If flowers are important to you, the blushing bride, then you should focus on your guest table centerpieces. These arrangements will literally be front and center to your guests and will be what they remember most. They may also be the most photographed flowers of your wedding. But if a huge topiary or a cascading, double-tiered arrangement is not your style, here are a few fun flower arrangement ideas I found on Flickr.

Like a fish bowl! Fish bowls are fun and casual containers for flowers, and you can fill it with whatever you want — here, there are roses, orchids, daisies, a floating candle and water, but you can can also add shiny marbles, rocks, more dandles, colored water — whatever your bride-to-be heart desires. The mirror its sitting on is optional, but you can go square or circle — I’d go square, but that’s just me.

I really like small, neat flower arrangements like these. These look like 5-inch tall cylinder vases containing chrysanthemums and pink roses. They’re cute, don’t take up a lot of table space and don’t block the view across the table. Another bonus — its an easy arrangement for guests to take home (because the plan for most guest table arrangements is for at least one guest to take each table arrangement home) and easy to display.

This arrangement is similarly simple, but definitely a little artsier! I forget the name of the long leaf angled to one side, but the roses and green and white mums are sitting on top of a bed of lemon leaf, in a silver vase.

This is a a pretty centerpiece for a rectangular guest table. I love the lantern and the candle in the middle. The flowers are creamy white and pink roses and white Hawaiian orchids. Very nice.

I gotta say, this is my favorite idea. Beakers. Beakers! Fill em halfway with water and put a cymbidium orchid in one and a few purple baby calla lilies in the other. Oh, and don’t forget — they make great candle holders too! Adorable, cute and quirky all at the same time.
