I have a confession…I love flowers at weddings. I love that they add a scent (our strongest sensory memory, by the way!) and color to the decor palate. I know that they only last a few days and they tend to be expensive, but I can’t help it. I think they are beautiful.

On the other hand, there are some non-floral centerpieces out there that I think are incredibly creative and chic. Some of these options are so romantic and beautiful they just might be enough to sway me in the “non- floral” direction.

This first one is all about setting a mood. It’s simple but still creates a unique touch with all the romantic candlelight.

The second is all about texture. This idea uses a stump and tapered candles wrapped in a variety of twine to create interest in a natural looking centerpiece (that isn’t made of flowers)!

The Southern girl in me can’t get over the next one…reminds me of driving through back roads in Alabama with my mom and seeing miles and miles of fluffy white cotton. It’s neutral and pretty, and it grows but isn’t a flower.

This last centerpiece idea would be a great DIY element. It’s creative, it’s quirky, and it’s just plain fun! This little gem was designed for an Ikea photoshoot.

I think the perfect mixture for me is going to be a mixture of floral and non-floral.

Anyone else plan anything creative and “non-floral” for their centerpieces?
