February 19, 2026

There are so many reasons why we love a spring wedding. You’ve got beautiful weather, soft pastel color palettes, and flowers blooming everywhere. It’s basically the perfect recipe for a stunning wedding day and some truly incredible centerpieces. And if you’re looking for ways to add personality to your wedding design, centerpieces are the easiest way. 

Remember: just because you’re having a small wedding doesn’t mean you need to skip out on stunning decor. Micro weddings are actually the perfect opportunity to get a little more creative with your details, starting with your centerpieces. Whether you’re drawn to minimal designs or colorful, floral (or floral-alternative) designs, here are some spring centerpiece ideas that work beautifully for micro weddings.

Colorful Table Runners

It’s not all about the linens. Sometimes a table runner is the perfect pop of color for your tablescape. If you’re using long wooden banquet tables, you probably don’t want to cover them with linens. Instead, you can add a runner to add texture while still letting the natural wood peek through. They also work beautifully layered on top of neutral table linens to mix in colorful details that complement your florals.

Bud Vases with Delicate Flowers

Bud vases are a micro-wedding favorite for a reason. They’re simple, elegant, and incredibly versatile. Using a mix of varying small vases with delicate spring blooms creates a light, airy look that feels intentional without being overdone. This is also a great option if you love florals but want to keep a minimalistic look.

Using Fruit for Texture and Colour

One of the biggest spring wedding trends is incorporating fresh fruits into your centerpieces. Adding fruit to your centerpieces or place settings is such a fun way to create decor that’s out of the box. Think pears, limes, lemons, or even cherries, depending on your palette. Fruit pairs beautifully with spring florals and adds an unexpected, editorial feel that looks amazing.

Flower Frog Arrangements

You know those arrangements where flowers are placed into those little spiky bases? Those are called flower frog arrangements. These are a great way to create low-profile centerpieces that feel effortlessly modern. It’s also ideal for those prioritizing sustainability during the wedding planning process because it’s a sustainable, foam-free technique.

Mini Lamps 

Brighten up (literally!) your reception tables by adding cordless mini lamps. This detail is both stylish and functional, and it works beautifully as a standalone centerpiece or an accent piece whether your choosing an outdoor reception or having it indoors. Mini lamps add a cozy, romantic glow that feels especially perfect for micro weddings, creating an atmosphere that’s warm, inviting, and incredibly chic.

Candles in Glass Vases

Candles instantly add warmth and romance to any table—perfect for spring weddings! You can mix and match different colors, heights, and widths to add dimension to your tablescapes. A lot of couples will also enclose the candles using glass vases or hurricanes for an elegant touch.

Lanterns with Candles or Florals

Lanterns are a great option if you’re going for a slightly more rustic spring vibe. You can place candles inside for a warm glow or fill them with flowers and greenery for a seasonal touch. They’re especially perfect for outdoor or garden-style micro weddings.

Repurposing Bouquets

If you’re having a micro wedding, odds are you have a smaller guest list and fewer tables to decorate for your post-ceremony party. This makes repurposing bouquets as centerpieces. This isn’t something we’d typically recommend for large weddings, but for intimate celebrations, it can work beautifully.
