There are many reasons to decorate with simple wedding centerpieces. Using fewer flowers is typically less expensive than using large quantities of blooms, and these arrangements are generally less overwhelming than their bigger counterparts. 


This is an especially great choice when you want another part of the reception to be the main attraction. Of course, simple doesn't automatically mean subdued—sometimes the most stunning displays are those that do the most with the least. 


Minimalist décor is popular at modern weddings, and simple centerpieces can be a nice alternative to lush, overflowing blooms. Another great reason to go with less complex arrangements is if you want to make them on your own. DIYing flowers is surprisingly stress-free if you stick to certain designs.

Ahead, examples of wedding centerpieces that are easy to assemble, but don't look it. Each elegant arrangement is based on a different take of what "simple" means, whether that's a monochrome color palette, bundles featuring just one type of flower, displays that use accessible, common materials (think: Mason jars and candles), or casual, rustic assortments.

First, check out this cool display of stems in a mix of Penn + Fairmount, Jamali Garden, and other vases. If you like what you see, there's more inspiration where that came from. 


In fact, there's something here for every season and theme, plus any reception venue or table type. Best of all, if you aren't set on choosing one for your wedding, each pretty idea would work well for a rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, or other nuptial-related event instead.
