The word vase may evoke ideas of flowers, but hurricanes hold more than flowers. Ranging from simple to elaborate, hurricane centerpieces provide a colorful addition to wedding reception decor.

Floating Dream
-
Place a large hurricane vase in the middle of a reception guest table. Fill with water, stopping when the vase is half full. Add waterproof rose petals matching wedding theme colors to the water. Tint the water before adding rose petals, adding color to a white room. Tie or glue 1-inch ribbon around the top or bottom of the hurricane vase. Alternatives to rose petals include artificial fruits and floating candles.
Minimalistic Flowers
-
Carefully place smooth river stones onto the bottom of a hurricane vase. Add enough water to cover the stones. Add a few stones to the table around the hurricane vase. Secure the stones to tablecloths with craft glue to prevent them from falling to the floor, causing a safety hazard. Place long-stemmed exotic flowers in the hurricane vases the morning of wedding day.

Candy Lovers Delight

Order candies in wedding-theme colors. Pour candies into hurricane vases the morning of the wedding day. Tie matching 1-inch ribbon around the top or bottom of the hurricane. Place wedding favor boxes filled with candy at each place setting. Give away candy centerpieces when the reception ends.
Potpourri
-
Pour wedding-themed potpourri into hurricane vases hours before the reception. Potpourri gives white reception tables a blast of color. Scented potpourri doubles as a room fragrance. Place candles in glass votive holders around the hurricane vase centerpiece.
Wreath
-
Attach fresh or artificial flowers to floral wire, creating a wreath. Place wreaths in the middle of the reception tables. Sit hurricane vases in the center of each wreath. Fill the bottom of a hurricane vase with colored glass beads. Place a large candle in the center of the vase. Ask a friend to light candles immediately after the wedding ceremony.
Photo
-
Place rocks 1 inch deep at the bottom of the hurricane vase. Place a small section of floral foam in the middle of the rocks. Add more rocks around the floral foam. Glue a picture of the bride and groom to a thin wooden dowel. Feed the dowel through the opening of the hurricane vase, pressing the end without the photo into the floral foam. Experiment with dowel lengths until the picture sits above the hurricane opening. Glue 1-inch ribbon around the top or bottom of the hurricane vase.
