Wedding centerpieces have the potential to be the true aesthetic highlight of a celebration. Whether you pull together hundreds of seasonal wedding flowers, embrace candlelit table arrangements, or curate antique vessels to place on your tables, the result will inevitably impact the overall feel of your wedding events.
As the central design element that will be right in front of guests while seated at the reception, it’s important to consider what will be within their line of sight throughout the evening. You can mix up centerpieces based on table size and shape, keep the arrangements the same in every single vase, or bring together an eclectic mix of items that create a unique, yet cohesive spread that fits the vibe of your wedding day.
No matter your design aesthetic, we curated inspiration from real Vogue wedding centerpieces along with reception tablescape tips to help you curate the look and feel of your own nuptials.
1. Table Lamps and Wild Florals

At a winery wedding in Santa Ynez, the brides chose to lean into the organic nature of their surroundings. They selected floral arrangements with wild, dynamic greenery, opened-up blooms, and a mix of neutral white and red petals. They also wanted the event to feel like a chic dinner party, so table lamps with clear glass shades lent a clever design touch to the spread. One final fun addition? Butter shapped to appear like a flower petal, along with touches of real lavender.
