Mono-floral arrangements are a great way to emphasize your favorite flowers and to create a special centerpiece. Whether you want to go all out with your arrangement or keep it simple, mono-floral centerpieces have become increasingly celebrated for their versatility. By mixing greenery with your choice flower, you can create the ideal statement piece. Using one type of flower also doesn’t confine you to one color, as seen photographed above, you can integrate various shades as available depending on the flower you choose. 

While every wedding’s layout looks different in terms of table set up and seating arrangements, if you idealize a wedding with long and bonded tables, a great way to liven these up is to have full table runners.

This can include everything from extending planned flower arrangements to incorporating other centerpiece elements that may have been too much for a singular piece. Runners allow you to really emphasize specific elements, and the extended design also hones in on the idea of abundance with the spring season.

Pastels really characterize the color palette of the spring season, with lighter shades across the rainbow being called to action. Brighter and warmer shades come to life in yellow daffodils, tulips, and buttercups. A beautiful and natural white can be found in babies breath and lily of the valley, which make great additions to your table décor regardless of the scheme. Even cooler shades of blue, green, and purple can be utilized in your centerpieces while maintaining the appeal of the season. Between various shades that tulips, roses, and peonies offer, it’s hard to find a flower whose colors aren't associated with spring.

Candles have been symbolically represented in weddings for centuries. Traditionally, candles in weddings represent the families of each partner. Using them in your decorations and especially centerpieces illustrates the merging of familial relations and the beauty of the union between the couple and their own families.

Monochrome themes can be the key to your ideal simple centerpiece. There are ways to make even the most extravagant settings monochrome, and keeping everything in one color family adds a level of class and consistency to your centerpiece that speaks for itself. Especially when you take advantage of the colors associated with the spring season, monochrome pieces are a great way to indulge in various seasonal color palettes. Even maintaining a consistently neutral color, such as white or creme, and allowing for splashes of color is a great way to create a clean and understated look for your wedding flowers.
