Martha Stewart showcases some lovely floral wedding centerpieces. They can be either simple economical cut flowers in season or a topiary or something more dramatic. The choice is yours. "Terrific centerpieces are a lot like great guests. They add an extra jolt of energy to the room, attract the eye, and spark interesting conversations. Best of all, they don't make a great deal of demands on their hosts. And who doesn't want that on their wedding day?" Bowl of Poesies
Here's an easy centerpiece idea that stacks up well against pricier options: clusters of flower-filled cafe au lait bowls. 
It's in the Bag
Vases of varying sizes, shapes, and materials can be unified with mere paper bags to serve as fresh, bright centerpieces at a casual wedding. 
Bag of Blooms
A little goes a long way with this table decoration. Fresh German chamomile is placed in a jar, then enclosed in a white paper bag for an exuberant centerpiece that is also economical. 
Just Beachy
Turn kids' metal beach buckets into custom centerpieces by painting them in your wedding colors. 
I, Heart
Give petite flowers a larger presence by arranging them in the form of a heart. With this centerpiece there are enough blooms for every guest to take a cluster or two home. 
Lilacs & Succulents
In a table setting that evokes an English garden, roses and flowering oregano in mauve tones contrast with succulents (brown-tinged echeverias and trailing crassula) and curly fiddleheads.
