Light Up with Lamps!

Have you ever thought about using a lamp for a wedding centerpiece? At first, I thought the idea of a lamp centerpiece would look cheesy but I was surprised to see how much I liked this unique look!

There are many reasons lamps make great centerpieces. Lamps and lamp shades come in all different shapes, sizes and colors so the possibilities are endless on the final look of the centerpiece.

Of course lamps look beautiful when paired with flowers.  Some lamps are glass on the bottom and can be filled with flowers to match the wedding.

Another way to pair lamps and flowers is to pair place flowers at the base of the lamp shade.  I love the height that the lamp shade brings to table!

Depending on the lamp you choose and how you accessorize the lamp can give a totally different look and feel.  A modern approach is to choose a modern lamp like the one below and use vases of flowers around the base of the lamp. Or for a vintage look use vintage bud vases to surround the lamp base.

Some brides are opting to use smaller lamps either alone or in a group.  The patterned or colored lamp shade is used instead of flowers.

Happy Planning!
