If you're looking for wedding centerpiece ideas, using seasonal food, fruit and colors is a great idea for saving money and helping you to stick to a theme.
Using edibles and flowers that are in season will save you money rather than going for expensive imported flowers. If you're stuck for ideas, just look around you for inspiration!
Winter
If you're planning a wedding during the holiday season, you'll find that metallics like silver and gold and brisk colors like bright red and holly green are ideal.
You'll find that using holly and ivy for a backdrop and then using red and white flowers to offset them can work beautifully. Use metallic gold and silver ribbons can add some lovely accents to the whole.
The possibilities are endless and there are some real bargains to be had if you buy seasonal.
Autumn
When the vegetables and fruits start ripening, fall explodes into amazing red, orange and yellow!
Instead of flowers, think about the fact that fall represents the harvest. Gourds, pomegranates and sheaves of wheat can help you adorn the table and you may even find that using pumpkin vases can be something that appeals to you.
Also, consider using black and steel gray candles to good effect amongst this bright explosion of color, to make the vegetables stand out even more!
We even added a small amount of black grass which complemented the rest of the centerpiece and hinted at Halloween but were not too over powering and gothic.
Your wedding centerpiece ideas can have a great deal to do with the colors of autumn, so why not look into the oranges and reds that are available?
Putting in the effort to match the season can make a huge difference, so consider what your wedding centerpiece might look like.
Summer
Summer weddings can be really bright and fun, with a huge range of colors and flowers to choose from which will be easy and cheap to buy, particularly in larger quantities.
Sunflowers, gladioli, irises and roses are some of the most common ones, but that does not make them less striking or beautiful.
If you're interested in smaller flowers for a country wedding, why not take a look at decorating with cornflowers and daisies, as well as with sweet smelling grass? Consider putting these flowers into the bridesmaids' hair.
Try using summer fruits like pineapples, mangoes, even coconuts, which can be displayed whole or sliced and arranged decoratively. They'll smell delicious and can even be eaten if the guests get peckish between courses!
When you're looking for seasonal wedding centerpiece ideas, there are plenty of themes to choose from. Remember: a great centerpiece idea does not have to be an expensive one!
