Western Wedding Centerpiece Ideas
A Western wedding theme represents the historic qualities and charm of the old west. Western wedding centerpieces can come from Western fashion, historic items or nature. The centerpiece can be modern or vintage. Regardless of style, it should reflect the simplicity of a Western theme.

Western Hat or Boot Wedding Centerpeice
-
Set a cowboy hat on a vase filled with colored sand and put a few flowers in the band of the hat. Insert a vase into a cowboy boot and use it to hold flowers.
Western Flower Wedding Centerpiece
-
Choose simple flowers for a Western floral centerpiece. Wildflowers can be picked and used for table centerpieces -- just be sure to follow the local laws on picking wildflowers, as it is illegal in some places. Lazy Susans and large sunflowers can be used for centerpieces. Cactii can be a simple but chic choice. Arrange flowers in tin buckets or mason jars tied with raffia.

Vintage Western Wedding Centerpiece
-
Use antique Western pottery and vases to display candles or floral arrangements. Collect old-fashioned floral pitchers from vanity tables. Search antique stores for vintage lanterns. Purchase colorful American Indian vases or toile-patterned pottery.
Natural Western Wedding Centerpiece
-
Let nature inspire your Western wedding centerpiece. Collect large birch branches and anchor them in flower pots with a quick-set concrete mixture. Place one on each table and fill the branches with hanging votives. Slice a large branch into 6- to 8-inch circles, and engrave your initials on it. Place a couple of chunky candles on each circle with a simple flower tucked between the candles. Wrap ribbon around a bunch of wheat for a centerpiece that will stand up on its own without a vase. Use it to display the table number.
