How to Use Mirrors in a Wedding Centerpiece

Introduction

Using mirrors is a beautiful touch when decorating your wedding reception tables. If you are making your own wedding centerpieces, use mirrors to make your centerpieces appear larger and more dramatic. Here is how you do it.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You'll Need

  • Mirrors
  • Flowers or fruit
  • Vase or bowl
  • Tea lights
  • Glitter or confetti

Steps

1

Step One

Purchase one-foot-square mirror tiles from your local craft store or home improvement center. These affordable mirrors come in a variety of styles, including smoked glass. (See Resources below.)
2

Step Two

Place several mirrors on each table to form a base for your wedding centerpiece. You can use as many mirrors as you like. Depending on the size of the table, four mirrors usually works best, creating a 2 x 2-foot square.

Step Three

Put a bowl of fruit or vase of flowers in the center of the mirrors. Use colorful fruit and flowers that will reflect nicely off the mirrors.
4

Step Four

Sprinkle flower petals, glitter or confetti on the mirrors. You can stick to the color theme of the wedding or go for something neutral like gold or silver.
5

Step Five

Place a tea light on each corner of the mirror base. These candles' reflections create a dramatic effect for an evening wedding.

Step Six

Use large, framed antique mirrors as a base instead of mirror squares. Place one large mirror on each table and cover the mirror with loose flowers or flower petals.
