When you’re planning your wedding, sometimes you may be so overwhelmed with other priorities like the bride’s dress and bouquet, that you underestimate issues that could be both a hidden cost and a huge headache when not carefully planned. Wedding centerpieces are proof of this.
They can be quite costly and turn out disastrously if you don’t consider the pros and cons of having them tall or short. Each ceremony, according to its decorations and size of the tables, requires different centerpieces. So size and height do matter!
If you have hired a wedding planner, take the time to sit down with them and discuss what would work out best for you. As far as wedding centerpieces are concerned, they should be both a reflection of the bride and groom’s personalities, as well as an extension of the rest of the decorations. A good wedding planner should be able to assess your needs and come up with the perfect displays. In case you delegated this task to the venue’s staff because decoration is included in the package you purchased, make sure you are involved in the choice. Arrange a date and time to visit the venue and test the decor with the centerpieces included. Otherwise, you may get an unpleasant surprise on your big day.
If you decide to go with tall wedding centerpieces, think about the following. They can be very elegant and leave your guests breathless the minute they walk into the room. There’s a sense of class and style that goes with tall centerpieces. However, you need to make sure that their height does not block guests’ view of each other, of the head table, the dance floor or the cake table. It’s important that the lowest part of the centerpiece is tall enough to allow guests to see and talk to each other under it, without having to duck or move their chairs. Also make sure that the centerpieces’ bases are solid and grounded to the table, as tables can be shaken, moved or pushed by accident. If you have children attending the wedding, you should be extra careful with this because they like to touch and smell, and if the centerpiece is not properly firm, it could fall and hurt somebody.
As for short centerpieces, they can also be beautiful even though they are unlikely to cause that sense of awe in your guests. But since they can usually be decorated with more details than tall wedding centerpieces, they can still dazzle people as they sit down. Remember to keep the highest part of the centerpiece low enough so as not to block eye contact or conversations over it. Since the space that short centerpieces occupy at the table is larger than tall ones would, you may want to test setting the whole table to assess that the piece is not so big as to push plates and glasses too close to the edges of the table. Of course, the centerpiece should not be so small that you don’t even notice it when seating down. Find a middle ground!
Whatever you choose, tall or short centerpieces, just make sure that none of the materials are likely to cause discomfort or accidents. Strong flower odors can interfere with the taste of the food and bother guests with allergies; candles can be hazardous if not fixed correctly; balloons can be scary if they pop when guests least expect it; water can be spilled when it’s too full or if the vase (or bowl) is wrongly positioned or grounded. Think about these and other different disadvantages you’ll have to face when choosing the right tall or short wedding centerpiece for your ceremony.
So, yes, take your time to decide and to test what will work out best for you. In the end it will be worth it and your guests will be amazed.
