These couples took their own spin on the classic all-white wedding.
1 of 80
There's just something so special about a white wedding color palette. The classic hue fits with every style of event, so whether you're hosting a traditional celebration or one with more contemporary style, white décor always manages to look fresh, modern, and absolutely wedding-ready. Plus, there's a good chance your florist will be able to deliver on an all-white centerpiece made from just about any wedding flower that catches your eye since many popular big-day blooms (and even those that aren't so well-known!) are available in white. Choosing gorgeous reception decorations just a whole lot got easier!
Just as there are numerous flowers available in this classic color, there are many ways to arrange monochromatic blooms so that they look fresh and different. Think garlands, bouquets, tall centerpieces, or short arrangements. The sky (or the reception ceiling) is the limit. Which is exactly why the white wedding centerpiece will never go out of style. Don't forget to put your own twist on this wedding staple to make sure it's a flawless fit for your day, but know you'll never go wrong with all-white blooms.
Looking for a little inspiration to get you started? Turn to these statement-making ideas from real weddings for guidance. As you scroll through, take note: the following photos prove that a perfect all-white wedding centerpiece involves so much more than the blooms. Be on the lookout for pretty ceramic urns, antique vessels, and marble bowls—all of which influence major tablescape style.
