Wedding Reception Centerpiece Ideas - Centerpiece Types

When looking for wedding reception centerpiece ideas the first question you should answer is whether you are looking for traditional wedding centerpieces which can fit in at any wedding or if you need to be more specific, matching a theme or color scheme for your wedding. Basic centerpieces will work for any wedding, but if you have an elaborate theme you might want to match your centerpieces to carry the theme into every aspect of your wedding.
