Often when one mentions a centerpiece, people first consider a wedding reception centerpiece. Of course such a reception needs a very memorable centerpiece. There are a plethora of things you could purchase that would look very nice, agreed, but there are times when the personal touch is best, such as when we make a memorable centerpiece.

Some brides want flowers of course, but the goal should be to use seasonal flowers as centerpieces, which are currently in season for that area. First that makes them less expensive, but more importantly they are easy to get, so that there is no interminable wait and the scary thought that they may not arrive in time.

Following flowers, you might instead consider an arrangement of fruit. Fresh fruit, such as apples, oranges and grapefruits give off a heavenly odor, and thus everyone wants to take home the centerpieces too, so that they can eat them!

Some have used vegetables to make the most amazing centerpieces you can imagine. For example white bows holding together an arrangement of green beans, artichokes, and asparagus actually makes an elegant and very memorable centerpiece.

Centerpieces that are made up of the couple while they were dating and engaged, always makes a stunning and very intimate centerpiece. There are plastic cubes sold especially to show 8 pictures each. With computers holding the majority of our pictures today, all you need do is to purchase photo paper and use your printer to make the centerpieces.

Dried flowers make lovely centerpieces, and there's no worries about them wilting or dropping petals all over the tables either. The best part is that these centerpieces can be made way ahead of time.

If the bride and groom have had a sunrise ceremony at the beach, then carry that beach theme into your centerpieces. For instance there are some very low cost sand castles available at $1 shops everywhere, as well as starfish and the like that will make a stunning centerpiece.

Available too at craft stores are white feathers. You'd be surprised how elegant feathers in tall vases can be when used as a centerpiece.

Another memorable centerpiece can be made with tea light candles arranged on glass blocks in the form of a wedding cake. You'll get a lot of ooh's and ahh's out of those.

Finally never discount the pure elegance of glass bowls filled with water, with various plants in them. However, in the center of each use tea light candles in them. The reflection of the fire on the water will be absolutely romantic.
