For the eco-friendly, more garden friendly look, why not go for this simple yet elegant design! The materials can come from your very own garden or can be purchased rather inexpensively at a reputable garden center. Candles add to the warm glow effect.

Alternatives to Floral Centerpieces

While traditional centerpieces are usually floral designs, some brides are adamant that they want an alternative. I have worked with brides who hate the idea of having flowers and have created unique ways to go against the norm. Here are some alternatives I have found at yourweddingcompany.com to show you that you can have a stunning arrangement sans flowers.

Fruits are Perfect as Centerpieces for Autumn Weddings

I think I should begin my series of centerpiece discussions with the idea of using fruits as centerpieces. With the Fall season in its full swing, fruits are the perfect way to add pizzaz to your wedding decor.....either as centerpieces or throughout your ceremony and reception, as well as serve as a great way to save of your wedding expenses. Moreover, they are fantastic as little treats throughout the reception or can double as favors for your guests. Think about it, would you rather spend thousands on flowers only for them to be tossed after or use edible treats that your guests can enjoy, as well as show that you are environmentally savvy? One great find I have came upon and used on a few occasions is arrangements that can be used as centerpieces by Edible Arrangements (ediblearrangements.com), and they have always been a crowd pleaser!.

Another way to use fruits is simply inserting them in glass vases and just letting them shine. Do-it-yourself-weddings.com have got some fantastic ideas that I have found interesting, and that a DIY bride would love!!
