Mismatched and eclectic is a very hot trend for weddings. Brides (and their guests!) are weary of the matchy-matchy kind of wedding. These are some great ideas for unique mismatched wedding centerpieces with lots of personality.

Many of the prettiest mix and match centerpiece sets are also a snap to make. The crafty bride will find it more realistic to make a variety of table arrangements rather than attempting to recreate one style over and over. Small antique vessels will have a great impact when arranged in groups. Look for old tea tins or other tin canisters with pretty and interesting labels painted on them. Mix and match the shapes of the tins, as well as the flowers within them. While not elaborate, the centerpieces will be very pleasing. They would be so cute for a wedding with a lot of handcrafted details, such as letterpress wedding invitations and handmade custom bridal jewelry.

For the bride and groom who share a passion for reading, this next unique centerpiece idea is bound to be a hit. A great idea for an unexpected centerpiece is to create a tower of anique books. It will be a lot of fun to find the old books in second hand shops and yard sales; choose ones which have good looking hardcovers (no paperbacks!) and romantic themes. A really neat idea is to group books by theme or author for each table, ie, Russian novelists, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, etc. Carry the concept to the next level and use your favorite literature to inspire the table names. Accents like single blossoms will be a nice addition to the stacks of books. This is one mismatched centerpiece idea that is sure to be a great conversation starter during the reception.

High and low vases can be used to create a terrific centerpiece design. The idea can work just as well for formal weddings as casual ones. For instance, let’s say that you were planning an evening wedding with lots of crystal custom bridal jewelry, flowing champagne, and fine cuisine. A gorgeous design ideas is to use a high low combination of centerpieces, some with candles and the others with flowers. This type of plan strikes a nice balance, because the tall centerpieces feel more grand, but the low ones have more flowers. This way no table of guests feels like they got the second tier centerpiece.

A country wedding offers lots of inspiration for non-matching centerpieces. As long as the vessels and flowers have generally the same style, they will look fantastic together. You could combine Mason jars with small galvanized tin pails for a rustic summer wedding. Arrange casual blossoms in them for a lovely informal style. A country wedding theme is a favorite for fall brides. Imagine you were planning a fall barn wedding with a fall colors theme carried throughout the tablecloths, custom bridal jewelry, and the wedding cake. For your centerpieces, hollow out white pumpkins, orange pumpkins, and eggplants. Use fall flowers in the collection of natural vases. What a simple but delightful mismatched centerpiece design!

Possibilities abound for unique mismatched wedding centerpieces. Set out a different yellow flower on each table, gather Depression glass pieces, or turn vintage tins into vessels. Your centerpices will defiinitely be unique and appealing!
