Stick to Your Wedding Theme
If your wedding is a modern affair with lots of shiny glass and metal, any centerpiece with those elements will work. If your wedding is traditional, look for classic shapes and materials for centerpieces.
Wooden candelabras look great with traditional or rustic decor but will clash with modern decorations. If your wedding theme is eclectic with a mix of styles, of course, you can go wild and choose whatever you want!
Consider the Height, Span, and Placement
Wedding candelabras on a long table with food can be large and tall without issues. However, think about the people at a round table trying to talk to each other before deciding on a centerpiece.
Wide and tall centerpieces can get in the way and stop people from seeing anyone sitting across from them. You don’t want to limit conversation that way.
Think about whether anyone needs to see over the centerpiece, and keep the tall options for non-seating tables.
Use Color
Metal shades, whether modern shiny surfaces or vintage, are a safe bet for wedding centerpieces. However, don’t be afraid of white, wood tones, or candleholders in your wedding colors.
If your colors are white and peach, for instance, candelabra centerpieces in both colors placed on reception tables can create a beautiful look. You can also add flowers, ribbons, or crystal gems around the base of metal candle holders for an extra splash of color.
Mix and Match
If you need more than one candelabra, it can be hard to find exact matches, especially if your favorite is a vintage piece. Fortunately, you don’t have to have the same centerpiece on every table.
Choose candleholders that have enough similarities that they look good together. Candelabras with similar shapes, sizes, styles, or colors will complement each other and look like a set.
If your favorite is a vintage brass Victorian style, for instance, pick another Victorian holder in a similar shade. If you need several, it’s not a problem if they’re all different, as long as they have similar elements.
