If you wish to make  a statement at their wedding may want to invest in truly unique wedding centerpieces. Generally reception sites do not allow for a great deal of creativity in the decorations. They use standard table linens and place settings.  Unique centerpieces is one way thatthe bride and groom can make their reception more memorable.

Using live fish into the wedding centerpiece is one truly unique centerpiece idea for a wedding reception. Simple glass bowls can be used and filled with colorful glass marbles, water and a colorful fish. You could  include a small amount of fish food at the table where children will be sitting with instructions  to avoid overfeeding the fish.  This lively and interactive centerpiece idea is sure to be a hit with kids and will even keep adults entertained.

Another unique wedding centerpiece  is to arrange a collection of board games in the center of each table. Guests who choose to play the games are given the opportunity and incentive to get to know those seated at their table if they don’t already know them. This is an excellent option for guests who don’t enjoy dancing.

Cakes or cupcakes arranged on a serving tray and artfully decorated with fresh or artificial flowers also make a lovely and unique centerpiece. These cakes can be used in place of the traditional wedding cake. Not only is this a unique idea but  it also allows the couple the option of having several different types of cakes and fillings.

An attractive journal that matches the theme of the wedding along with several pens can also serve as a unique centerpiece.It can also be used by the guests to leave messages of congratulations or words of advice for the couple. The couple not only has a unique centerpiece but they also have a treasured souvenir of their wedding day with the kind words recorded by their wedding guests.

How about puzzles made up from pictures of the couple. The pieces of the puzzle can be left scattered on the table. This cennterpiece idea encourages the people sitting at the table to work together to try to put the puzzle together. This is especially useful if many of the guests do not know each other because it is a great icebreaker.

An assortment of Champaign flutes also makes a truly unique centerpiece. You can purchase glasses of various shapes and sizes from a thrift store and clean them up to use them as centerpieces. The glasses can be arranged in an attractive but random pattern to create a unique centerpiece for any occasion.

A unique centerpiece is definitely more likely to be remembered than a boring one.
