of entertainment unique to Hawaii. Hiring a celebrity to play for a few hours is another way to make your wedding stand out while grooving to the music.

Centerpieces

These don’t always have to be made with flowers. take your location under consideration when choosing your centerpieces. Custom weedding ideas allow you can customize your centerpieces with taper candles, lamps, picture frames, sculptures, hanging displays or anything your heart desires. Your guests will be looking at your masterpieces throughout the evening so make them extraordinary.

Start a trend

Trends are great to start and when you get your guests involved it’s even better. Create a way to capture your loved ones wishes and then display them during your ceremony or reception. For example; if you are setting up an arch for your outdoor ceremony you might want to have a table set-up with a display of ribbons attached to a flower pick. Guests take a flower pick and write a special wish for the bride & groom and then stick it in the arch to flutter in the breeze while the couple says “I do”.

These are only a few wedding ideas without breaking the bank or doing what everyone else has done.
