We actually think that some of these ideas are so perfect for year-round display that you'll ultimately decide to skip the seasonal swaps entirely.

After all, when you find a design that you can keep on the table all year long, why would you trade it out? Most of these easy centerpieces can easily be made in one afternoon at home, and you might already have everything you need on hand.

And if you don't, a quick run to the crafts store, your favorite home improvement spot , or floral provider should have everything you need. You can create your own spectacular centerpieces with a little copper electrical tape and a vase or jar of your choice.

Pick up the tape from any home improvement store and wrap it around a vessel to create a vase or candle holder that is sure to catch the light and your eye. If you have a few near-empty cans of spray paint at home, this might be the perfect craft for you. All you need are glasses, a safe space for painting, and a little imagination. The neutral hues of leather-wrapped vases are the perfect complement to your favorite flowers. Stage a few in the center of your table, focus on just one larger vase, or line them up on an oversized charger plate depending on the look you're going for.

Tall, skinny vases work best for these designs. Choose a neutral glass like this one if you're opting for more colorful grasses.

Don't toss out your travel-sized bottles until after you've taken a look at this centerpiece. Use a variety of shapes and textures as molds to create a mix of candles to place on your table—we suggest setting them on charger plate to make for easier clean up if you decide to light them, or else letting them serve as more decorative rather than functional pieces by keeping them dark.

You don't need a whole lot of color to make a statement when the color you're using is a rich, verdant green. Pair sprigs of your favorite greenery with a natural vase to recreate the beauty of the great outdoors in the heart of your home. To recreate this look you'll need a few floral-inspired images to decoupage onto your favorite set of up-cycled bottles empty olive oil bottles work great. Paint the bottles different shades of the same color, place your design on them, and then coat the bottles in mod podge to seal them.

Since the florals are on the exterior, you can save space by not having to add any blooms to the jar. You may have remembered learning all about the pros-and-cons of different table shapes in your event and wedding planning courses. When designing centerpieces, consider the shape of the tables at the venue. Each shape will have its own considerations:. Using local, seasonal flowers in your centerpieces is easy on the budget.

And your blooms will be much fresher, too! Use centerpieces to tap into your creativity as an event decorator.

Ensure that you give the theme of the event ample consideration. Your clients may want to have their wedding party carve a pumpkin for each table ahead of time, giving everyone a chance to get involved. And when the reception runs into the night, tea lights inside the pumpkins give the space a warm, cozy glow! Choosing to use flowers is pretty standard practice. So how can you make the decor feel unique? Why not switch things up by using a creative vase? Your choice of flowers and table shapes will help determine the best vase style for your centerpiece.

Styles include column, barrel, orb, stem, rectangular, bottle and more! The classic material for a vase is glass, but you could opt for ceramic, mosaic, metal, wood or stone. Flex that creative muscle! One option would be to donate them to a hospital or nursing home. You can make an announcement at some point during the event or mention the specific nursing home in question on the program.

If the home or hospital has a special connection to the couple or their families, it can be a very sweet moment for all attendees. Another option would be to have the guests take home the centerpieces at the end of the night. There will not be enough centerpieces for each guest, couple or family. Designing centerpieces for any event takes careful planning and creative flair.
