2026 Wedding Centrepiece Trends:

Silver Candlelight Romance (A Big 2026 Favourite)

Silver is making a beautiful comeback in 2026 wedding décor, offering a lighter, more contemporary alternative to gold. When paired with soft candlelight and white florals, silver centrepieces feel timeless, romantic and effortlessly elegant.

This look works particularly well in both traditional and modern venues, creating atmosphere without feeling heavy or over-styled.

This style is perfect for:

• Church and historic venues

• Winter and evening weddings

• Couples wanting a classic but modern look

Recreate this look with Classy Parties:

• Silver candelabras with LED taper candles

• Taper candle holders with LED candles

• Cylinder vases & pillar candles for layered candlelit height

• White florals from our 'Forever in Bloom' collection with greenery, white flowers and optional coloured roses (over 40 colours to choose from)

Styling tip: Keep florals soft and neutral and let the candlelight create the romance.

🌿 Green & White Botanical Elegance

Greenery-led styling continues to be one of the most popular choices for 2026 weddings, especially when paired with soft candlelight and classic white florals. This look feels fresh, natural and timeless, making it a favourite for couples who want elegant décor without anything too formal.

Using a green and white palette also creates a calm, cohesive feel throughout the venue and works beautifully across both ceremony and reception spaces.

This style is perfect for:

• Barn and marquee weddings

• Countryside and coastal venues

• Spring and summer weddings

Recreate this look with Classy Parties:

• Silver candelabras styled with greenery

• Birdcage centrepieces with LED candles

• Bud vases with white flowers and foliage

• Cylinder vases with LED pillar candles

Styling tip: Keep the florals neutral and let the greenery run through the tables for a relaxed but polished finish.

🕯️ Romantic Candle-Only Tablescapes

For 2026 weddings, many couples are embracing candle-led centrepieces with little or no florals. This style creates an intimate, cosy atmosphere and allows the warm glow of candlelight to take centre stage.

Candle-only tablescapes are especially popular for evening receptions and winter weddings, and they’re also a practical choice for venues that restrict real flames.

This style is perfect for:

• Winter and evening weddings

• Historic venues and churches

• Couples wanting a soft, romantic ambience

Recreate this look with Classy Parties:

• LED pillar candles in mixed heights

• Glass vases to house the candles for a soft, glowing finish

• Cylinder vases grouped in clusters

• Tealight candles and holders for layered height and subtle elegance

Styling tip: Group candles in odd numbers and vary the heights to create depth and a luxurious, layered look.

🌸 Bud Vase & Mixed Tablescapes (Pinterest Favourite)

One of the biggest Pinterest trends for 2026 weddings is the move towards relaxed, mixed tablescapes using bud vases, candles and glassware rather than a single large centrepiece.

This style feels modern, effortless and beautifully styled, while still allowing plenty of space for guests to talk across the table. It’s also a great option for couples who love a more informal, editorial look.

This style is perfect for:

• Long banquet tables

• Modern and relaxed wedding venues

• Couples wanting a stylish but unfussy look

Recreate this look with Classy Parties:

• Bud vases with simple florals or single roses

• Cylinder vases with LED candles

• Elegant taper candle holders

• Clear or silver accessories

Styling tip: Stick to one or two flower varieties and repeat them along the table for a cohesive, Pinterest-worthy finish.

🌟 Tall Floral Statement Centrepieces

Tall centrepieces continue to be a popular choice for 2026 weddings, especially when used selectively to create a real sense of drama and impact. Rather than filling every table with height, many couples are choosing tall arrangements for top tables, feature tables or key areas within the venue.

Using elegant stands or tall vases paired with soft, neutral florals keeps the look refined and balanced, while still making a statement.

This style is perfect for:

• Larger venues and hotel ballrooms

• Top tables and feature tables

• Couples wanting a touch of luxury

Recreate this look with Classy Parties:

• Acrylic or gold stands with large floral arrangements

• Cylinder or martini vases with LED candles at the base

• White florals with greenery, with optional coloured roses

Styling tip: Balance tall centrepieces with lower candle arrangements on surrounding tables for a cohesive look.

✨ Elevate Your Wedding Styling with Statement Backdrops

For 2026 weddings, couples are looking beyond table décor and focusing on statement features that bring the whole venue together. Backdrops play a key role in this, creating beautiful focal points for ceremonies, sweetheart tables and photo areas.

At Classy Parties, our backdrops and arches are professionally styled as standard using white florals and greenery, with the option to add coloured roses to tie in seamlessly with your chosen colour scheme. This ensures your backdrop complements your centrepieces perfectly and creates a cohesive look throughout the day.

To add a personal finishing touch, many couples choose to include a neon sign within their backdrop styling. We offer a range of neon signs to choose from, allowing you to add a romantic phrase that complements your overall décor.

🌙 Silver & Gold Moongate Arches

Moongate arches remain a popular choice for 2026, offering a soft, romantic shape that suits both traditional and modern venues.

Pairs beautifully with:

• Silver candelabra centrepieces & gold stands

• Candle tablescapes with LED candles, candle holders and vases.

• Green and white botanical table styling

These arches work especially well when used to mirror the elegant curves and candlelight seen throughout the reception space.

⬛ Square Floral Arches

Square arches are ideal for couples who prefer a more clean-lined, contemporary look. Their structured shape provides a striking contrast to soft florals and candlelight.

Pairs beautifully with:

• Bud vase and mixed tablescapes

• Modern candle clusters

• Acrylic or glass-led centrepieces

This pairing creates a polished, modern aesthetic while still feeling warm and welcoming.

🌿 Sets of Arches for a Layered Look

Using a set of arches adds depth and impact to ceremony spaces and larger venues. This layered approach feels luxurious while remaining light and elegant.

Pairs beautifully with:

• Tall floral statement centrepieces

• Long tables styled with candles and greenery

• Larger venue layouts needing visual balance

Sets of arches are ideal for creating a strong focal point that complements statement tables elsewhere in the venue.
