Transforming a restaurant party room or a social club's reception hall into a festive environment is just a few table centerpieces away. The decoration reminds reception guests of the theme, mood and reason for a celebration. From flowers and fruits to photographs and desserts, only your imagination and budget limit the creation of fabulous table centerpieces. Does this Spark an idea?
Wedding
Wedding centerpieces often revolve around color themes, according to Real Simple online. For example, to embellish a summer wedding in golden hues, a centerpiece of daffodils, daisies and lemon-colored spider mums create a cheery arrangement. Still-life centerpieces---such as apples, miniature pumpkins, fall leaves and pine cones layered in large glass vessels---express a fall theme at a wedding reception. For a twist on tradition, miniature three-tired wedding cakes placed at the center of each table at the reception will both impress guests and satisfy a craving for a sweet treat.
Anniversary
The centerpieces at an anniversary reception should salute the guests of honor. Whether a wedding photo accompanied by a current portrait of the couple rests atop a floral arrangement or the party host has recreated the couple's wedding day centerpieces, the display celebrates the milestone. For large receptions hosted on a budget, a simple centerpiece made with a single long-stem rose in a bud vase resting atop "Happy Anniversary" confetti looks elegant and festive.
Graduation
After a graduation ceremony, an open house reception for the graduate allows family and friends to gather and celebrate. Whether guests gather in the backyard at picnic tables or sit down for an elegant catered dinner at a reception hall, centerpieces add a festive vibe to the environment. Colorful balloon bouquets toting the graduation year or school mascot works well for high school graduate receptions. For a college graduation, consider simple bouquets reflecting the school colors, candles of varying heights resting on a mirror or an elegant display of dessert pastries.
Military
Honor the return of a friend or family member in the military with centerpieces highlighting their specific branch of the military. Miniature U.S. flags coupled with flags printed with the guest of honor's branch insignia, ranking or honors pays homage to his dedicated service. Using red, white and blue candies as confetti on the table around the centerpiece adds color and a quick treat for guests. Red and white starlight mints, blue jelly beans and gold wrapped chocolate stars add to the simple centerpiece.
