Looking for some unusual wedding centerpieces, miles away from the traditional robust flower arrangements in the middle of the table? If you want to think outside the box, you’re going to have to dig for ideas and be as creative as possible. Unique wedding centerpieces are neither traditional or easy to find, so you’ll likely end up creating these decorations on your own. However, though incorporating unique ideas into a wedding decorating scheme may be a bit of a challenge, once you get started, you’ll find the work to be rewarding.

If you’re feeling incredibly uncreative, though, you might change your mind and fall right back into the flower arrangements. Here are some unique ideas for wedding centerpieces to get you started:

The season in which the wedding will be held is a good place to start for determining centerpieces. If you’re wedding is at Christmas time, you’ve got a bounty of decorating ideas right at your fingertips. Use gingerbread houses, Christmas village pieces, baskets of Christmas ornaments, festive cookie tins, garlands, gift boxes, nutcrackers, nativity scenes, Christmas baking supplies, or mini Christmas trees as centerpieces.

For autumn weddings, create arrangements out of leaves and other fall foliage, combine several autumn vegetables in a basket, place large pumpkins right on the table, or stack fresh red and green apples in little pails. Candles create a beautiful ambiance when placed alongside the deep, rich colors of fall.

Spring calls for bright paper flowers, Easter eggs, oranges or lemons in baskets, anything pink and green, or tiers of brightly colored treats. Summer continues with the bright themes, but you can also incorporate other details such as flip flops, seashells, beach towels, fruit, or leis.

For couples who like to travel, cardboard replicas of the Eiffel Tower or Big Ben might be the perfect addition to a reception table. Tickets, small suitcases, packing lists, cameras, or photo books are also great additions. Athletic couples could have a pail of baseballs or tennis balls or trendy aluminum water bottles as centerpieces. Coffee-loving couples would enjoy having centerpieces created from favorite coffee mugs or coffee tins.

For those hoping to have unique wedding centerpieces, try to decide upon a wedding theme. Having a theme will give you a foundation from which to brainstorm. Once you have a theme, you can think about all of the items that are part of theme and create centerpieces from there. Don’t be afraid to sift through pictures and other people’s unique ideas. Maybe you’ll fall in love with something or be inspired to try something on your own!
