Party Decoration Ideas for Table Centerpieces

Unleash your creativity when designing a party table centerpiece. Consider the party theme, decorations, or the celebrant's favorite candy, colors, and flowers when creating the piece. Mix and match traditional centerpiece items, such as candles and flowers, with interesting vessels and edible treats. Save time and money by creating centerpieces that double as party favors. Does this Spark an idea?

Floating Candles

If you are hosting a summer garden party, create an elegant, botanical centerpiece. Fill three various-sized tall glass vases with handfuls of smooth, polished stones. The vases can be enhanced with faux flower blossoms of any color, from sophisticated white to flirty pink; the flower heads will rest on top of the stones. Finish the centerpiece by allowing a white or cream-colored floating candle to glide on top of the water. Place the vases in the center of the party table.

Winter-Inspired Centerpiece

Decorate a winter wedding or holiday party table with an easy-to-make, enchanting centerpiece. Spray a green pine wreath with fake snow and allow it to dry. Place one silver and one ice blue pillar candle in the center of the wreath. Silver spray-painted pine cones and shiny blue ornament balls will give the wreath additional festive flair. The centerpiece will give the party table a soft glow.

Fresh Fruit Arrangement

Create a fresh, tropical-inspired table centerpiece using vibrant fruit. Mix and match fruit and flowers to design a customized look. Fill a large glass vase with water, sliced limes, starfruit, and birds of paradise or orchids for an exotic look. Whole lemons and yellow, orange, and white tulips will have a bright, sunny appearance. Cranberries, sliced oranges or tangerines, and deep red roses will infuse the party table with a warm, autumn-inspired vibe.

Candy Decor

Use candy to create a sweet baby shower or child's birthday party centerpiece. Fill a shallow glass bowl with colorful jellybeans and insert flower-shaped lollipops; each guest can take a lollipop home as a party favor. Ice cream sundae glasses look charming when filled with white and pink gumdrops, chocolate candies, and topped with a fluff of pink cotton candy.
