Confections

• Use confections as a decorative and edible centerpiece. Fill a glass bowl with colorful chocolates, hard candies or wedding mints. Consider using confections that match your wedding colors. Add further decoration to the bowl by wrapping ribbon around the top and tying a bow.
  
  

Candles

• Use candles as a filler in a wide glass bowl or vase. Place three pillars of various heights inside the bowl. Fill the bottom of the bowl or vase with sand, shells, flowers or rocks. Another option is to fill the bowl or vase with water and place floating candles on top. One large pillar candle creates a classy statement inside of a bowl or vase as well. Place a mirror tile under the centerpiece to create further reflection and ambiance. Rent or purchase your bowl, vase, mirror or candles.
  
  

Flowers

• Use fresh or silk flowers that match your wedding colors or overall wedding theme. Put long-stemmed flowers in tall vases. Another option is to trim the stems off the flowers and float them in a wide vase full of water. A clear, wide vase can also house real or silk flower petals as a centerpiece. Wicker baskets also work well for holding a bouquet of fresh or silk flowers. Add greenery to your flowers for an extra accent color.
  
  

Fruit

• Use bright colored fruit as an affordable centerpiece. Place whole fruits in a clear bowl or vase. Fruits to consider are oranges, lemons, apples or limes. Another option is to slice fresh fruit and place it in a bowl or vase filled with water. This simple filler creates a conversation piece and gives off an enjoyable scent.
