Five On-Trend Centerpieces
Centerpieces are one of the primary focal points of your wedding decor. In weddings past, stuffy, fussy floral arrangements reigned supreme, but these on-trend designs are a perfect opportunity to showcase your personal style.
1. The Rustic Romantic
Venue: Studio 450
Photographer: Carly Michelle
Flowers: Pink esther roses, seeded eucalyptus, white stock, lavender dahlia
These mid-height naturalistic arrangements are reminiscent of a walk through an enchanted forest. They accent the table without overwhelming the decor, and work well with simple color schemes.
2. The Pop Princess
Venue: Studio 450
Photographer: Photo Pink
Flowers: Purple Anemones
Though they be but little, these purple anemones are fiercely fashionable. A single, exotic bloom that matches (or offsets) a monochromatic color scheme is both an aesthetic asset and a conversation-starter for your guests.
3. The New Traditionalist
Venue: Current at Chelsea Piers
Photographer: Jana Williams
Planner: Leslie Short, K.I.M. Media LLC
Flowers: White Tibet Roses

This multi-level design puts a modern spin on the all-white tradition. White Tibet Roses and floating candles create an illusion that gives the entire space an ethereal feel.
4. The Fashionista
Venue: The Plaza Hotel
Photographer: Fred Marcus Photography
Flowers: Cream Mondial Roses, Quicksand Roses, Amnesia Roses

Ombré has been at the forefront of fashion in recent memory, and floral design is no exception. These high centerpieces use three distinct varieties of roses to create a chic gradient effect.
5. The Minimalist
Venue: Studio 450
Photographer: Weddings by Two
Flowers: Orange and Yellow Tulips

If you know you love tulips (or roses, or hydrangeas, or lilies..), why mess with a good thing? Keeping the flowers in your arsenal to a minimum doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice creativity. In fact, your florist might be inspired by the challenge of working with only one flower!
