Wedding Centerpieces



Express your individuality and personality through creative decor.  There are countless ways of decorating your tables that don't include homogenous centerpeices or flowers, that can come out looking just as beautiful.

Your centerpieces don't have to match your tables.  Be creative by mixing it up and bringing life to your decor.  Some examples are - mixing up the vases, experimenting with different flower holders that are unconventional, include candles or ornaments if it's a special themed wedding (e.g seashells, mini waterfalls, miniature sculptures), design wreath of flowers, add different heights, textures, and colors to your flower holders.  A big trend is adding fruits or vegetables in centerpieces.

If you would like to have smaller flowers than the typical large centerpieces, include small vases of flowers that may stem from low blooms, wildflowers, or a single bloom.  Low blooms are ideal for cluster effects. Create your own unique and unforgettable styles.  Choose items that compliment you.

There is no rule of thumb that says that all of your centerpieces have to match.  Part with tradition and open open up to creativity.




Have a great reception!

The Best Time To Book Your Caribbean Wedding

Before you choose your Caribbean Destination Wedding, be sure to look into the weather conditions.

The high season in the Caribbean runs from mid-December to mid-April.  After April rates go down as much as 35% but some places do close down between August and October (check with your Wedding Consultant).  The humidity and rainfall are low with temperatures averaging between 72 and 87 degrees year-round.  Although hurricanes are infrequent in some islands, it's best to be aware of any warnings before you sign on the dotted lines.

The hurricane season lasts from June through November. For an outdoor wedding, make sure that there is a back-up plan should in case it rains.  Meet with your wedding coordinator on site to reconfirm an alternate location close by to move your guests with ease.  It pays to be safe, therefore when you meet with your wedding coordinator, be prepared with a long list of questions including any surcharge for moving your guests indoors.

It's your most memorable day so celebrate it with little stress.
