5 table centrepiece ideas for weddings which aren’t flowers

Weddings are always an exciting event that involves creative decoration ideas. One of the elements of a great wedding reception is the table centrepiece. While flowers are the traditional choice for centrepieces, it's not the only option. 

Here are five unique centrepiece ideas that don't require the use of flowers:

1. Candles as wedding table centrepeices

Candles are an elegant and timeless centrepiece option that can also create a romantic ambiance. Consider grouping candlesticks of different heights together or placing a few pillar candles in varying sizes in the middle of the table. You can also get creative with the candleholders, opting for interesting and unique shapes or colours to match the overall wedding décor.

2. Wedding centerpiece ideas - books

For a book lover, the idea of having books as centrepieces on their special day can be very appealing. You can stack antique books in different sizes and tie them up with a ribbon matching your wedding theme or use them as a base for other decorative elements like vases or succulents.

5. Having succulent plants as wedding centerpieces for your table

Succulent plants are a low-maintenance but chic choice, making them an excellent option for couples who want a unique centrepiece that doesn't require too much attention. You can use large succulent plants as individual centrepieces on each table, or group few small succulent pots in a geometric shape, creating a centrepiece that guests can take home as a favour.
