Are you looking for an elegant, inexpensive wedding centerpiece? Are you overwhelmed with all the details of the wedding and want something easy to assemble, easy to set up and no clean up. Just follow these few steps for an elegant centerpiece for your wedding reception tables.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Loaf of Bread
  • Grapes
  • Different Cheeses
  • Elegant bowl
  1. Step 1

    Find an elegant bowl. You can probably find what you want at a Hobby Lobby Store. You will need one per table. The kind of bowl depends on your theme. The one wedding I saw had a Tuscan theme, so the bowl was rustic.

  2. Step 2

    Put your loaf of bread and grapes in the bowl artistically. You can experiment with different ways to arrange the food in the bowl. Have a bread knife on the table. Or the guests can pull it apart if they wish.

  3. Step 3

    Have two different kinds of cheese at each table. Make a card stating what kind of cheese it is. Arrange the cheese on a small plate with a cheese cutter.

  4. Step 4

    Have a beautiful water pitcher on the table for the guests to serve themselves. Now the beautiful arrangement becomes the appetizer for your guests. They can serve themselves while they are waiting to go to the buffet.

Tips & Warnings
  • There is very little clean up involved. The guests eat the arrangement
  • You may add different appetizers to the table as you wish.
  • Your guests won't be bored while they wait for you.
